"Eina."

The video starts with what appears to be the woman attempting to make her way across the pavement. She appears distracted but quickly lifts her head to see a bakkie moving towards her.

She steps back momentarily and, a few seconds later, proceeds to walk as the bakkie drives off.

It's at that exact moment that a gate attached to the back of the bakkie appears to fling open before hitting against the woman as she looked to duck out of the way.

She falls to the ground before three people, including the bakkie driver, emerge and rush over to check on her.

The clip was viewed nearly 50 000 times and attracted a massive reaction from Facebook users. Naturally, those on the platform rushed in to react to the post, with some hoping the woman was all right.
