Cyclist cheats death three times in dramatic car crash

A Russian cyclist was nearly killed three times in a matter of seconds but somehow found himself safely in the eye of a high-speed car crash.

Surveillance video shows the rider nearly splattered by a truck, a speeding red Mazda and a flying bumper bar on a pedestrian crossing in Lyubertsy, Moscow, last Friday.

As the two vehicles collide, the truck starts rolling over and the car dramatically spins out of control with pieces flying off it.

The cyclist cowers as both vehicles speed towards him but the deadly impact never comes.

He is only clipped by the truck on the way through, emerging unscathed from the mayhem.

After a brief pause on the crossing, the cyclist gets up to help the truck driver.
