Couple’s parents overjoyed about their union, especially after extraordinary brush with fate, which they describe as ‘bound by life and death’
A Chinese couple narrowly escaped a serious car crash with only minor injuries and chose to get married shortly after, receiving heartfelt congratulations from across social media.
The 31-year-old man, surnamed Ma, had just returned from a self-driving trip with his girlfriend, travelling from their hometown in central China’s Shanxi province to Shandong province in the east.
On July 26, while driving on a two-lane highway in Shandong, Ma attempted to overtake a truck. Just as he manoeuvred past the truck’s left rear wheel, its left front tyre blew out, causing the vehicle to veer towards Ma’s car.
Despite Ma’s quick reaction to brake, they were unable to avoid a collision, getting squeezed against the highway’s median barrier. Their vehicle sustained severe damage, with both the front and rear dangerously mangled. Remarkably, Ma and his girlfriend, who was seated in the front passenger seat, emerged with only cuts and bruises.
