A woman has been filmed running for her life as a truck veers off a rain-soaked road and hits a pole only metres away from her.
The video shows the large truck career off the wet asphalt as it travelled along Warringah Road in Mona Vale, north of Sydney.
The driver can be seen losing control of the vehicle as it miraculously avoids hitting other cars on the road and hurtles towards pedestrians on the footpath.
A terrified female pedestrian can be seen darting away from the heavy truck as it eventually smashes into a light pole, sending sparks into the sky.
As the truck driver left the vehicle he appears to wave his arms in disbelief as he gestures towards other motorists who witnessed the crash.
'There was a lot of drivers yelling at him, saying "you could have killed us, you idiot",' witness Tamra Moore told 9NEWS
No one was injured in the crash which occurred during peak hour traffic on a rainy day in Sydney's northern beaches.
