This Terrifying Dash-Cam Footage Is What Happens When Trucks Run Red Lights

How no one was seriously injured in this dramatic smash Stateside is a minor miracle, but the amazing dash-cam footage is a real eye-opener

Fair warning: make sure you’re not taking a sip of a very hot drink as just as the action kicks off in this video. It escalates quickly.

A Lowe’s truck runs a red light in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. It’s like the driver doesn’t even see the intersection at all. A red Hyundai speeds into the side of the truck as it’s passing, punting the latter off its line, onto its side and into a pretty nasty crash, narrowly missing crushing the innocent driver in the car ahead of the camera.

Miraculously no one seems to have been seriously injured in the crash, although plenty of airbags will have fired and it sounds like a few tempers were understandably frayed. Check out the footage and do try not to do what this trucker did.

Judging by the shadows and the reflection of the sun. I would assume the sun was in the truck drivers eyes. Have to have to slow down people! If you can’t see, take it down to like 20 mph.

The real story here is that Hyundai has been secretly stuffing elantras with gold bouillon to drag our economy down so we look at more of their cars, I see no other way that could have flipped a 6 ton truck with ease.

While this is completely the truck drivers fault it does kind of look like the Hyundai driver was going a little bit too fast through that intersection..

Yep. Always approach a junction with caution, otherwise you’re putting your life in the hands of every other person at that junction. Why would anyone want to do that? What if there was a fire engine, police car etc?

Also, peripheral vision and not just looking at the road in front of you. The van was able to anticipate the truck was going too fast to be stopping, while the Hyundai driver didn’t start breaking until the truck was directly in front of them.
