Truck crash.

As always I may be behind the times,so sorry if its been posted before.

that was shifting.

Jesus Christ :open_mouth:

WTF that was nasty

Bloody late for his RDC slot!

Probably fell asleep with cc on the daft [zb]

Brakes failed perhaps…:question:

It looked like it was doing the wrong side of about 80mph :open_mouth: :confused: :laughing:

The chap in the camera vehicle was extremely lucky.

It was Paddy trying to make the boat!

Pimpdaddy:
Brakes failed perhaps…:question:

When brakes fail they fail safe, lock on rather than no brakes.

Unless its a Renault G290. Them are the ones that the slack adjusters hit the axle beam when they’re out of adjustment.

That was some while ago.
27 people killed in this crash! :open_mouth:

Sorry lad not trying to be bitter just wondering why he said that :smiley:

looking at the other video this happened in south Africa, so I don’t think vehicle road worthiness is high on their lists of things to worry about out there, as we send out most of our old knackard trucks for them to drive :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:
