Dog-walker’s head in near miss with lorry as she ducks out the way at last second

A DOG-WALKER had a lucky escape when she narrowly avoided being decapitated by a reversing lorry.

She casually ducked out of the way in the shocking footage of the near-miss on a busy high street.

Eyewitnesses are seen recoiling in horror as the woman escapes being mowed down by the 20-tonne truck as it swings freely across the pavement when turning a corner.

However, the woman does not seem phased by the near-death experience as she nonchalantly steps out the way and chats to shoppers.

The heart-stopping incident was caught on camera by businessman Anthony Hamilton-Clarke in Brownhills, West Midlands, on June 3.

He posted the video on Facebook which then triggered it to be shared more than 600 times on his firm’s Facebook page.

The 43-year-old who runs car accessories business Auto Elite, in Shenstone, Staffs, said: “It was so dangerous - you shouldn't be able to do that.

"The back of the lorry passed right by her head. It was horrific.”

The footage has prompted calls from customers and social media users hunt down the lorry driver.

Mr Hamilton-Clarke said: "We haven't found anyone yet but the video has had a lot of attention.

"I caught the moment on a dashboard camera that I was testing out at the time, which was quite fortunate.

"I do think the driver needs to be found, it was incredibly dangerous what happened.

"The woman was really, really lucky. It is incredible really.

"She stayed so cool though and just starts chatting to people nearby.

"I don't think she realised how close she came to being killed."

The clip was shared by the boss yesterday with the message: "This lady almost gets her head smashed in on Brownhills High Street.

"If anyone would like to take this further and prevent this happening again feel free to do so.

"The next person may not be so lucky."
