Diners at a restaurant in Ranchi, India, had a lucky escape on February 18 when a car crashed through the front window of the building.

This CCTV footage shows the moment of the crash, as the car narrowly avoids seriously injuring the people inside.

According to reports, the driver of the car lost control when he accidentally accelerated instead of breaking, while trying to park outside.

Restaurant manager Shawkat Galaria, and owner of the video, told Newsivity, “I was sitting just behind the table that the car came crashing into and so I feel we were all very lucky indeed!”

“Thanks to almighty that there were no heavy casualties during this unfortunate accident. God is great,” Galaria added. Credit: YouTube: Sandeep Kumar / Newsivity
