This is the terrifying moment a truck driver pulling out of a petrol station in Russia crushed another customer.

CCTV footage captured in Abakan on February 23 shows the truck starting to pull away after refuelling.

A customer at the pump spots the long vehicle is coming very close to his car and stands between the two vehicles attempting to alert the trucker to the danger.

As the larger vehicle's trailer swings around, it traps the man against the side of his own car and crushes him for several seconds.

According to reports, a 45-year-old resident of Bashkortostan seriously damaged one hip but avoided life-threatening injuries.

Two cars refueled near different columns. Then the truck started moving out. The man, fearing that the semi-trailer would hit his car, stood between the turning truck and his Lada. He knocked on the semi-trailer, hoping that the driver would notice him and stop, but this did not happen. The truck continued to turn around, the man did not have time to get out and began to press him into the car with force. The truck not only pushed him into the Lada, but also dragged him a couple of meters along with the car.
After the truck drove off, the man fell to his haunches, then tried to get up and take a couple of steps, but he didn’t really succeed.
A 45-year-old resident of Bashkortostan received a serious contusion of the hip joint, fortunately, more serious injuries were avoided.
