Toyota Hilux bakkie loses control on muddy road, almost knocks 2 people: Clip has SA dishing driving advice

In related news, Briefly News reported that driving in the rain and mud is tricky business. They don’t teach you these things when you do your driver’s test but don’t stress, the people of Mzansi have got you covered.

Two people were given a second chance at life when an out-of-control bakkie missed them by mere centimetres. Angels were watching them, for sure.

Twitter account @kulanicool shared the video showing the Toyota Hilux bakkie sliding all over a very muddy road, missing two people and then plummeting down a hill. It is wild!
