This screen grab from footage released on December 22, 2015 shows a TOW missile flying towards a pickup truck whose driver dodges the incoming missile.

Watch footage of a gutsy driver escape being blown to smithereens by pulling off a last second evasive maneuver before a guided missile, locked onto his truck, explodes.

In the footage, published by the Daily Mail on Tuesday, the driver shows an impressive amount of calm before moving out of the way of the incoming TOW missile, which is thought to be fired by a Daesh terrorist positioned on a nearby hill in Syria.

If the driver, believed to be a Hezbollah fighter, had moved too soon the missile would have simply checked its course and turned back toward the vehicle.
