This is the shocking moment a customer dodges a truck hurtling toward her in India.

CCTV footage shows a shopper paying at the grocery store counter and moving to her right when she noticed a speeding lorry coming directly toward her.

She quickly moved back to her left just in time as the vehicle rammed into a nearby Xerox shop, missing her by mere inches.

Locals rushed to the scene, checking for any injuries resulting from the incident in Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, on December 31, around noon.

Authorities confirmed that Venkata Ramana, 58, an employee of Visakha Steel Plant, was killed in the crash. She cannot be seen in the CCTV footage.

An initial investigation suggests brake failure, but police are actively continuing their investigation into the incident.

India has one of the highest rates of road accidents in the world, with thousands of fatalities and injuries reported each year.

The poor track record is blamed on unsafe road conditions, reckless driving, inadequate enforcement of traffic laws, and a lack of awareness about road safety.
