A lucky cyclist was seconds from being killed when a car rammed into a minivan flipping it over just a few feet from him.

The man was riding along a busy road in Manila, the Philippines, when the crash happened at a junction on September 19.

CCTV footage shows the rider casually pedaling a bike while behind him a white car emerges from an intersection and rams a minivan before falling on its side.

He looks over his shoulder before continuing on his journey - with fate clearly on his side.

Local government official Michael Zarate said he was working at the office in Manila City when they heard a loud crash outside.

It all happened behind the cyclist who passed by the area after shopping for food in the nearby market.

Village officer Zarate said: "We usually get these accidents here so we had put up a sign on the road to slow down."

No one was seriously injured in the incident and both drivers were only slightly bruised.

Zarate added that the incident has already been reported to the local police who started the investigations.
