Photos of a man who took a selfie before surviving a bus accident in Zambia have been circulating online.

The unnamed man reportedly took the pre-accident selfie when the luxurious long passenger bus stopped at a point in their journey to enable the passengers ease themselves.

The post-accident selfie was however taken after he and other trapped passengers got rescued from the vehicle which fell into a deep gutter and overturned.

The near fatal accident is reported to have occurred moments after the bus continued the journey after the passengers had eased themselves.

One cannot say the man had foreknowledge of the accident, but the pre and post-accident photos make the entire development unbelievably coincidental.
