Two mates narrowly avoid roadside tragedy, oncoming truck

Two mates are tonight thankful they're alive after making an incredible dash from danger by jumping out of the way of a truck driving straight towards them. 
Kingsley Azubuike and Uzo Mokogwu were fixing a flat tyre on the side of a busy Adelaide road when they noticed the truck ploughing towards them.
"He's my guardian angel, and I'm grateful to have him as a friend," Azubuike said. (Nine)
Mokogwu spotted the truck approaching and shouted "jump," prompting both of them to leap out of the way just in time. 
The truck collided with their car, causing it to slam into another vehicle and flip onto its side.
"He's my guardian angel, and I'm grateful to have him as a friend," Azubuike said.
"I was lucky to see the truck on time because if I hadn't seen the truck both of us would be toast by now," Mokogwu said.
The truck driver, who sustained minor injuries, was treated at the scene before being taken to the Lyell McEwin Hospital.
"I went to see the truck driver after some time… tried to talk to him and he was just looking down looking quite dumbfounded," Mokogwu said.
