VIDEO: Motorcyclist jumps to safety before backing big rig runs over his bike

A motorcyclist shared frightening video of his way-too-close encounter with a backing semi truck.

The video was captured in Tennessee on July 6, 2023.

In video captured by a camera mounted on the motorcycle, you can see the motorcyclist riding behind a semi truck. The truck driver puts on the left turn signal and stops with the motorcycle close behind. The semi driver then backs up to make the left hand turn and winds up backing over the motorcycle just moments after the rider laid the bike down and moved away.

Take a look at the video below.
