Dramatic CCTV footage captured a man narrowly avoiding certain death, when he manages to outrun a truck that was about to hit him.

Police in the Turkish city of Adiyaman just released of the incident that happened in early December.

53-year old Bekir Ozcan was casually crossing the street at a redlight. Before he could get to the other side the light turned green. The truck Ozcan was walking past didn’t see him and starts moving forward, leaving Ozcan no other choice but to try and outrun it.

Pedestrians managed to get the truck drivers attention, who slowed down just as Ozcan managed to throw himself on the road according to Yahoo UK.

Lucky to be alive, Ozcan’s got one hell of a story to tell to his grandkids.
