There are many surprises one can experience while driving their vehicle on the road – from pleasant ones, such as stumbling upon rare exotic examples from the automobile world or beautiful scenery and people, to nasty ones like an accident.

For this poor motorist, the surprise came in the form of another car that lost control (or was hit, we can’t see from this angle), and crashed into the curb before heading his or her way.

While unlucky, the driver was completely alert and responded as fast as one could in this sudden situation by quickly turning the wheel, and ultimately, avoiding a potentially deadly head on collision.

See how it went down in the video that follows the break.
