I was coming from Stars Cinema side and was waiting near the signal. Just then, the red light splashed on the Wadi Kabir-Sheraton side, and all the vehicles stopped except for a saloon car which kept moving and hit a car coming out of Sheraton and going towards Ruwi-CBD. Dumbstruck, I closed my eyes for a second. The saloon car then crashed into the signal post, uprooting it, and came to a screeching halt in front of a lamp post. All this I was witnessing as is. After a few seconds, an Indian guy with his wife and a little baby emerged from the saloon car, and the terrified lady crossed over to the other side of the road clutching on to her baby and crying hysterically. The saloon car was totally smashed, and by the looks of it, it was a close shave for the family who escaped unhurt. Nothing happened to the guy on the other car either.
It is a close call for the car in front of me who luckily had stopped a few yards behind; otherwise the signal post would have fallen on his car.
