A biker narrowly avoided a herd of wild boars while riding at night.
Dashcam footage shows the near-miss unfolding on a narrow, unlit stretch of road.
It was pitch black when the sounder darted across the tarmac in single file.

The last pig got out of the way just in time, avoiding a collision by a split second.
Fortunately, the biker stayed calm and continued without losing control.
The close call occurred on the road from the Costa del Sol Hippodrome to La Cala de Mijas, on Spain’s Costa del Sol last Tuesday (4 Nov), as reported by Need To Know.
Local woman Lourdes said: “It’s a wild boar area – you should go slowly and with caution.”
Charo added: “Where are the streetlights, damn it?
“The town hall doesn’t have money to install them, and these people speeding along could run over people.
“Have a bit of humanity for the poor animals.”
Araceli shared: “A few days ago, my daughter had to swerve – two wild boars in the middle of the highway at 9pm.”
Mari commented: “I don’t want anything to happen to anyone, but poor animals – they’re forced to leave their comfort zone due to a lack of food.
“And that, without a doubt, is the humans’ fault, as we’re the ones invading them.”
Regional authorities estimate around 22,000 wild boars roam Málaga province.
Experts say their overpopulation is driven by a lack of natural predators, rapid breeding, and insufficient hunting.
