Inches away from being crushed to death by a truck, a woman instead emerged unharmed after being run over.
A surveillance camera positioned at an intersection captured footage of the entire incident, which took place Friday in Nagpur, a city in central India.
The woman weaves in front of the truck, which methodically plows into her and never slows down as she and her scooter topple over and fall under its left tire.
Her bike somehow winds up saving her life, pushing her just ahead of the tire and spinning her out of the way as the truck continues on. The woman, unnamed in numerous online reports, may have suffered a few scrapes and bruises, but immediately springs up after the incident and angrily gives chase to the truck that nearly took her life.
While we appreciate her feisty spirit, we’d advise others in a similar position to simply and safely get out of the intersection.

The vast majority of Americans — approximately 250 million — live in or around a city. That means most of you know how frustrating it can be to putter along traffic-choked roads and sit in endless delays.
And traffic doesn’t only cost time. Drivers lose money idling away their gasoline.
There are a number of studies that analyze exactly how much time and gas drivers fritter away. When you combine the two factors, and add in a look at overall population density, you can get a more complete, city-by-city look at the worst overall cities to operate a car.
The folks atNerdWallet.com did just that. Using data from a study done by the Texas Transportation Institute on the annual hours commuters spend in traffic delays, gas price data from 304 different urban areas compared to the national average and census information on population density to give the 50 largest metropolitan areas a final score.
The lower the overall score, the worse for the city’s drivers. Here’s a look at their 10 worst cities, and here’s hoping you’re not on the roads of these cities today:
