Near-tragic bus accident in Brazil leaves mother, child unscathed
A woman can consider herself incredibly lucky after she failed to notice an approaching bus in Brazil. The vehicle hit her and then struck the stroller carrying her child. Although everything appeared dramatic, no one was injured.
The dramatic events unfolded on January 7 in the city of Várzea Grande in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. A mother was walking along the roadside, pushing a stroller with her daughter.
She did not notice the approaching bus, which could not avoid the pedestrians at the curve. First, it side-swiped the woman, and then dragged the stroller with the little girl.
The child was dragged several yards by the bus. Eventually, she fell out of the stroller. The terrified woman ran to her daughter and took her into her arms, looking toward the bus driver. The footage of this extremely dramatic incident was published on TikTok by the Brazilian outlet "O POVO".
Journalists from the outlet report that no one was injured. The woman and her daughter can consider themselves incredibly fortunate. They were very close to being pulled under the bus’s wheels, which could have led to a real tragedy.
Storm in comments under the video. "It's a miracle"
Commenters under the video are calling the incident a true miracle. Some people are blaming the mother’s behavior, noting that the woman was holding a phone and looking at the screen while crossing the street.

Others believe that the bus driver should have been more careful. Commenters argue that while the vehicle had the right to cross the road, the driver should have exercised caution upon seeing the woman crossing with her child.
