THIS is the chilling moment a cyclist narrowly cheats death as an out-of-control bus hurtles towards him before smashing into a gate.
Staggering footage shows the huge bus charging at the man – seconds before he dodges the hulking vehicle right in the nick of time.
In the jaw-dropping clip, the pedestrian can be seen walking alongside his bicycle and a pal riding a motorbike in India.
The pair appear completely unaware a speeding bus is about to dart right at them like something out of Final Destination.
Mere seconds later, the massive coach can be seen storming the parking lot the two men are in.
Knocking over a tree and smashing through part of a low wall as it rushes over the concrete, the bus careers towards the unsuspecting pair.

Luckily, the man closest to the vehicle takes a split second to react, before ditching his bike and stepping out of the way.
Moments later, the massive bus collides with a metal gate with a huge force.
Had it not been for the cyclist’s speedy reactions, he would almost certainly have been brutally crushed.
The stunning scenes were filmed outside the Mother Dairy outlet on the Etawah-Mainpuri road in the town of Etawah, in Uttar Pradesh.
Local media reported that some 40 passengers were on board at the time of the crash, with nearly a dozen suffering serious injuries.
The CCTV footage showed that the collision took place on Sunday.
It is unclear whether the man riding the motorbike was hit or not.
The bus – which may have hit the cyclist’s friend off-screen – came to a screeching halt as it blasted itself against the building.
Eyewitnesses said a car travelling in front of the bus suddenly applied its brakes shortly before the clip.
This prompted the bus driver to swerve quickly and smash into the wall.
Bystanders claimed the driver lost control while attempting to avoid the car, causing the coach to ram into the dairy shop.
Emergency services scrambled after being alerted to the scene of the smash.
Those injured were rushed to Saifai Medical University for treatment.
Authorities have seized the bus, and launched an investigation.
Preliminary findings reportedly point to negligence and overspeeding, according to local media.
