Title: Brush with death: See lucky cyclist’s amazing escape
Post by: eye30 on September 26, 2014, 20:08:48

 Victor Avdeev, 18, was riding his bike across a zebra crossing at a junction in the city of Lyubertsy in western Russia's Moscow Oblast – carefully slowing down to let a blue dairy truck drive in front of him.

But before the truck had time to get across, a red sportscar sped out into the junction and smashed into the front of the lorry, sending the car's bumper flying just inches from Victor's face.

A split second later, the lorry, sent careering down the road by the speeding car, clipped the front of the bike and sent it spinning into the junction.
