Lamppost Saves Group From Being Hit By Car


Oct 15th 2011, 04:10

Quote
A group of pedestrians have narrowly avoided serious injury after a car ploughed straight into them in central Manchester.

CCTV footage from the scene shows the pedestrians talking to someone in a blue Ford Focus.

The car then drives a short way up the road, before doing a u-turn and speeding straight into the group.

They were only saved by the car hitting a lamppost - causing considerable damage to its front end.

Did you see the activities of the group members as the car drives to do the u turn. Too bad he missed, if you ask me.  :disapp:

  • Kolpino is the capital of Russia (founded in 1722)
I see the situation may be worser somewhere apart from Russia.
Has a driver been detained?
Has he explained this act of rage towards the pedestrians?
