The name of this clip pretty much says it all as there are very few things more scary than crashing your motorcycle on the freeway.

Thankfully, moments before the fall, the rider had time to slow down seen as how the pickup truck in front of him also lowered its speed in order to go around a ladder that was just sitting there in the middle of the lane.

Where the ladder came from exactly is impossible to determine, but whichever vehicle lost it did so probably way before the red pickup came up on it – judging by how much time the driver had to slow down and go around it.

You could argue that the rider might have had time and room to avoid running into the ladder, had he simply followed the pickup into the next lane, or better yet by just putting more distance between himself and the car in front.
