Duck Miraculously Survives Being Hit by Pickup Truck in South Carolina

A resilient duck survived being run over by a pickup truck in Charleston, South Carolina, recovering almost immediately after the incident on February 24.

Dashcam footage released by the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) on March 4 shows the moment the truck hits the low-flying duck, causing it to tumble onto the ground near Chandler Bridge Creek.

Deputy Benjamin Bennett was concerned for the animal’s welfare, and stopped traffic to go and assist the bird. However, by the time the deputy was out of his car, the duck was already standing up and quickly waddled off to safety. Credit: Charleston County Sheriff’s Office via Storyful
