This is the moment a woman cheats death after falling onto the road as a bus drives past and misses her head by inches after she apparently moves it at the last second.

The incident took place in the western Russian city of Azov in the Rostov Oblast region.

In the footage, the woman can be seen walking along the side of the road before stumbling just as the bus drives past.

She falls outwards and ends up landing flat on her back with her head almost under the bus, inches from the wheel as the vehicle rushes by. But she moves her head out of the way at the last second.

Following her lucky escape, the apparently unharmed woman can then be seen trying to come to her senses as the car behind stops in order to allow her time to stand up.

Meanwhile, another woman can be seen coming to her aid

The clip grabbed attention when it was shared widely on social media.

According to local media, the lucky woman suffered a dizzy spell after becoming unwell as she walked in the area, which is reportedly located close to a bus station.

The woman’s identity remains unknown and it is unclear whether she attended a hospital or suffered any damage to her health following the incident.
