The Bill actor Scott Maslen was nearly hit by a lorry during filming last week.
Prior to the near-miss, Scott - who currently plays DS Phil Hunter in the ITV police drama - was shooting a scene in which he had to quickly park a car and then run off.
However, an unscripted lorry came hurtling toward the car and clipped the driver's door where the 36-year-old actor was standing only moments before.
A Sun Hill source told The Sun: "Scott could have been a goner. He's a very lucky chap."
Earlier this month, EastEnders bosses successfully poached (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/a65634/the-bill-star-jumps-ship-to-eastenders.html) Scott from The Bill to play Max Branning's (Jake Wood) brother, Jack, in the Walford soap.
