WATCH ABOVE: Surveillance video shows just how close a driver was to being struck by a billboard.
TORONTO – A driver in California is lucky to be safe and sound after narrowly escaping a falling billboard Saturday.
In a surveillance video released by Stone Tooling – the business adjacent to the parking lot where the incident occurred – a pickup truck can be seen pulling out of its parking spot just as a massive billboard comes crashing down.
The fate of the pickup was determined by a matter of inches, and the result could have been disastrous if the truck had delayed for just a moment more.
Fortunately, the driver was only left with a great story to tell friends – unlike the owners of the other two vehicles that were heavily damaged. No one was in either of those cars at the time of the incident.
According to KXAN, wind gusts reached upwards of 70 miles per hour- knocking down trees and power lines all over the Los Angeles area.
