The clip shows Tapia being filmed by a man in the passenger seat as he drives along a road in New York.
He stops in the street before apparently being rammed in the rear by the truck.
Despite wearing his seatbelt in the video, Tapia said he was thrown from the vehicle due to the impact.
He took to social media the next day to reassure his fans that he wasn’t seriously injured in the accident.
He even travelled from the US to Spain to start the European leg of his latest tour.
