This is the moment a mechanic is almost flattened by the truck he is working under when it suddenly lurches forwards.
CCTV footage of the drama shows the mechanic lying on his back under the red truck with the vehicle’s owner looking down into its open bonnet.
Suddenly, the vehicle shoots forward as if it has been accidentally started up.
Mechanic Ersin Ozenli is only saved because he manages to quickly shuffle his legs forwards from underneath the truck, appropriately enough a Dodge.
Then the owner leaps into the cabin to pull on the handbrake at the garage in Arnavutkoy, near Istanbul, in Turkey.
The truck then comes to a juddering halt as the footage ends.
The incident took place on 6th July, with the images only surfacing in Turkish media last week.
The truck had been left in gear and when the mechanic worked on the ignition the engine started up it raced forwards, according to local media.
Ozenli explained: “The vehicle started suddenly, the handbrake was off and the vehicle was in gear.
“I acted early, grabbed the bumper, and there was no injury.”
Ozenli, who said that he had been a mechanic for 27 years, said it was the first time that he had been in such a situation.
