Father and daughter escape crash by nanoseconds
Updated | By Jacaranda FM/Udesha Moodley-Judhoo
A father and daughter in Brazil narrowly escape a car crash after being distracted by a coin they find outside a shop.
Do you believe in fate or destiny? Some events are so improbable that even the most logical minds struggle to explain them.
An incident in Brazil, captured on video, has people on social media talking about the concept of fate or destiny. Some are even connecting it to spirituality.
The footage shows a father and daughter leaving a shop when they spot something on the ground. The father notices a coin near where his daughter is standing. As they bend down to pick it up, they turn just in time to see a car speeding past them, crashing into a nearby sand pile.

Many cultures believe that finding a coin on the ground is a sign of good luck or fortune.
Emily Grace Smith, a Medium contributor, explored this idea in an article she published in 2020. She quoted the late Wayne Dyer, who said, "Every time I pick up a coin from the street, I view it as a symbol of the abundance God sends into my life and feel gratitude. 'Thank you, God, for everything,’ never do I ask ‘why only a penny’?”
In light of this perspective, we might wonder if the father and daughter’s discovery of the coin was a sign of abundance – not in the form of wealth, but as a reminder of the abundance of life itself.
