Terrifying video footage captured a tipper truck careening into a garbage truck and cars after running through traffic lights in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. The incident occurred on a Tuesday morning when the out-of-control lorry descended a hill, according to authorities. Dashcam footage shows the green light signaling the garbage truck and cars to move before the speeding tipper truck collided with them, causing significant damage.
The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department responded to the scene promptly after being notified at 9:07 am. They found three injured male foreign nationals and a 34-year-old woman, all rescued from the vehicles before the arrival of firefighters. Subsequent checks revealed a total of six injured individuals, including the local 35-year-old tipper truck driver, with one victim sustaining a broken leg. The police detained the lorry driver for questioning and initiated an investigation into the crash.
In a separate incident earlier this year, a lorry narrowly avoided a head-on collision on a motorway in Devon, UK. Peter Stone, 55, skillfully maneuvered his Porsche 911 to avoid the oncoming lorry that had crossed into his lane on the motorway. Reflecting on the incident, Peter expressed his relief that no one was injured in what could have been a catastrophic accident.
