🚨 Security camera (CCTV) footage has recorded how a woman who tried to cross the road recklessly from a close proximity to the front blind spot of a private bus that was ready to resume driving after dropping off passengers on a suburban road, survived being run over by the bus. When the bus was about to drive forward, the driver's immediate observation and prompt braking (Prompt Braking) stopped the bus a few inches before hitting the woman's body. If the driver's attention was lost even for a moment, there was a full possibility of being hit by the front wheels of a heavy vehicle and causing an instant fatality. The woman's life was saved without any physical damage due to the careful vigilance of the driver. ​"Photographs of this accident are published to help create a society free from road accidents through safe driving." ​📷 Photo / Video Credit: Accident 1st Community Network

Jumping into the road so close to a stopped bus or lorry is a fatal offense tantamount to suicide. ​Never Cross In Front of or Behind Stopped Buses: By crossing the road in front of or behind a bus that has dropped off passengers, the pedestrian will not be seen by other cars or motorcycles speeding past the bus. Cross the road only after the bus has left the station or by using a designated pedestrian crossing (Zebra Crossing). ​Driver Situational Awareness & Mirror Checks: Drivers should check the front mirrors (cross-view mirrors) and the surroundings carefully every time they start driving from a bus stop or drop off passengers. The immediate response of the driver in this incident is commendable and always call 1990 Suvasaria Ambulance Service or 119 Police Emergency Department for pre-hospital care in case of an accident.
