Lucky Chinese Rider Gets an Extremely Close Shave

One extremely lucky Chinese rider found out that stopping lines at the crossroads have their real purposes. While the guys was clearly not obeying road regulations while having stopped on the very pedestrian crossing and trying to get across the intersection as fast as possible, he definitely could not foresee that the incoming truck was about to tip over.
The truck driver came in too fast as he was steering left, so the huge load on the platform was too much for the vehicle. As the truck starts tipping, the scooter rider realizes he's about to be simply mashed into pieces by the falling container and starts to back of.

The guy made it safely just inches away form certain death, as you can see the fallen container pushing his scooter a couple of feet. While the reaction of the rider jumping away form his scooter was easy to understand, we cannot figure what's wrong with the car driver shifting into reverse and backing off seconds after the whole thing ended.
