A young man was sleeping peacefully in a kind of armchair placed on the sidewalk of a street in Adana, Turkey. The scene appeared calm, and several passersby can even be seen walking by him.

A car lost control while the young man slept

Suddenly, the calm turned into a true nightmare. An out-of-control car veered onto the sidewalk and passed dangerously close to the young man, who woke up startled by the loud noise and commotion.

His reaction was immediate. Visibly shaken, the young man got up and tried to understand what had just happened. Fortunately, the footage shows that he managed to move away and was not hit.

Passersby came over to help him

After the incident, several people approached to assist him. The young man appeared to remain in a state of shock, which is understandable after waking up so abruptly and realizing he had come within inches of being run over.

The video shows how an everyday situation can change in a matter of seconds. Although the reasons why the driver lost control are not known in detail, the incident left behind a scene that was as shocking as it was hard to forget.
