A 10-car pileup took place a few weeks back on a freeway in California, with the driver of this dashcam-equipped vehicle lucky enough to steer clear of the sudden stationary traffic.
The video was originally posted on Reddit, with the person behind the wheel claiming that the action occurred following “an illegal car meet” – which, from his description, might explain the incident.
Here’s how it all went down according to user Legendary Milkman: “I discovered that the traffic accident occurred from an illegal car meet that was happening at the time, and the SUV in front of me along with two other cars were switching lanes and hard braking consistently.
