Staying completely focused when behind the wheel is something that can’t be stressed enough, yet it seems that distracted driving is still a serious issue that can lead to many accidents.
This incident took place in Reading, Massachusetts, and was recorded on what is likely a home security camera, hence the quality. A garbage truck is shown coming to a complete stop, and the worker hops off the back to grab the bins.

While the truck was stationary, what looks like an Acura MDX drove straight into the back of it. It’s not exactly clear as to what caused this, but some people in the video’s comments speculated that the SUV’s driver might have been distracted.
The driver didn’t look as if they were slowing down much if at all, and while it could be the lighting, it almost seems as if their front bumper already had some damage done to it before this crash. In the end, the car appears to have sustained some serious frontal damage, while the garbage truck likely was nearly unscathed.

However, the person who was really lucky in this incident was the garbageman, as if he had not gotten off the back of the truck to collect the garbage, he could have been sandwiched in the crash. Thankfully, that was not the case, and shortly after he is seen asking the driver if they are alright.
