Speeding bus narrowly misses commuter (Video)
A Russian commuter had a close shave with death yesterday, when a speeding bus narrowly missed him as he crossed the road.
The man had been crossing at a set of traffic lights in the city of Perm when the Number 67 bus ploughed through
the traffic towards him.
Because the brakes had failed on the bus the driver had been unable to slow it as it rolled downhill for five blocks, smashing more then 20 cars as it went.
It also meant he was helpless to do anything when he saw the man crossing the road. But as this CCTV footage shows the pedestrian was one cool customer and simply speeds up to narrowly avoid the speeding bus.
We can't help but think if that had been us fidling with our iPhone on the way to work we'd be typing this from a hospital bed.
