A lucky driver got out of his car just seconds before a wayward bus crushed it like a tin can.
CCTV footage shows how the drama unfolded on Wednesday (26 Jun) afternoon.
The driver had parked his car – wrongly – on the pavement as he went to a health facility to pick up medicine for his wife.

The footage shows him getting out of the vehicle and walking into the care centre.
Meanwhile, a bus can be seen stopping to pick up passengers some yards down the road.
Then, the large vehicle starts moving, hits the car from behind, and crushes it against a utility pole just 30 seconds later.
The small vehicle was completely destroyed, as reported on Need To Know.
Luckily, the man’s wife wasn’t in the car at the time.
And no passengers on the bus were injured.
It’s believed the bus driver lost control after suddenly taking ill.
His current condition is unclear.
The police in São Paulo, Brazil, said in a statement: “It was determined that the bus driver lost control of the vehicle after suffering a sudden illness, causing the collision.
“There were no injuries, and the parties were advised to file a police report with the Civil Police, which has not yet been done.”
