Mom, daughter drive through thick smoke, flames to escape Italian wildfire in terrifying video

A terrifying video from Sicily, Italy, shows the nail-biting moments a mother and daughter were surrounded by smoke and flames from a raging wildfire while driving Monday.

The video, which was recorded by Centamore Natalia Mariagrazia, showed how perilous the conditions were during their drive from Syracuse to their home in Carlentini on the island’s southeastern coast.

In a translated message, Mariagrazia told Storyful that while they did see smoke off in the distance while they were driving, they didn’t think the situation was dangerous enough to prevent them from continuing their journey.

“Going further on, we noticed that the situation was only going to get worse,” she told Storyful. “But we could not stop anymore.”

She said that her mother bravely handled the situation while driving through the thick smoke and flames, but when they emerged from the inferno, she immediately began to cry as “the terror was thankfully over.”
