This is the run for your life moment a terrified driver tries to outrun a lorry trailer hurtling towards them at breakneck speed after it snapped off a lorry during a freak crash.

Street cam footage of the shocking race, recorded on 22nd April, show the lorry overturning and its trailer breaking free.

As it skids across two lanes on its side, the trailer horrifyingly begins to catch up with a white Suzuki supermini going the same way.

And in a nail-biting moment as the terrified driver tries to pull away, the trailer begins to catch up.

Then for a few heart-stopping seconds the trailer makes contact and begins to push the car along the road.

Mercifully, though, it loses momentum and as it slows down, the car speeds off apparently unharmed.

The 27-year-old trucker, however, was crushed to death in the crash in Alubijid, in the Philippines, caused when one of his tyres exploded and he hit another vehicle.

Police who are investigating the crash say the blowout was caused by an excessive load and extreme heat.
