WATCH: This runaway car take out a biker before crashing into a river

It was a close call for a biker who got caught up in an unfortunate incident in China recently.

A man was meeting a friend in a car-park however, as he left his car to chat, he soon realised he had forgotten to put on the handbrake and the car began to roll across the tarmac towards the river at the other side.

Acting fast, the man hopped back into his car, but in his rush he pressed the gas pedal instead of the brake, speeding up the car and taking out the biker who was passing behind the car.

The car ended up in the river, but thankfully no one was injured as the water was quite shallow.

An expensive lesson in how to to park properly!
