A dramatic video has emerged of a cyclist narrowly escaping being hit by a minibus.

The CCTV video, filmed earlier this month in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, shows the minibus tuning over towards a man on bike waiting to crossing the road.

As the minibus approaches, the cyclist ducks down and the vehicle narrowly avoids him.

No serious injuries were reported and a person can be seen crawling out of the crashed minibus.

Reports say the minibus driver was driving without a license and police is investigating.
