Close Call for Betty Kyallo

On a fateful day in July 2020, media personality Betty Kyallo was driving out for lunch with two passengers aboard when she almost got involved in a fatal accident.

According to eyewitnesses, Betty was behind the wheel of her Mercedes Benz, accompanied by her friend and lawyer Evelyn, as well as a cameraman, when she met head-on with a fast-speeding ambulance just as she was taking a right corner.

Thanks to quick reflexes, Betty managed to jerk and suddenly break, throwing the three to the front. The ambulance, however, was able to cross the road just in time, narrowly avoiding a catastrophic collision.

Betty, visibly shaken, expressed her shock and relief in a video recording of the incident, saying: 'What!!! My heart is beating guys! That ambulance that just came from nowhere!' She also added: 'That ambulance came head-on and it was coming from a corner. I couldn't see it and I was the one who had the right of way.'

It's a miracle that the three occupants of the vehicle were spared, and they can thank God for their narrow escape.
