According to the uploader, the incident took place in Chavara, which is located in Kerala's Kollam district.

The video was rightly captioned: ¡°Luckiest man of the month the award goes to this man."

While some said the pedestrian was at fault, others blamed the speeding truck driver.

One user said, "Lucky? No. That driver saved his life just in time. He was walking on the road." The driver was definitely way over any speed limit. People like you defending road rage culprits is the reason more people die in road accidents in India'.

¡°And after seeing the truck bump over that hole, he thought everything was his mistake and kept looking for his mistake by turning everywhere, but didn't find any,¡± commented yet another user.

The vehicle lurches to avoid hitting the man, who is seen looking confused for a few seconds before turning back and walking in the opposite direction, probably realising that he just had a narrow escape.
