We've said it once, we'll say it again; Russian sidewalks can be an extremely dangerous place to be during winter time. How do we know? Well, as with anything else that has to do with Russia, automobiles and roads, through the widespread use of dash-cams that tell the world about accidents such as the one featured in this clip.
A group of seven people, including a young kid holding his mother's (?) hand was waiting behind a pedestrian crossing for the light to go green.
The driver of the car with the video recorder foolishly tried to outrun an orange light and turn around a corner when another vehicle appeared pushing it towards the pedestrians, but luckily missing them by inches. In fact, the driver was two times fortunate as the snow minimized the impact.

It doesn't at all look like he tried to "turn around the corner", as the desription says, he quite obviously just swerved in an attempt to avoid crashing into the car coming from the right and which most certainly had red light in the intersection unless the signal was broken.
Not sure about russia or wherever this is from, but in some countries it's legal to keep driving when the light is yellow.
This was totally the fault of the driver coming from the right.
