Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes those missteps occur on the open road. Often, a single misjudgment results in little or no consequence. However, in the case of the video below, two different individuals made significant errors, both resulting in serious accidents. Allegedly, one of them decided to share the footage online for the world to witness.
This comes to us from Reddit where the original poster, /u/FulcrumH2o, claimed to be the driver of the car with the dashcam. They initially recounted the incident before deleting their post, their account, and the video. However, a third party saved their video.
It shows the dashcam car, evidently a Hyundai, driving in lane one. The car passes a semi-truck and according to FulcrumH2o, they intended to move into lane two but “an aggressive driving Audi Q5 hits the right lane and starts passing me.” Instead of simply allowing that pass to take place, it appears as though the driver actually accelerates as the Audi overtakes.

Then, as the Audi enters lane one, the dashcam car doesn’t appear to make any sort of defensive maneuver and the two make contact. The wreck isn’t over there though because at this point both drivers appear to simply continue on course. The Audi driver drifts left and hits their brakes, the Hyundai driver appears to continue on and then it happens… The dashcam car flips and the video ends.
There’s no telling exactly how this whole situation will or did play out for the original poster, but the video seems quite damning for both drivers. The dashcam car driver had plenty of time to slow down to avoid the accident. The Audi certainly should’ve noticed that they weren’t clear to move into lane one. For that matter, they technically shouldn’t be passing in the right lane anyway.
As many in the comment section on Reddit pointed out, it appears as though the dashcam car driver might have been intentionally antagonizing the Audi driver. Whether or not that’s true, the lesson is clear. Be safe on the roads and watch out for folks who are dumb enough to make poor driving choices before posting evidence of them online.
