The terrifying moment a 20 tonne truck lost control and barrelled down a driveway, forcing a young woman to dive out of the way, has been caught on CCTV footage.

Tess Ulvesund, 31, was carrying groceries to her brand new Jeep in Bondi last Thursday when she saw the enormous truck heading straight for her down a steep driveway.

She managed to dive out of the way just in time as it smashed into her car.

'The truck came rolling down and I could see a closing gap so I jumped between the truck and the wall,' Ms Ulvesund told Nine News.

'I don't think I realised how close it was until I saw the footage afterwards, and you just feel really lucky to be alive.'

Her work colleague Ben Beirrman who was standing by the store, saw the vehicle heading down the driveway and got Ms Ulvesund's attention just in time.

She has said it was a lucky escape, but she is glad it was her and not an elderly person or young child
