Heart-stopping footage shows boy nearly being run over on dual carriageway
This is the heart-stopping moment a young boy came within inches of being run over and killed after he pulled out in front of a car on his bicycle on a busy main road.
Shocking dashcam footage captured the terrifying near miss, which took place when the young cyclist swerved in front of motorist Robert Allen.
Mr Allen, who is the Group Commander for Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, had been driving along the A38 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, on Sunday.
I wasn't sure whether to post this but if it stops a child from being killed on the road it's worth it! Today a child rode out in front of me, across the dual track, without looking! Thankful I was driving under the speed limit & reacted quickly! #neverchanceit@BromStandardpic.twitter.com/NuDgFqcdDj

Cheers Kyle, I saw the first kids so dropped back by 5mph to 49mph (it's a 60), if I hadn't I'd have hit I'm! He came straight out from behind the wall to the left. I've seen drivers on phones and doing way over speed limit through there, just imagine...
