Sometimes you just have to see to believe how lucky people are. If it wasn’t for a nearby security camera recording the road, we sincerely doubt that anyone would buy the story that these three pedestrians from Belarus had to share after an unfortunate encounter with a van.

The footage shows the driver of a Citroen Berlingo taking a left turn on a green light when a black sedan suddenly appeared in the picture travelling at high speed.

At the time, the three pedestrians, including two women, were crossing the street. The black sedan hit the rear end of the French van sending it on a violent 360-degree spin towards them.

Miraculously, the van only brushed the two women before coming to a halt on the sidewalk! In fact, one of the woman only just missed being swooped into the loading area of the Berlingo! Even the driver of the Citroen didn’t seem to be hurt as we see him exiting the van and calmly walking away – we’d like to assume towards the other vehicle…
