The motorcycle then tilted as it got caught under the tanker. The biker managed to get away just in time, escaping from the path of the heavy vehicle.
He was then seen standing a short distance away as the tanker ran over his motorcycle, crushing it beneath its wheels before continuing down the road.
The tanker did not have a number plate, making it difficult to immediately identify the vehicle. Locals later chased after the tanker, and a complaint has now been registered in connection with the incident.
