Watch: Out-of-control truck speeds across 7 highway lanes unscathed

2021-09-27 00:00:00

A woman with a young child in Australia lost control of her white truck, speeding across seven lanes — five of busy traffic and two that were thankfully empty. And somehow she made it to the other side without a scratch — until, that is, she crashed into a building.

According to Reuters, the incredibly lucky driver had "failed to negotiate a turn" before it plowed into a business along a row of storefronts. Fortunately the woman and child suffered only minor injuries.
