This is the dramatic moment a huge truck drove into a group of spectators, running over a photographer in Russia. 

The lorry had been competing in the Zoloto Kagana rally in south-western Russia's Astrakhan Oblast region when the driver suddenly lost control of the vehicle.

Video coverage shows it hurtling towards a group of spectators who frantically try to get out of its way as it careers over sand dunes. Photographer in Lucknow
