The frightening scene was captured by surveillance camera on Dec. 23 and shows the two girls waiting to cross a street on their way to school.
Suddenly, they step back in an attempt to get out of the way as a transport truck barrels towards them.
The girls were hit and slammed to the ground, sending them sliding across the pavement.
The truck can also be seen coming to a halt after skidding six to seven metres and turning 180 degrees.
Video shows one of the girls get up almost immediately while the other remained sitting in the gutter of the road.
