Texas Dispatchers Near Miss Accident

Two female Texas police dispatchers are counting their blessings this week after they were just seconds away from dodging an extremely violent car crash. According to the Hamlin Police Department, the heart-stopping accident happened on Wednesday, April 6.

Seconds Before the Crash

In Hamlin, just a tiny rural Texas town, two female police dispatchers were standing on the sidewalk outside of the police department. The two women were taking a quick break to smoke a cigarette.

The women finished up and headed back inside. Just moments after the women went back inside, an out-of-control Tesla came speeding down the sidewalk, right where they were standing.

CCTV footage recorded the moments of the chilling incident.
