CCTV footage from outside an English pub shows the moment a man was struck from behind by an out-of-control bus but was able to get up and walk into the bar.
Simon Smith, 53, was walking along Gun Street in Reading in Berkshire, southern England, on Saturday morning when the bus mounted the pavement before hitting him and throwing him along the sidewalk, narrowly missing a light pole.
The man lands in front of a pub and the impact shatters the bus’ windshield. But the man surprises everyone by standing up and walking into the pub like nothing ever happened.
A version posted on BBC South Today has 1.3 million views in a day.
The man escaped the serious crash with just minor bruises and reportedly went for a drink after a quick visit to the hospital.
“I think he [Simon] pretty much got up, brushed himself down and then an ambulance came and took him to be checked,” the co-owner of the pub Purple Turtle told The Sun.
The bus company told BBC the incident is under investigation.
