Shocking Near-Miss: Lorry Driver Saves Boy from Fatal Accident!
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.
This incident underscores the often-overlooked dangers schoolchildren face when crossing the road.
As school buses stop to drop children off, many rush across the street without noticing the moving vehicles. This reckless behaviour can have deadly consequences, as seen in this near-miss.

In the video, a school bus stops, and two children get off. They run across the road without checking for traffic. One child spots the danger and stops, but the other keeps running into the path of an oncoming truck.
With only seconds to react, the lorry driver slams the brakes, avoiding a tragic collision. The truck stops just inches from the boy, whose life was saved by the driver's quick thinking.
This shocking incident highlights the importance of road safety. Children must be taught to cross roads carefully and only when it’s safe. Drivers must stay alert, especially near schools and buses. Awareness can be the difference between life and death.
