Horrible truck crash in China - Lorry overturn

This incredible and shocking CCTV footage from a busy road in eastern China shows a lorry speeding over past a traffic light and overturning, nearly hitting a cyclist, bikers and nearby pedestrians. The truck was going at high speed as to avoid the red traffic light; while attempting to turn, the weight of the container was just too much, causing an overturn.

This incident took place in Wenling City in eastern China's Zhejiang Province. Fortunately, no one was injured. To quote ITN's report, "officials said passersby narrowly avoided injury."

I guess crashes must happen so much in China that it's just like whatevz yo... I mean look at those bikers; a massive rig has just toppled over at a dangerously close high speed right in front of your face... but oh hey, green light.

what's astonishing, apart from the driver stupidity, is that bikers and all pedestrians in the nearby almost seem to not caring about the accident, as they just keep on going on. Can't believe it...

@LloydNorin Believe it. This child laid in an alley in China and was repeatedly ran over while people walked by........

alright, sorry for being snappy. wasn't expecting a mature response on Youtube lol. but yeah absolutely, clearing out of the way would be my 1st instinct. I'd rather not hang out and join the pile up myself, especially if there's busy traffic behind us

@fookdagook

well you have a valid point, i may have been reaching a bit there. It's just to ME, it has been always obvious what to do if theres an accident in front of you - do NOT look at it, keep going as fast as you can out of there to clear the road for emergency vehicles, witnesses, and samaritans. It always drives me crazy to see people slow down to a crawl and go "omgaw! i neva seen a dead puhson up clouhs befo?" so I thought you were one of those people.

I never said they need to "eye-hump" anything, I simply pointed out that their demeanor is surprisingly casual considering how astounding the accident had to have looked in person, and also how they could have lost their lives.

But yeah, go ahead and twist my words into something extreme so you can have your precious Youtube argument.
