- Incredible footage shows a woman darting across several lanes of traffic
- The woman discerns it’s safe to pass the oncoming traffic, and passes a queue of cars waiting to turn
- What she does not appear to notice is the green light for cars passing in the final lane- with one car speeding through
- The woman sees the car just in time and leaps a bit out of the way while the car’s breaks screech
The heart-stopping moment a pedestrian tries to beat the light and jets across the street, missing being hit by an oncoming car by a split second, has been caught on camera.
The footage, caught by a car’s dash-camera just one car length behind the incident, shows the woman see a break in oncoming traffic and making a dash to cross the street.
What she doesn’t seem to notice is that beyond the cars waiting for the light to change in the turn lane, is a green light allowing passing vehicles to speed through the intersection.
The woman can be seen edging out into the intersection wearing a white shirt on the left hand side of the frame

The woman barely misses getting hit by a car after dashing across several lanes of traffic (circled in red)
Just as she gets passed the lane of oncoming traffic, and passes the queue of cars waiting to turn, she zips into the final lane, and a car comes careening towards her.
The pedestrian now sees the potentially fatally error in her rush. She seems to lunge forward, hopping out of the car’s way, and the car can be heard screeching on the breaks.
It is unclear where the video was taken, but it appears it was recorded on May 2.
One thing that is very clear, this woman is lucky to be alive.
