How about we show you a great save instead of an accident from Russia for a change? However, to be completely fair, props for the avoidance of the crash should be given to both the driver for his quick reaction and the Volvo truck’s brakes and safety-systems, which worked so well that, this scene could easily become the poster boy for the Swedish brand.
The driver of the Matiz poked the car’s nose a little too far into the highway between Novorossiysk and Krasnodar in Russia, without paying attention to the oncoming traffic – fortunately for the driver, the trucker had his eyes on the road.
It looks like the Volvo truck may have scraped or touched the hatchback’s bumper, but it was nothing serious.
