Close call! That rolling car just came out of nowhere

Somewhere in Russia - The occupants in the car from which this footage was taken had an extremely close shave with disaster after a vehicle came rolling over an embankment from the opposite carriageway.

Had the vehicle crossed their path just a second or so later, the car on the lower section would have collided with it at around 113km/h - with disastrous results no doubt.

According to the video description, the driver of the other vehicle had been trying to charge their phone, although it’s not known whether any of its occupants were injured during the multiple rollover.

Either way, things could have turned out far worse here, and it serves as yet another example of how dangerous distractions of all kind can be behind the wheel.
