These two blokes were seriously lucky to walk away from this collision without any serious injuries…

It’s not often that you hear of a pedestrian knocking a motorcyclist off their bike – unless it’s in a fit of rage – but that’s exactly what happened in St. Petersburg, Russia, recently when a pedestrian tried crossing the road after the lights went green for traffic.

The biker, who was going at a fairly fast speed while travelling up the inside lane, obviously didn’t see the young man running across the road just as the lights turned green. The two collide and they both get flung to the floor, but thankfully, neither of them suffered any serious injuries.

Judging by the pedestrian’s reaction he was just glad to be alive.
