Telegraph pole saves pedestrians from hurtling car

Three pedestrians are lucky to be alive thanks to a sturdy telegraph pole that stood between them and an out-of-control car in Turkey.

Undated surveillance footage shows the trio, including two young boys wearing school backpacks, on the road's edge in Turkey's Bursa province when the car suddenly careens into view.

Oblivious to the action unfolding behind her, the female pedestrian continues to walk calmly, narrowly passing the pole when it collects the speeding sedan.

Parts of the car's bonnet and front bumper spray over the road but somehow miss all three standing within metres of the wreck.

The trio appear shaken but unharmed.

It is not clear whether the driver was injured in the crash.
