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.
