A man in Russia is counting his lucky stars after narrowly escaping being struck by a bus at an intersection.

It was a busy hour in Russia when a man dressed in a business suit, carrying a suitcase, quickly treaded across an intersection to get to his destination.

As the man crosses the street, a bus misses its cue from the traffic light to stop. The result is a very close call for the man crossing the street.

The video is below.
