Lorry smashes into two cars at junction but nobody’s sure who to blame | UK | News


A video showing a lorry crashing into a car left viewers shocked after it was caught on dashcam footage.

The video was uploaded to TikTok and the shocking footage shows three vehicles caught up in the crash.

At a junction, a lorry turns into a road at a bad angle and two cars which were waiting to pull out onto the main road are hit. The incident happened in Avonmouth, Bristol and luckily no one was hurt.

Dashcam footage shows the driver pulling up behind a red BMW hatchback that’s stopped and is ready to turn left at a junction.

However, as the BMW indicates, a lorry turning into the road appears to take the bend at a bad angle and at too much speed.

In doing so, its trailer smashes into the small BMW as it swings around – even causing it to smash back into the car behind it that’s recording.

The cars begin to sound their horns to make the lorry aware that they have been hit.

No information on what happened after the incident is currently present but social media viewers seem to think the lorry was in the wrong.

While most agree this is the case, some believe that there was more the other cars could do to avoid being hit.

Although counter-comments suggested that a whole queue of traffic would not have been able to reverse to make space for the lorry.

On 28 October, new rules for HGV drivers will come into effect. HGV drivers in London will need to follow new safety laws. The large vehicles will also be given a Direct Vision Standard Score based on how well the driver can see their cab without mirrors or cameras.
