This shocking footage shows a lucky motorist escaping a massive boulder by an inch the moment it came crashing down from the mountainside as he drove by.
Frightening dash-cam footage filmed from the car travelling right behind shows the red SUV travelling along a rainy road in Shennongjia, in central China’s Hubei Province at around 9:00am on 2nd October.
Suddenly, a huge rock comes tumbling down the mountain and misses the vehicle by a scratch as its driver quickly steers to the right and dodges it.
The driver then comes to an immediate stop apparently to compose themselves after avoiding the falling rocks that punched a hole through the asphalt.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, but the incident has raised concerns about public safety after the clip reached Douyin, China’s version of TikTok.
