Alerted by frantic screams from passersby, the trailer driver quickly stopped, preventing a potentially fatal outcome.
Thanh was promptly rushed to a nearby hospital, sustaining only minor injuries to his legs and face.
His motorbike, however, was heavily damaged.
Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the collision.
Traffic safety experts warn that large vehicles like trucks and trailers have significant blind spots, making smaller vehicles and motorcycles especially vulnerable in these areas. They urge road users to exercise extreme caution when near large vehicles to avoid similar accidents.
