An elderly man parks a tricycle by the roadside.

However, when the hat he was wearing blows away in the wind, he quickly steps away to retrieve it.

At that exact moment, a car comes speeding in and violently crashes into the parked tricycle.

This breathtaking moment was captured in Shangqiu, Henan Province, China.

The tricycle was heavily damaged, but the elderly man narrowly escaped disaster by a matter of just a few seconds.

Following the accident, the driver reportedly apologized to the elderly man and personally repaired the tricycle.
