A man in the Philippines had a narrow escape after completely failing to notice a huge bus already driving in the lane he was trying to enter. The moment a bicyclist rode his bike right into a bus on a busy route was captured by a dash camera. The biker rode laterally into the bus and staggered as the larger vehicle sped away without stopping. It was evident that the bicyclist was not paying attention to where he was going. After colliding with the bus, he was caught on camera attempting to maintain his balance and avoid falling down.

Fortunately, he maintained his balance and avoided catastrophic injury. On Friday, the incident occurred in Quezon City, Philippines. The biker was cycling with a group of three to four other cyclists in a one-minute video released by ViralHog.

The anonymous biker was recorded looking the other way as he drove, while one of them gestured with his left hand before changing lanes. He only realized his mistake when he collided with the bus. The biker was seen in the footage stopping to pick something up off the road before continuing on his way, seemingly unharmed. The bus had stopped a short way ahead of him, but it is unclear if he and the driver had a conversation as he rode past, he and his cycle appearing none the worse for wear.
