Watch Cop's Extremely Lucky Escape As Car Slams Into Gas Station

Try not to wince at this terrifyingly close call.

A police officer in southeastern Spain had a close call after an out-of-control car crashed into a gas station.

A red BMW narrowly avoided striking a Civil Guard officer and a pump attendant who was filling up his patrol vehicle at the Repsol outlet in Monovar, near Alicante, at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

Surveillance footage shows the BMW clipping the kerb as it swerves to avoid another car which was, according to the El Pais newspaper, illegally turning into the station . The BMW then veers away from the squad car, partially hits a pillar and skids to a halt several feet away.

If the car had hit us , it would have killed us,” an unidentified witness who was inside the station’s store at the time of the accident told La Sexta.

Incredibly, no one was injured .

Police questioned both the BMW driver and the car that allegedly forced it swerve. No charges have yet been filed.
