Watch the Moment the Pedestrians in This Video Realize Something Is About to Go Very Wrong, and the Jaw-Dropping Result

Pedestrians in Russia might have thought it was safe to cross the street, cars yielding to them on either side of the crosswalk. But they were soon caught in the middle and left trying to run for their lives when a truck didn't notice the minivan in front of him had stopped for the walkers.

All caught on a dashboard camera, a group of five young men and a woman scrambled as the truck hit the minivan and swerved directly toward them. On their other side, a station wagon wanting to get out of the way of the oncoming truck as well, ended up pinning most of the pedestrians right in its path.

Because the news report is in Russian, the extent of the injuries caused by the accident is not clear. At least one of the pedestrians was attended to by medical professionals and loaded into an ambulance in a second video posted by the news station:

In the report, a police officer talked to the truck driver, but it is not known what repercussions he might face, if any.
