Terrifying collision on Victorian road has Australia divided
There are times when driving on our country’s major roads isn’t for the faint of heart, and another video from Dash Cam Holders Australia has proved this point, showcasing a terrifying collision between a car and an overtaking truck.
The video, which took place in Victoria along the Geelong Ring Road, begins with a truck driving down the right lane, without noticing the small white car in its blind spot.
The truck indicates to change lanes, but it soon becomes evident that the white car hasn’t noticed this, appearing to not make an effort to speed up or slow down.
As the truck starts to switch lanes it clips the back of the small white car, flipping it around and leaving it wedged horizontally in the way of the truck.
The video has divided viewers on the Facebook page.
“Can’t wait to see the truckles (sic) blame the blind spot on this one. Lets not even mention hogging the right lane!!!' one user wrote.
“As a truck driver I’d be the first to stick up for them. But here it’s clear the B-Double is 100% at fault! Although the car is in his blind spot he would’ve seen that car come up past him at some point,” another added.
“The truck caught up with the car. If he didn't know the car was there why was he in the right hand lane? Dangerous driving by the truck driver,” another user wrote.
