Thanks to the sudden stop, the driver behind was alerted in time and managed to pass the stationary car at a safe distance.
The near-miss happened in Fuengirola, on Spain’s Costa del Sol, yesterday (23 Dec), as reported by Need To Know.
One of the drivers said: “At 6:30, near Higuerón heading towards Málaga, there was a car stopped in the middle of the road with no hazard lights, warning triangles, or anything – in the middle lane.
“I saw the car in front suddenly swerve to avoid it, and I only missed hitting it by sheer luck.
“Looking in the rear‑view mirror, the cars behind also managed to avoid it by a miracle – though it’s likely someone ended up crashing into it.”
Fortunately, no crashes on that stretch of the Autovía A-7 have been reported.
The driver added: “I don’t know what happened, but personally, I could have been killed if it hadn’t been for the car in front.”
Spanish drivers are required to have a V16 warning beacon inside their vehicle.
Estefanía pointed out: “They had the beacon on, but it wasn’t visible.”
Jhony said: “I’ll never understand why they don’t put lights on that stretch.”
And J. Martin quipped: “When you see God face to face.”
