It has a nice, smooth finish.

I don't know how to embed these.

Did you see his reaction? That's probably the fastest he's moved in decades. Well done!

I can't get it to not auto-play.
The white suv looks like he's ready to go when the light changes at the end!

Didn’t expect that!

If I were the white car, I would have passive aggressively slammed on the brakes and hit reverse to roll the SUV off the front of my hood.

Kind of a d#$k move, as it would have flipped the occupants on their roof, but hey, I'm a victim too! Get off my hood!!!!

The white car's part in this drama seems fake and makes me think the whole thing is fake.

Right, the guy in the crosswalk comes back but seems to be looking more at the camera car.

I'm pretty sure most folks would be looking at the stacked SUVs. Also, gotta wonder what happened to the little maroon car that was to the right of the camera car.

My guess is that some of it was fake, but there's enough stuff like that out there that some of it was probably real.

Without consensu/alexametrics/facebook javascript enabled, the Imgur system won't play it on their own website.
It does embed here however.

There are a ton of pedestrian near-misses and bizarre crash videos out there on the internet, NSFW.

The guy in the camera car could be talking to the pedestrian... Something like "Holy crap dude, you almost died!"

I think it looks a little too random with too much potential for injury to be faked but could be wrong.

If there is a way for a near death experience to be comical that is surely it!

The angle of the path should have been right into the maroon car. (unless the driver was quick enough to cram it into reverse)
Maybe it hit it and helped flip it onto the white suv....hard to tell.

Not even The Waco Kid is that quick - that car had to have been hit.
