The man lost control of his vehicle and swept away everything in his path, including motorcycles and outdoor café tables.
At that moment, the mother was putting her child in the passenger seat when she suddenly realized what was happening. She grabbed the child in her arms and literally dove into the supermarket next to her, causing both of them to fall to the floor.
This quick thinking proved to be life-saving, as seconds later the elderly man’s car crashed directly into her vehicle with such force that the front section was completely destroyed.
