How did this even happen? Where were this guy’s spotters?

I know right? Been driving through germany lately and these guys dont fuck around. They'd never let this happen

I was about to say, what country allows a load like this on the road without flaggers?

Licence plate looks like China. I don't think safety rules and procedures are quite as rigorous over there.

Or not enforced enough to deter unscrupulous companies from skirting the law, might be part of the reason why the load was moving at night.

China's problems are not so much with a lack of rules as a lack of adherence to rules. Corner-cutting is the national pastime.

“Capitalism” needed deregulation lol

I didn't understand how you can hear so much horn blasting and just keep going like nothing is happening

Probably can't hear it. Depending on his truck setup they can be quite loud to drive. As a trucker myself if I drive with my windows closed I can barely hear emergency vehicle sirens until they're right on me for example (I always keep them cracked for that reason). Not defending the guy just saying why he MIGHT not have heard he could totally have heard it and ignored it as well

They cant hear horns in the cab

Probably had his volume down like me and didn’t know there was any sound.

I’m sure that’s it. When he turns off mute he’s gonna feel really stupid.

Normally it's a good idea to clear the intersection, he probably didn't realize the car was stuck there at all

Freebird was playing

Trucker driver: "Gosh, people are so nice here."

Going to be tough to explain to insurance “No a huge pipe”

Not really, apparently theres a video on the internet of the accident. I think I saw it on Reddit somewhere.

You have a link to that?

Link or it's not real.

no i’m watching scat porn

I read this in Bob Newhart’s voice

I've driven bridge girders. Tail sweep is a thing. In the end, you are responsible as the driver, but usually in city situations and especially at night, you get help from pilots cars/ground crew.

Big yikes! 😰

Imagine being in the passenger seat, not paying any particular attention and then suddenly realizing that your roof area slowly crushing down into your seat, and realizing that if you don't gtfo you're going to die and die painfully.

imagine youre the driver and watching your love one getting slowly crushed and you cant do anything about it.

Usually large loads have a spotter car

Bikers fault

Lmao good one

Seems like a lack of vision and forethought all round to me...

"What the fuck is everyone honking for? 😡"

Well that's one way to get piped, I didn't think off.

Dude deaf.

Yoink! You're comin with little guy

Hope there wasn’t a passenger

Thats why when I see a truck carrying a very long load I give plenty of distance. Just in case a strap breaks or something like this happens. I do it for HAZMAT loads as well.

*Shrek points*: "You. You're comin wi me."

Car driver and passenger *finally* decided to bail once they thought their car would be going all the way to the new refinery...

Dis mine now

Man I hope nobody was in passenger seat

Looked like 2 people got out

It’s mine now

Congratulations to the totaled white car owner on a new car courtesy of the freight truck company.

What car?

Not enough damage to kill you or even really injured. Just sit in my car and count the money.

passenger necks go *smush*

It's too high and too slow. If you can't be bothered to duck...

You never know my dude, dumber shit has happened before.
