Scary Moment: Speeding Lorry Misses Schoolchildren, Warning to Parents!

In a heart-stopping moment caught on camera, a lorry driver's quick reflexes saved a young boy from what could have been a fatal accident.

The incident highlights the often-overlooked dangers schoolchildren face while crossing the road.

When school buses stop to let children off, it’s common for them to rush across the street without considering the vehicles still in motion. This reckless action can lead to deadly consequences, as this near-miss demonstrates.

 

In the video, a school bus pulls over, and two children disembark. Without checking for traffic, they sprint across the road. One child quickly realises the danger and halts, but the other continues running into the path of an oncoming truck.

With only seconds to act, the lorry driver’s swift decision to slam on the brakes prevents what would have been a tragic collision. The truck comes to a stop just inches from the boy, whose life was spared by the driver's alertness and presence of mind.

This terrifying incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety. Children must always be taught to cross roads cautiously and only when it's completely safe. Drivers, too, should remain vigilant, especially in areas near schools and buses. Staying alert can make the difference between life and death.
