Chinese motorcyclist set on fire after lorry collision

Dramatic CCTV footage has captured the moment a female motorcyclist was engulfed in flames after her bike collided with the back of a lorry in southern China.

The motorbike and rider are seen being dragged underneath the vehicle before spinning off and catching alight as the fuel tank explodes.

The woman is then seen jumping into nearby bushes as witnesses rush to help her and put the blaze out.

The rider was taken for treatment at a local hospital after Thursday's crash in Forshan City in Guangdong Province.
