Killed in a “vaxxident”:
Child miraculously escapes death after two-car collision and driver killed
February 5, 2023
It was morning when a runaway car, after suffering a collision of another car, advanced on the sidewalk and by a miracle did not hit the child. The boy was playing on the sidewalk in front of his house under the gaze of his mother, when suddenly the dark car that was parked a few centimeters from the child was violently hit by the Fiat Toro vehicle. The fright was so great that relatives of his were dumbfounded watching the two cars, one pulled up on the sidewalk of the family home, and the other, out of control following until hitting a tree on the sidewalk across the street. It is not known the reason, but what seems (and later confirmed) is that the driver of the white car that hit the parked dark car was feeling ill, since even after the collision the vehicle went aimlessly until it stopped in a tree. Fortunately no one was passing on the other side at that moment. While the boy with the first name Michael (Archangel Michael's name meaning` who is with God') miraculously got out of the accident, the driver of the Fiat Toro truck ended up dying. The driver was 59.
