A tragic accident involving a trailer has occurred on the Third Mainland Bridge, with a video of the incident surfacing online and spreading rapidly on social media platforms.
The video, shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), vividly captured the heart-stopping accident, showcasing the dangerous moment on the bridge.
In the clip, a speeding red car was seen moving swiftly along the bridge, seemingly unaware of the unfolding events. Moments later, a trailer attempting to overtake another trailer on the left side of the road made a dangerous maneuver, swerving into the path of the oncoming red car.
The truck driver, apparently trying to avoid a collision with the other trailer, veered to the right, inadvertently entering the red car’s lane. The sudden change of direction left the red car with no time to react or adjust, causing the car to collide with the trailer. The impact resulted in significant damage to the car, particularly its body, though no injuries have been reported as of now.
The video, though brief, effectively conveyed the extent of the damage, as the red car appeared severely crushed by the force of the collision. The terrifying scene left viewers in shock as they processed the details of the accident.
As the video continued to circulate online, many concerned individuals flocked to the comment section to share their thoughts and express their reactions to the incident. Various opinions flooded in, ranging from blaming the speed of the red car driver to criticizing the truck driver for the unsafe maneuver.
Here are some reactions from online users:
