A traffic accident was caught on the Abu Dhabi Police's road cameras, caused by a distracted driver who failed to spot a stationary taxi at a pedestrian crossing.
In the 25-second clip that the police shared on Friday, a mini van fails to spot the taxi that had stopped for pedestrians to cross.
The mini van tries to take evasive action at the last moment but slams into the taxi, which had indicated the stop earlier by turning the hazard lights on. The three pedestrians have a lucky escape after they spot the mini van ramming into the taxi.
