The CCTV footage filmed at a shop in Valparai in Southern India on September 11th shows the biker hurtling towards a head-on collision with a bus on the narrow Kumaran road.

The bus driver slams brakes and comes to a halt. But the biker continues towards the larger vehicle and then at the last moment swerves to his right averting a horrendous crash.

The bus driver slams brakes and comes to a halt. But the biker continues to speed and just swerves to his right at the last moment averting a crash.

A parked bike on the side of the road further restricted his space, but the sheer adrenaline of the man saw him through.

Eye witnesses said the bus driver, who was going to the new bus stand, took some time catch his breath while the biker rode on without stopping.

They said such mishaps were common as the road was slippery and narrow. They urged officials to erect speed breakers to make the road safer.
