But a black commercial vehicle is travelling a short distance behind it at speed.
The driver, apparently unable to slow down in time, swerves to the side and into the young woman’s path.
She flinches a split-second before the large vehicle slams into her from behind at around 12:20 pm on Wednesday (3 Jul).
The camera takes a tumble and only the sky is seen as the footage ends.
The accident happened about three miles from Heimahe Township in Gonghe County, Qinghai, China.
Remarkably, the streamer, identified as Yingying from Quanzhou, survived.
She was taken to hospital with minor injuries, including to her head, according to local media.
She was transferred to the inpatient department in a non-life-threatening condition.
Yingying was livestreaming her hike along the scenic Qinghai Lake tourist route to her 64,000 subscribers.
She had covered about 5 km of her 23 km (14 mi) day trek when she was hit, as reported on Need To Know.
The police are investigating the accident and have reportedly questioned the driver who hit her.
