This video is like one of those horrendous dreams where something's slowly coming towards you and you can't seem to move or get out of the way in time.

That dream almost became a reality for London-based moto-vlogger Bigsmokeandthemonster recently, when a turning truck driver failed to see him waiting at a junction and ploughed into his Ducati Monster.

The owner of the Ducati – who commented beneath his video, "Just when I thought I had enough underwear!" – fortunately came away unscathed. His bike didn't.

Our favourite moment of this video is actually in the aftermath, though, when a woman who witnesses the crash gives the bike rider a hug after asking him if he's okay.
