Death is an unpredictable and inevitable aspect of life. But escaping certain death is no less than a medical miracle. Undeniably, ailing patients getting saved by doctors are lucky. But escaping unhurt after a fatal accident is a blessing. We come across various such surprising incidents where people encounter 'death' very closely but survive unscathed.
Recently, a video surfaced on the internet that shows the miraculous escape of a scooter-borne youth even after his two-wheeler collided with a four-wheeler at a high speed and crashed.
The video, seeming to be CCTV footage, shows several vehicles passing on the road from both sides. The scooter-borne youth overtakes a four-wheeler on the narrow road. Suddenly, the black four-wheeler approaches from the other side of the road. The youth immediately applies brakes for which his scooter slips on the road. Luckily, the youth jumps off leaving his scooter, and the four-wheeler collides with the two-wheeler throwing it far away. Certainly, the scooter suffered severe damage, but the youth escaped certain death for his presence of mind.
