The pedestrian was narrowly missed by two vehicles in Abington Street on September 29 last year when Harrison York was driving - in the company of his partner, Nikki and his three-month-old daughter, Maisie - into town to do some shopping.

The video shows a double-decker bus coming to a halt before Harrison's car pulls up beside it, just before a man flies out onto the road and leaving unscathed.

Harrison's friend, Matthew Fishlock, sent in the video to the Chronicle & Echo. He said: "He was shocked and glad he didn't run him over. His reactions were impressive."

Matthew says this incident should be a sign for drivers to be more aware of their surroundings and speed limits.
