When this hatchback spun out of control on Mozhaiskoye Shosse near the Moscow region town of Zharovonki a few weeks ago, the driver narrowly avoided a side-on collision with oncoming traffic.
Despite snaking left and right across the three-lane stretch of road, the driver escaped unharmed from the incident after their car ended up safely in a ditch.
Take a look for yourself and see how close a scrape it was.
Editor's note: The motorist who captured the incident on camera said the year displayed on his dashboard camera was off by two years, hence the reading on the YouTube clip above.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
