A video has emerged of the moment a teenage boy playing 'chicken' was hit by a 40-ton truck.
The 14-year-old set off a fraction of a second behind his friend in a bid to run across the road before the vehicle reached them.
A dashboard camera captured the scene as it caught up with youngster and knocked him to the ground.
He is seen disappearing before rolling over several times in the road.
Amazingly the boy survived, limping off with just a badly-bruised ankle.
The collision happened on a country road on the A449 near Penkridge in Staffordshire.
The footage showed that the truck was travelling at 45mph - within the 60mph speed limit.
The truck driver immediately alerted police but was told no action would be taken as he was not to blame.
The maker of the vehicle video recorder, Smartwitness, said it had released the footage in order to make youngsters aware of the dangers of playing near traffic.
A spokesman for Staffordshire Police said: "We received a call at 1pm on 26 October 2014, reporting a collision involving an HGV and a pedestrian on the A449 at Dunston.
"Officers attended the scene. A 14-year-old boy was taken to New Cross Hospital with minor injuries to his hand and knee.
"The incident was looked into and no further action was taken against any parties.
"We would advise people to exercise caution when crossing any road and if at all possible use a pedestrian crossing.
"If one is not available please cross only when it is safe to do so."
