A real life James Bond! Quick-thinking lorry driver jumps to safety from the window of his vehicle as it tumbles down the side of a mountain *** Like a scene straight out of a James Bond or Jason Bourne film, a lorry driver was seen leaping from his vehicle the very moment it tumbled down a mountainside. The man was driving up a rural road in China when part of the route collapsed under the weight of the overloaded lorry. And as CCTV footage of the incident showed, the man took a leap of faith in the nick of time. The short clip showed the vehicle on the country road with several bystanders looking on. The lorry's left rear tire apparently became stuck in the ground and the vehicle began to teeter dangerously towards the steep mountain precipice below. But the resourceful man must have understood his impending doom as he vaulted into the passenger seat. He then jumped out through the window before the lorry fell down the mountain. As he landed on stable ground, the lorry overturned and landed in a swath of trees. The driver appeared shaken by the impact of his landing but otherwise seemed unharmed. The dramatic footage was uploaded to Chinese video-sharing app Miaopai and was later picked up by LiveLeak, where it's had over 43,000 views since December 4. | Daily Mail Online
