If this pedestrian, we’re guessing he’s from Russia, was a split second late or half a step back on the zebra crossing, he would have met his maker or someone would be making long-term plans for his stay in a hospital in his behalf as we speak.

And it wasn’t even his fault, unless you…fault pedestrians for trying to use the crosswalk. The people who are to blame are the driver in the dashboard-camera equipped vehicle and the person behind the wheel of the Lada Niva 4×4 for not keeping an eye open on the road and failing to slow down.

While the former was able to stop his or her car just before the zebra crossing, the other driver locked the Niva’s wheels and slid towards the pedestrian hitting one of the spare wheels in his hands, but missing the man for tenths of an inch.

Pretty amazing if you ask us.
