Captured on the dashboard camera of a car in the middle lane, the video showed a woman who appeared to be looking down at her phone while crossing the road. Though the traffic light was in the pedestrian's favour, an Audi sedan whizzed past. The woman noticed at the last second and reacted quickly to avoid being hit. In the comments section, netizens were shocked at the driver's recklessness – one pointed out that the weather conditions did not permit driving at such speed. Another Facebook user urged authorities to take action while reminding pedestrians that it is best to be aware of their surroundings when crossing the road.
