Somewhere in the Russian city of Orenburg lives a man who should feel extremely lucky and grateful to have walked away unscathed from a very violent accident that took place at a gas station last week.

It all began when a thoughtless driver of a dump truck attempted to turn into the petrol station at the same time that a bus full of passengers was coming from the other direction.

In the video footage shot from inside the bus, we see the crash as it happened with the two vehicles slamming into each other and then heading towards the gas station where our lucky protagonist was filling up his vehicle.

Amazingly, while the bus and the truck crashed into three more vehicles including, a van, a Toyota Corolla and a Ford Mondeo, the man who was caught in the middle of all this chaos, managed to avoid being hit.

Russian news sites reported that only one passenger from the bus was treated for some minor injuries.
