What's wrong with the driver?!
The female driver can be seen being shocked to move when seeing the three lying on the road.
Denis, one of the teenagers, said at hospital, "The car hit us and threw me for at least five metres. All three of us were hit. We are alive."
"His furious parents insisted on a second X-ray which showed double fractures," she said. "My son is still at the treatment room, so I don't know how badly he was hurt. What kind of doctors are here that they can miss such injuries?"
One witness described the incident as the biggest miracle of the day.
The terrifying process has been captured by a CCTV and three teenagers were fortunately survived after the Peugeot 307 rammed into the pavement, hurling them in the air.
Two of the victims aged 17 and the other 18. All suffered multiple fractures and two have head injuries.

MOSCOW (AP) — Worshippers including President Vladimir Putin packed Moscow’s landmark Christ the Savior Cathedral for a nighttime Easter service led by Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church and an outspoken supporter of the Kremlin.
The traditional sung service begun late Saturday, with Kirill delivering well-wishes to Orthodox believers which were broadcast on Russian TV. A procession of white-robed clergy then circled the vast cathedral, rebuilt in post-Soviet times and widely seen as symbolic of Russia’s rejection of its atheist past, as they swung smoking incense censers and chanted the liturgy.
Most Western churches observed Easter on March 31, but the Russian Orthodox Church follows a different calendar.
In his Easter address, Kirill wished for “God’s blessing over Russia,” its people and all countries where the church has a presence.
In a written message published earlier on Saturday on the church's website, Kirill noted that “awareness of God’s love … gives us strength to overcome the most difficult mental states and difficult circumstances, elevates us above the bustle of everyday life, helps correct previous mistakes and destroys despondency.”
The patriarch this year appeared to steer clear from political pronouncements, unlike last April when he lamented “grave events taking place on our Russian historical land,” referencing Moscow’s military actions in Ukraine and reinforcing the Kremlin’s narrative that Ukrainian statehood is essentially a fiction.
The service, featuring a mixed-voice choir and standing worshippers holding thin red candles, was set to extend well into Sunday.
Putin was shown among the worshippers, standing next to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin as the two joined in the traditional Easter greetings. The Russian leader was later seen exchanging festive gifts with Kirill.
Earlier on Saturday, Orthodox Russians headed to churches to have baskets of festive foods, including hand-painted eggs and traditional Easter cakes, blessed by a priest.
Putin has been eager to portray himself as defending “traditional values” espoused by the Russian Orthodox Church in the face of what he repeatedly casts as the West’s “degrading” influence. The country has increasingly taken a conservative turn, with attempts to restrict abortion and broad bans against LGBTQ+ activism and gender transitioning that have met with the church's support.
