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.
