A teenager miraculously survived being run over by a lorry.
CCTV footage shows how the truck turns into the road just as two lads on a bicycle are passing.
The lorry driver fails to spot the pair and forces them into a dip at the edge of the tarmac.

The bike topples and the lads fall onto the road in the lorry’s path.
One is immediately run over by the heavy vehicle’s front wheel.
His head is knocked by one of the back wheels, but he avoids being run over a second time by a whisker.
The lorry driver stops briefly but then drives off.
The uninjured lad picks his pal up, but the latter drops to the ground again in pain as others run over to help.
Remarkably, the 15-year-old survived, albeit with a fractured pelvis.
He was taken to hospital in Marabá, south east of Manaus, Brazil, on Wednesday (3 Jul).
He underwent surgery and was last reported to be stable, as reported on Need To Know.
According to the police, the driver of the loaded tipper lorry turned himself in to the police.
He was given a breathalyser test, which showed that he wasn’t over the drink drive limit.
He was released on bail after giving a statement.
He is now being investigated for traffic-related bodily harm.
