The video was shared by Phoenix Police Department on Twitter on October 24. In the video, a few cars are standing at the red traffic signal while a couple crosses the road ahead of the vehicles. Suddenly, a car jumps the red light, barrels down the road and gets really close to the couple – almost hitting them. It’s at that exact moment another car stops the previous vehicle by crashing into it.

“An angel in the form of a Chevy Cruz may have saved the lives of a couple pushing a stroller through a Phoenix crosswalk at 53rd Ave & Indian School,” wrote the authorities. “The innocent driver will be ok. The red-light runner was arrested for DUI,” they added further.

Since being shared a few hours back, the video quickly grabbed people’s attention. Till now, it has gathered more than 1.2 lakh views – and the numbers are still increasing. Also, it has amassed about 3,200 likes and close to 1,400 retweets.

People had a lot to say about the miraculous escape of the couple. Here’s how they reacted:
