Man in miracle escape after scaffold collapse

Dash cam footage has emerged from China of a man's incredibly fortunate escape after scaffolding collapsed.

The video, shot in Jianshi County in central Hubei Province on November 22, shows the scaffolding suddenly falling down as a man is crossing the road.

But the man darts forward, narrowly avoiding being buried.

Three less fortunate passersby suffered minor injuries and were sent to hospital, according to local reports.

Two people buried in the collapsed had to be rescued by emergency services. Their condition was not known.
