The video of a man who had come very close to experiencing death in Kerala's Kollam district was caught on a CCTV camera in the locality. The footage, which surfaced online a few days ago, has since gone viral.

A man wearing a mask is seen walking by the side of a road when a speeding truck running in the same direction as the man almost runs into him and swerves across his path in what seemed to be less than a second. Even the man initially looked oblivious to the incident even as the truck zoomed past him. Awareness dawns on him as soon as the truck hits a pole and speeds by. The viral video was later shared by several users across social media. People were also seen debating on whether it was the man's fault or the driver's fault. "He was walking on the road. The van driver did an excellent job saving him. This is a major nuisance on Indian roads as people have no traffic sense at all!" one of the users said.

Meanwhile, another user mentioned, "In this pic it clearly shows that pedestrian is walking in his way, and the Van has enough space in right side to cross even though there is a vehicle opposite side."

He also did not know what exactly happened....?????????????????? pic.twitter.com/FnGYpOFcG2
