This is the dramatic moment a motorist narrowly escapes death as two massive boulders come rolling down from the mountainside the second they drove past.
The near miss was captured on another driver’s dash camera while travelling behind on a road in Guangyuan, in China’s south-western Sichuan Province, on the afternoon of 29th October.
The nine-second video shows a grey vehicle travelling along the side of Guangyuan Mountain amid dry and sunny weather.
Suddenly, its path is cut off by a giant rolling rock that came tumbling down from the left side and seemingly out of nowhere.
As the driver luckily managed to step on the brakes on time, a second and even larger boulder slammed down on the road just inches behind the car which ended up getting sandwiched between the rockfall.
Incredibly, the vehicle got away seemingly without a scratch as the boulders bounced off the asphalt and continued rolling downhill.
No injuries have been reported during the incident.
The footage, shared later on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, attracted widespread attention as many netizens praised the driver’s sheer luck.
One user titled ‘summer Wind’ commented: “If this were me, I would’ve bowed down afterwards and thanked God for blessing me. If I had survived this kind of catastrophe, I’d think I would be blessed with good fortune in the future.”
User ‘2D horse’ wrote: “Several people have died in this place in the past few years, and it was the same situation.”
And user ‘Qianxing’ said: “Mountainous areas are always high risk.”
