"I ran down the street and saw two cars with damage, and I saw like three people from the other car with the rescue team," Habura said.
Habura spoke to a driver nearby who narrowly missed being involved in the crash.
"It was very scary and the guy that was right behind the accident was in shock. He was like 'I’m just going to pray because I was just behind those two cars,'" Habura said.
