Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Salute to the truck driver. This was very close,” a user said. “Close call. The kid did well to keep running and not freeze, both had a good reaction,” added another. “Miracles really exist, you just need to believe in them,” commented a third person.
“That's impressive, most cars would struggle to stop that fast,” commented a fourth user. “A Latvian logistics firm known as Kreiss investigated the near-accident in partnership with Volvo to determine what prevented the accident. They concluded that the driver's quick reaction was the reason the truck stopped so quickly,” added another.
