Pedestrian has lucky escape as lorry demolishes footbridge

In Turkey yesterday there was one very lucky pedestrian crossing a footbridge over a motorway.

A lorry was traveling along the motorway when the back suddenly raised into the air. The driver didn't realize in time and went ploughing into the bridge completely demolishing it.

It's amazing no one was hurt and no other vehicles were around to be showered in rubble. What's even more bizarre is the BBC video of the accident is only available on the CBBC website! Visit the link below to watch it and keep your eye on the pedestrian in the top left hand corner.
