A relic from a bygone era may have saved the lives of two pedestrians after an electric vehicle lost control and nearly hit them in Milwaukee.
Shocking footage from Saturday shows a dark SUV driving in front of a white Chevrolet EV speeding past it, causing it to crash into two people on the sidewalk.
It appears the car hit an old pedestal holding a public telephone, causing the phone to slide just far enough to the right to save the couple from tragedy.
The video shows the female pedestrian getting up and running to the back of the car to help the man to the ground.
