In the 22-seconds video clip, a man dressed in a white shirt and black mundu can be seen walking on the side of a road. As the video moves further, one can see a speeding vehicle approaching him. However, the vehicle deviates towards the left and zooms past him brushing against the tree branches.
Lucky? No. That driver saved his life just in time. He was walking on the road.

Moreover, the lanes are too short in width for a 2 way highway traffic
Do the right thing when walking on Indian roads: Walk on the right side so you can see oncoming traffic.

that driver crossed his vehicle by pole and man and then got back on road without hitting tree ....
