Viral Video: It could have been a fatal accident, but quick thinking saved an auto-rickshaw driver’s life in seconds. A viral video making rounds on social media shows how the man jumped out of his vehicle just seconds before a massive hoarding came crashing down, crushing the auto completely. The clip shows a huge banner structure, reportedly of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), suddenly collapsing, allegedly because of heavy rains. The auto was moving straight in its path when the driver noticed the tilt.
Without wasting a moment, he slammed the brakes and rushed out. Within a heartbeat, the hoarder smashed into the vehicle. The escape was nothing short of a miracle. The driver missed death by a margin of mere inches. Another vehicle coming from the opposite side wasn’t as lucky; it too was trapped under the falling structure.
Interestingly, the video also captures onlookers who were already recording when the hoarding began to give way. They can be heard shouting, which alerted the driver and gave him just enough time to come out. While many online users are sharing the footage, the exact location hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. However, several posts claim the incident took place in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
