Did the driver of this semi truck in Holland not see the Opel Corsa in front of them or did he get annoyed, purposely getting too close to the car? Whatever the case, the truck ended up hitting the small hatch, ramming it twice before sending it spinning in the other direction.
While a lack of awareness can’t be ruled out, it also seems unlikely that you could miss another vehicle that’s positioned right in front of you, especially with a flat front rig, which doesn’t have that long engine cover obstructing the driver’s view.
As if causing another vehicle to crash wasn’t bad enough, the semi driver didn’t even signal their intent to switch lanes. Surely the vehicle was equipped with indicators.
Another thing worth mentioning is the Corsa’s speed. In regards to that issue, all we can say is that the driver of the supermini didn’t seem do anything wrong – they were just minding their own business. Unless, of course, they slowed down or brake checked the the truck, something we can’t tell or see from this angle.
After the initial hit, it’s only natural for the driver of the car to take a moment and process what had just happened.
Of course, the good part is that nobody got hurt, despite the Opel spinning out of control and making contact with another car.
