Three people miraculously escaped death last Friday, November 7, at 9:04 pm local time, when a bus nearly ran them over in the town of Ust Kut, Irkutsk, russia.

The incident occurred when the driver of this public transport vehicle attempted to avoid a collision with a car and lost control due to snowy road conditions.

The vehicle ended up mounting the sidewalk and knocking down a utility pole. Fortunately, pedestrians were able to react in time, and no one was injured.

Would have been a safer move rear-ending the car.

Reaction to avoid hitting something while driving is almost instinctual. You’re not really thinking so much as simply reacting.

Glad nobody was crushed to death.

I can't believe nobody was injured. I watched the video before I read the description & I was sure that at least one person was crushed.

Their lives went from very boring to very exciting very quickly.

What was a Pole doing in Russia?

That dog wasted no time getting the hell out of dodge!

Yes, or swerving the other way where there was less people.

True, but that means you are following too close, especially in snow, especially when driving a large vehicle.

Driver should have known better, but ... Russia.
