‘Skills or luck’: Car’s narrow escape after being hit by a bus shocks netizens

CCTV footage that shows how a car averted a major accident after getting hit by a bus is going viral. The video shows a bus hitting a car from behind. The impact of this collision is such that the car plunges forward but then instead of crashing with other vehicles, the car gains control and makes a full U-shaped turn before coming to a standstill.

The car comes very close to crashing with other vehicles on the road but escapes without any collision. The fact that traffic on the opposite side of the road is still also helps in avoiding the crash.

A clip of this CCTV footage was shown in a news segment of Asianet News. As per the news reader, this incident took place at the Kazhchaparambu junction in Kerala’s Palakkad district and the passengers inside the car had a narrow escape.
