Polish police have released traffic camera footage which shows a cyclist catching a very lucky break.

In the video, which was captured on Friday in northeastern Poland, a cyclist can be seen traveling from the left side of the street to the right using a crosswalk. But just as the cyclist crosses the median, a Lexus plows through the red light.

As the Lexus runs the red light, a taxi enters the intersection on green and T-bones the car, pushing it out of the path of the cyclist and into a pole.

Fortunately, the cyclist made it out unscathed.
