This horrific yet easily avoidable incident occurred last month in Essex, though thankfully nobody was seriously injured, despite one of the cars hitting a group of pedestrians.
The video, seemingly captured via a home security camera in a residential area, shows a white Vauxhall Corsa gently impacting a Toyota Yaris, sending the Japanese supermini skidding towards a group of people on the sidewalk.
Making matters worse, the Yaris hit not just a woman, but also a small child and a stroller, which makes for a truly gruesome image.
This type of incident just goes to show how it doesn’t even take a severe impact to cause what could be a potentially fatal accident. Lacking awareness behind the wheel in an area where there are a lot of children is a recipe for disaster, and unfortunately, there’s not much pedestrians can do to protect themselves – these types of accidents can happen very quickly.
