This is the moment a motorcyclist had to cling to a lorry that had rammed his bike and killed his wife as it sped along along a motorway in southern Brazil.
Anderson Antonio Pereira, 49, was forced to hold on for his life while the driver carried on for more than 19 miles, with the motorcycle jammed under the front of his truck.
Anderson and his wife Sandra, 47, had been enjoying a Sunday cruise on the motorcycle they bought just two months previously when they were rammed from behind on the BR-101 motorway, in the coastal municipality of Penha.
Sandra was killed but Anderson, who had been also injured in the collision, somehow clambered from the motorcycle and up on to the door of the truck.

Video shot by motorists shows Anderson swinging from the left-hand door of the lorry with his bike squashed under the front of the HGV and being scraped along the road.
Later on, after the truck has finally come to a halt, other motorists can be seen dragging the driver from his vehicle and tussling with him before his subsequent arrest.
