A woman pushing a child in a stroller survived being struck by a car while attempting to make it across a crosswalk in Framingham, Massachusetts, raising concerns about the safety of concurrent traffic signals.

The incident was caught on camera with the video capturing the vehicle smashing into and toppling over the stroller. Miraculously, police said the woman and child only suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

"The video is certainly hard to watch. We're just a few inches from a very different story," said Sgt. Ryan Porter of the Framingham Police Department, "Following the impact the child actually did come dislodged from the car seat. We are not at this time able to say if they were secured, but fortunate to not talk about a much different story."
