Dodge Charger & Passerby Nearly Smashed by Crane

By -

Live Leak video shows crane just inches from demolishing the new Dodge Charger & possibly knocking out a bystander. 

Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. A man in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico was touched by an angel recently. While walking down the street, a crane from a nearby construction site came shockingly close to hitting both him and a red 2018 Dodge Charger SXT parked on the street. The video was uploaded to Live Leak and will have you saying “No, no, no, no…Whew!

“I had taken my car to my dad’s company warehouse to get my car fixed with some stripe designs,” the unnamed car owner told Live Leak. “While I was waiting for my uncle to get to the warehouse to put the design on my car, I got the word from my dad that my car was almost hit by a crane that was being operated at his warehouse.”

Thankfully everyone walked (and drove) away from the incident unscathed. And, because cameras are always rolling somewhere, it was caught on video.

“My dad pulled out his phone to see if his security cameras had captured the close call that my car had with the crane, and, sure enough, the footage had been captured,” the car owner said.

After seeing this white-knuckle moment, we think we’ll be double-checking where we park (and walk) in the future.
