Intuition, peripheral vision, survival instinct … The truth is that a boxer cross with Staffy saved her owner from a tragedy when she ran sideways dragging her on a leash and thus avoided being hit by an out of control truck.
Kimberley Bridges, 35, was walking her boxer Orla in Castleford, West Yorkshire, England when the Toyota Hilux came full speed down the road and nearly hit her.
Orla reacted quickly, shoving the sturdy black 4×4 out of the way as she turned off the road and onto the curb where Kimberley and her pet were walking.
Kimberley with her dog Orla: “I would have lost my life if my pet hadn’t run away.”
The truck failed to overwhelm the woman by inches, as it moves uncontrollably along the road at about 112 kilometers per hour. “I could feel the wind from the mirror brushing against me,” she said.
Kimberley told it the car landed on the sidewalk, hit a traffic island and then collided with another car. Luckily she came out unscathed but with an image of a few seconds that she will hardly be able to forget.
Kimberley confessed that she was relieved that the driver’s wild drive occurred earlier than students are usually seen leaving neighborhood schools.
The woman, who works in the telecommunications sector, said: ‘I just froze in fear. All I could see was this huge truck speeding towards me. I thought: “There’s no way I’m going to survive this”reports the Daily mail.
“He was driving like crazy”
The woman confessed to the English medium: ‘I was driving like a maniac … When the car came towards me, all I could see was that huge racing car. I would have lost my life if the dog hadn’t run away while I had the leash tied to my wrist “.

“Anyway, I felt the rearview mirror brush my back. If I had crouched, I would have cut off my head. “
Kimberley added that she felt the car was “ghosted” in the past and simply disappeared. The next thing she heard was a woman screaming as she tried to catch her breath.
It all happened when Toyota Hilux had a previous accident with another vehicle: He hit a female driver and made her turn in her car on the curb.
“If it had happened half an hour later, the sidewalk would have been full of kids going to school,” Kimberley recalled. “Then I heard that as she walked away, she almost hit a mother with a stroller.”
According to the Daily Mail, the car involved in the accident started at full speed and was then found abandoned in the nearby town of Pontefract. West Yorkshire Police said they are investigating reports of dangerous driving and criminal damage in Holywell Lane, Castleford, on 22 July.
