I was pushing the aircraft on [gate] X; my wing walker on the First Officer's side is signaling that the aircraft is being pushed. We are halfway across the VSR [Vehicle Service Road] when a third party worker in a pickup truck was speeding down the VSR and almost hits the side of the plane and the wing walker. The driver wasn't paying attention and slammed on the brakes skidding across the VSR almost hitting the plane. I stopped the push to prevent any further damage if said driver was to hit the plane.
Reporter advised of a vehicle almost hitting an aircraft that was pushing back.
