Digger falls into pond, driver lucky to escape

Dramatic footage of a digger driver emerging from underwater safe and well after his construction vehicle fell into a pond and sank upside down.

The video, filmed in Guangdong Province, China on September 2, shows the 'excavator' struggling in the deeper-than-expected water, before it flips and begins sinking.

Fortunately, the driver managed to climb out of the window just in time.
