A 66-year-old Brooklyn man is thanking his lucky stars for being alive after a crazed U-Haul truck driver almost ran him over during a violent rampage
Security video of captured the incident and the action-hero-like maneuver Abdelmagid made to get out of harms way. He can't believe he was spry enough to evade death in that instant.
As he dove across the sidewalk to avoid being killed by the truck, Abdelmagid fell on the sidewalk, the vehicle passing so close that he said it clipped his foot as he dove. He fractured ribs, left wrist, right ankle and foot — but grateful and amazed he is alive. Police said the driver, 62-year-old Weng Sor, ran over seven others, killing 44-year-old father Yije Ye in the span of an hour. Another man was hospitalized and said to be in critical condition with bleeding on the brain.
