A lorry was recently captured on camera reversing uncontrollably after its brakes failed, causing a serious accident.
The incident took place on a busy road, where the lorry, loaded with goods, was unable to stop due to brake failure.
As it started rolling backward, the driver attempted to control the vehicle, but the situation quickly became dangerous. Several vehicles behind it, as well as pedestrians, were at risk.
The accident resulted in damage to several cars that were hit by the lorry. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with motorists honking and people shouting warnings to clear the area.
Fortunately, quick action from some drivers who moved out of the lorry’s path prevented further destruction.
Brake failure is a common cause of accidents involving heavy vehicles, and incidents like this highlight the importance of regular vehicle maintenance.
Authorities have reminded drivers and transport companies to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy to avoid such mishaps, which can result in property damage, injuries, or even fatalities.
This unfortunate event serves as a reminder to road users about the potential dangers on the road, particularly when large vehicles are involved.
Such incidents not only cause physical harm but also disrupt the flow of traffic for hours, leading to inconveniences for commuters.
