This is the heart-stopping moment a man nearly escapes death after the crane he was driving collapsed during the demolition of a house.

The footage, captured in Navotas, Philippines, shows the crane tumbling down after demolishing the wall of a house.

A man walks out of the crane -seemingly unharmed- but stumbles on a rock and falls down.

A witness of the incident can be seen running towards the man and helping him to walk away from the scene of the accident.

The clip was filmed on March 10.

Our backhoe was rented for a demolition project in Navotas, Philippines. On March 10, 2018, the accident happened. During the operation, the wall of the old building fell off while the backhoe operator is breaking it. Unfortunately, the arm of the backhoe was stuck to the wall and that was the reason why the backhoe tumbled. The operator just had some minor bruises.
