A road rage accident and a quick reaction.
By now, of course, everyone knows that NYC’s traffic is insane – but this was way overboard.
Last Tuesday, a pedestrian in Brooklyn almost died in what we can only call a cinematic crash involving two automobiles.
CCTV footage shows the high-speed cars smashing into a building, narrowly missing the pedestrian.
The cars were reportedly involved in a road rage incident.
The 20-year-old man did some quick thinking on his feet that saved his life.

The New York Post reported:
“Insane video shows the moment two drivers — one allegedly intoxicated — smashed into a Brooklyn building in a suspected road rage showdown that injured an innocent bystander, police and sources said.
The footage shows a pedestrian in a blue tracksuit strolling along Fulton Street in Bedford Stuyvesant around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday when two cars — a black Cadillac and BMW — suddenly sped into view after tearing through a red light, according to cops.
The 20-year-old bystander managed to leap out of the way as both cars nearly hit him, with the BMW slamming into the building, destroying an under-construction yoga studio that was due to open in weeks.”
