In the dramatic footage, a train slammed into a flatbed lorry as it was crossing train tracks in the Mediterranean port city of Mersin on Feb 25.

Propelled sideways, the lorry then swept over Cem Tokac, who was standing beside the tracks.

But while the footage, released on Wednesday by Dogan news agency, showed Mr Tokac after the accident, lying motionless on the ground, incredibly the 32-year-old suffered only minor injuries.

"I can't remember anything about the accident," Mr Tokac said. "I thought I was asleep. But when I woke up, I was not in my bed. I was on the ground."

Mr Tokac, who plans to marry in April, said Feb 25 is his new birthday.

"Life is really beautiful," he said. (Telegraph)
