A man had an incredibly lucky escape recently in India when he crashed into a bus but avoided being crushed by the smallest of margins.

His scooter went under the vehicle and was run over but the man, who was flung to one side, escaped being crushed a few inches.

The incident took place in Vitla, South India.

An eyewitness Suresh Naik said: “The man was lucky to survive. He even tried to pick a fight with the van driver blaming him for the accident.”

A man escaped miraculous without a scratch after he crashed into a bus.

His scooter went under the bus and was crushed. But the man who was flung aside escaped coming under the tyres by a few inches.

The incident took place in Vitla, South India.

A CCTV footage of the video shows the man driving his scooter rashly on a narrow road. He overtakes a van and runs into a bus coming from the opposite direction.

While the bus snatches the scooter and drags it away, the man falls on the road. He is in a daze, sits up, then stands and walks away.

The scooter was, however, crushed beyond repair.

An eyewitness Suresh Naik said: “The man was lucky to survive. He even tried to pick up a fight with the van driver blaming him for the accident.”
