A cyclist had a lucky escape when he inadvertently slipped into the path of an oncoming HGV in a tunnel in Norway on July 14.<br /><br />Fortunately, the HGV driver, who says he was going at around "70-80kmh", was alive to the danger and was able to break and no harm was done.<br /><br />Dashcam video captured the near miss in the Horten Tunnel, southeast Norway, and shows the cyclist even bowing in gratitude to the HGV driver for averting catastrophe.<br /><br />The filmer told Newsflare: "There was a 'no bicycle and pedestrian' sign. [The] bicycle hit the barrier and fell onto the road. I noticed him later than on the camera, as the camera is in the middle of the windscreen."
