As hard as it may to believe without watching the video footage, a pedestrian that was running across a busy road somewhere in Russia (where else…) was to blame for the overturning of a BMW motorcycle that landed on top of its rider.

We cannot say for sure if there was any contact between the rider and the pedestrian, but the motorcyclist appears to be caught off guard at that point so he slammed the front brake, which caused the bike to flip over.

The rider was trapped under the bike, but was soon freed from the painful and somewhat awkward position with the help of the drivers that came to his assistance.

See how the accident played out in the video after the break.
