Courage and self-confidence can turn any dire situation around, and one man’s astonishing composure during a near-fatal accident proves it. Captured on a traffic camera in India, his reaction after the mishap has not only raised concerns about road safety but also left the internet impressed.
The footage shows a busy one-way road where everything appears routine until a scooter rider suddenly enters the frame. While attempting to switch lanes, he crashes into the road divider, which propels his scooter into the adjacent lane due to an unexpected elevation.
A pickup truck traveling in the opposite direction narrowly avoided a more severe accident as the man landed directly on its bonnet. Quick reflexes from the truck driver, who hit the brakes just in time, prevented serious injuries.
Unfazed by the accident, the scooter rider quickly got back on his feet, leaving onlookers stunned. Without addressing the crowd, he immediately began directing traffic to restore order before turning his attention to his scooter, which was now under the front wheels of the pickup truck.
