A receptionist at a real estate company in Toledo, Brazil, narrowly escaped death after a pick-up truck crashed through an office wall. The whole incident was captured on the company’s CCTV and the footage shows the woman appearing nervous as if responding to something she has heard outside of the building.

Seconds later, as the woman attempts to stand up, a vehicle plows through the wall pushing her and her desk across the room under a tide of crumbling wall.

The crash was also taped from another angle and shows other employees attempting to escape the truck before it quickly comes to a halt.

It was one hell of a crash and the woman was very, very lucky to come out it alive.

Not for the squeamish: Man survives being hit by three cars

In a scene reminiscent of the video for Thom Yorke and UNKLE’s “Rabbit in Your Headlights,” a middle-aged man survived being hit by three cars while crossing a busy road in Kunshan City in east China’s Jiangsu province.

The accident happened on October 28th, when the man, identified only as Li, tried to make his way across four lanes of traffic. Li was standing in the middle of the road when he was hit by the first vehicle. Another car plowed into Li seconds later as he lay injured on the ground.

Some passersby go to Li’s aid, and as they make phone calls to emergency services, a third car brakes and then hits Li.

Incredibly Li somehow survived this horrific accident, suffering several fractures in his leg and ribs. Authorities say he is now recovering well in hospital.

This video is not for the squeamish.
