Are there any real life instances of aircraft aborting a landing to avoid a vehicle?

I came across a video of an A380 closely avoiding a fuel truck. More details at Snopes including a link to the YouTube video.

While this video is not real, I'm interested in finding out if it's a realistic situation and if there are any real instances where accidents have been avoided because crew decided to take off again as a result of an unexpected intrusion on the runway as seen in the video.
