  • How is it possible for something this size and weight to be physically lifted off the ground and flung on its side.It is beyond belief and does not make sense.

  • Is this the accident where they found the driver of the truck still clutching his mobile phone ?

  • god bless his family

  • A main contributing factor on this accident (in addition to bad driving) was the poor design of the barriers which are designed for side impacts. This truck turned over & fell onto the barrier from above, snapping off the horizontal rail and bending the upright columns to 45 degrees. It was these unprotected 45 degree stakes (see video@ 3.24 seconds) now pointing towards the truck as it slid towards them, that tore into the truck cab causing many of the guy's injuries.

    Very Sad - RIP fella

  • Poor bugger :(
