Three friends narrowly avoid being crushed to death by falling wall in India

Three friends narrowly escaped being crushed to death after a four-metre wall crashed to the floor just inches away from them.

Dramatic CCTV footage shows the trio running for their lives when the huge wall crumbles as they walked down a road in western India.

Clouds of dust fill the air in the aftermath of the terrifying incident, which left a parked van badly damaged.

Witnesses claimed the wall was dilapidated before it collapsed and suggested it was fortunate nobody was injured due to its location along a usually busy street.
