From Russia with luck... a LOT of luck: Cyclist's amazing escape after first a car smashes into truck just feet away from him before careering lorry misses him by inches
- The cyclist pauses at pedestrian crossing and watches a truck approach
- As he sets off a car comes from the left and collides with the truck
- The car then spins around and its boot narrowly misses his front wheel
- He then seems certain to have been struck by the truck which wobbles on
- But as it topples over, he comes back into view and gets up unhurt
This cyclist couldn't have been any luckier - not only did he avoid been hit by a car, he also narrowly missed being run over by a truck all at once.
As this video shows the cyclist was about to cross a pedestrian crossing in Russia as a small truck approached the intersection.
The truck then continues towards the crossing as the cyclist sets off somewhat cautiously, potentially unsure if the truck is going to stop.

The cyclist pauses in Russia as a truck and a car collide at an intersection, missing him by mare centimeters
The cyclist sets off across the pedestrian crossing as the truck, seen far left, approaches the intersection
The car then enters the intersection attempting to pass straight through, just as the truck nears the centreline
On impact the car spins anticlockwise and its boot narrowly misses striking the cyclist
Before the truck makes it to the crossing, a car comes into view from the left.
Then, as the cyclist nears the half-way point of the pedestrian crossing, the truck nudges the passenger side of the passing car. At that point the front of the car is almost parallel with the cyclist's front wheel.
The car then spins anticlockwise, losing its rear bumper, as its boot narrowly misses striking the cyclist.

The truck, which also lost its bumper in the collision, continues through the intersection, swaying to one side and almost rolling over as the cyclist becomes hidden from view.
Passing through the intersection, it finally topples over. The cyclist then comes into view on the pedestrian crossing, in the exact spot he was at before the crash happened.
