A WOMAN miraculously escaped being crushed to death after a car lost control and was sent flying past her.

Shocking footage shows the exact moment the pick-up truck lost control and violently collided with a parked car in the city of Braco do Norte, Brazil.

The out-of-control vehicle is seen taking off from the ground, before overturning and landing on its four wheels again, missing the woman by just a few inches.

The parked car is then seen ramming into the wall of a nearby shopfront.

As the pick-up truck comes off the ground, the terrified pedestrian runs to safety on the pavement.

The video went viral after it was shared on social media on Saturday.

The woman was miraculously unharmed by the collision, but extremely shaken up.

Employees from the store opposite came to the woman’s aid soon after the crash.

One of the employees, Erica Figueiredo, said she could “barely speak” because of the nervousness.

Another passer-by also ran to take shelter near a store after the event.

The driver of the pick-up truck was unharmed.

He was wearing company clothes and said he had simply been in a hurry to do a job.

The police were called to the scene but the woman had already left when they arrived.

A police report was filed and the damaged vehicles were removed.
