A car is close to getting crushed by a boulder in a frightening video from Taiwan. This clip has received more than 3.8 million views on YouTube since Saturday.

The video was captured in the town of Badouzi near Heping Island, on August 31 shortly after 16 p.m.

By the 22-second mark, a mudslide starts to unfold and the car in the footage is sprayed with mud and water and pushed to the side of the road.

The accident seems to have been caught on tape via dashcam by the motorist behind the white sedan driver.

As the mountain top collides over the road, a large boulder becomes loose and gets within inches of squashing the vehicle, then stops.

The driver comes out and, along with residents jumping in to help, tries to figure out how to get the rock out of the road.
