Driver crushed to death by steel rods

[Yc86]

another one to avoid is the tipper lorries carrying debrics, stones

 

agree on this one.. Was driving behind one when small stones started flying out and shooting at my hood and windscreen. Left a few paint chips on the bumper and hood

[Infernose]

are you asking the obvious? only you can choose to tailgate, you can't choose the tailgater.

Those steel rods weighs in tons....

Easily 20-30 tons of steel rods come crashing down......

The front cabin is like tissue paper to the force...

 

Sad accident

[Kaer]

gawd. wheres the car?

[Uncleo]

When you drive such vehicles and carry such loads you should know the dangers and adopt the safety measures. Obviously he did not and got killed.

 

Lucky nobody innocent is killed by this ignorant driver. 38years old somemore still don't know how to think

What I'm trying to say is its not worth it to risk your life with these drivers. You want to play punk and "limit their speed indirectly", go ahead. Something happens, you are at the losing end.

 

It was a rhetorical question by the way.

To the victim R.I.P . As wat alot pple saying any sudden situation tis kind of

 

prime mover dun usally brake using e-brake, they rather rammed it over cause they will

 

endanger himself. let's wait for some lastest report....

juz a word of fairness, let's all not jump to conclusions as non of us were there when the accident happened.

 

For all we know, the truck driver could haf applied e-brake in order to avoid running some jay walker over or some kuku driver could haf suddenly swerve into his lane in order to turn let or right. Any driver's instinct would be to slam hard on the brakes in order to avoid collision, but the truck driver becomes the victim of circumstance. *sigh*

 

RIP

[Kaer]

OH. The truck driver did a ebrake??? RIP.

[Gabriel]

....its sad..and may his soul RIP

[Karoon]

yeah agree....lets not pass judgement. for all we know he sacrificed himself to save someone else.

 

but that stretch of road.... leading to workers' quarters. very very notorious for truck drivers (not trailers) who drive like they got no license (who coincidentally happen to be foreign worker ferrying foreign workers).

[Nine_eleven]

RIP for the driver... but if he weren't speeding, this wouldn't have occured.
