A five-pound chihuahua managed to reverse its owner’s SUV onto a four-lane highway in Slidell, Louisiana, on November 22, with police saying it was “a miracle” no one was seriously hurt and no other vehicles damaged.

This remarkable footage of the incident was released by the Slidell Police Department. It shows a woman about to pump gas when the car reverses away, and continues across the four-lane Gause Boulevard. The woman runs after the vehicle but is unable to stop it, and falls over.

The car came to rest in the forecourt of a gas station across the street. The woman was lightly injured, police said.

According to the police, the chihuahua was able to put the car in gear because of a mechanical issue that allowed the transmission to change gears without the brake being pressed. Credit: Slidell Police Department via Storyful
