Recently, in Changshu, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, a male driver driving a BMW was rear-ended by a truck while driving on a provincial road, causing the BMW to be pushed under the truck in front, completely flattening the front half of the car. The owner miraculously suffered only minor injuries, sparking attention online.
On January 15th, Mr. Gong, the owner of the BMW, told Red Star News that the accident occurred on the afternoon of January 7th. Normally, he would keep a safe distance from trucks, but that day, due to road construction ahead, he switched lanes to follow a truck. Suddenly, he saw in the rearview mirror that a truck behind him was coming towards him. In an instant, everything turned dark as the large truck rammed him underneath the truck in front.
After he climbed out, he saw that the front half of his car was completely flattened. The driver in front was surprised to see him alive and couldn’t help but ask, “How did you get out?”
It was only then that he realized, in the moment of the accident, he felt the car seat reclining, and then found himself lying on the seat, narrowly escaping disaster.
After examination, Mr. Gong was found to have only twisted his knee and had a red mark on his forehead, with no serious injuries.
He said, perhaps the bottom of the truck in front had a spare tire, which was knocked down by his car after the collision, providing some cushioning effect. In addition, his own car also played a role in ensuring safety, “It’s all about luck.”
On January 9th, Mr. Gong shared the details of his traffic accident along with on-site photos online. In the photos, the front half of his BMW X5 was nearly completely destroyed, wedged under a truck; the rear of the vehicle was also severely deformed. Netizens marveled at the scene, with many saying, “This owner must have accumulated great virtue!”
