An elderly cyclist luckily survived being run over by a truck in southern China.
In CCTV video of the scene, filmed in the city of Beihai in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on October 26, a truck knocked down a 78-year-old cyclist after it turned a corner.
The cyclist then went under the bottom of the truck as it drove over him.
According to the truck driver Yang, since the cyclist was in the truck's blind spot, Yang did not see the old man.
After Yang realised what had happened, he helped carry the old man to the side of the road. He then sent the old man to hospital and called the police.
The old man suffered fractures to his toes and ribs and was hospitalised.
Yang paid the medical costs for the old man's treatment and also hired a nurse to take care of him.
