This is a scary video! Thank goodness it has a happy ending! A dad and his son were at a donut shop recently when a car crashed through the shop, headed right for the little boy. Luckily the dad's reflexes saved the little boy.

Allan Taylor and his four-year-old son were getting donuts at City Donuts in Aurora, Colorado recently when a stolen car crashed through the storefront. Surveillance video shows Taylor glancing over at his son right as the car comes into view. The man then rushes over and grabs his son Zane just in the nick of time.

As soon as the dad grabbed his son, they both fell to the ground as the car barrels into the storefront. It was a seriously close call! I cannot imagine how scared they both were when this happened. I'm was freaked out watching the video! There are two angles in the video and the second is where you can see how fast dad moved. The video has gone viral with over a million views so far.

According to HuffPost, both Taylor and his son were treated for minor injuries and released. The thief that stole the car is still at large. But not only are Taylor and his son ok, the owner of the donut shop says that the two can have a free donut every Saturday for life. Love that!
