The female passenger was thrown onto the highway from the vehicle that crashed into the barriers.

In Altona, southwest of Melbourne, a traffic accident that occurred last October on the West Gate Freeway came to the forefront with images shared on social media. The miraculous escape of a female passenger who was thrown from a silver Toyota after it crashed into the barriers was captured by the vehicle's camera.

At the moment of the accident, the vehicle is seen losing control and zigzagging across several lanes. The dashcam footage recorded the moment the car hit the barrier in the left lane, causing the female passenger to be thrown from the vehicle and roll several meters on the freeway. Surprisingly, the woman, who escaped the accident with only minor injuries, was seen lying on the road in a fetal position.

The driver, who shared the footage with Wyndham TV, claimed that the accident occurred because the female passenger pulled the steering wheel. The footage, shared online on Tuesday and viewed by more than 160,000 people, sparked significant debate on social media. Viewers intensely commented on the identity of the person thrown from the vehicle and the importance of wearing seatbelts.

According to information obtained from Victoria Police, the incident was not recorded as life-threatening. However, it is reported that the police are continuing their investigation. Daily Mail Australia is awaiting a statement from the Victoria Ambulance Service regarding the matter.

The incident once again highlighted the importance of obeying traffic rules and wearing seatbelts. Social media users pointed out that the accident could have serious consequences, urging drivers and passengers to be cautious.
