Brazilian Truck Driver Crashes and Dangles Over a Bridge, By Passers Come to Help with a Rope

A truck driver in southern Brazil was captured on tape trying to escape along with his…luggage after an accident that occurred on the Chavantes bridge, which connects the Brazilian states of Parana and Sao Paulo, this past Saturday.

A local website named Npdiario reported that the driver, Aguinaldo da Silva, lost control of his two-trailer truck when he tried to avoid a passenger car that suddenly stopped in front of him and ended up crashing over the guardrail with the truck cabin dangling over the water.

You have to see this accident to believe it. In the video footage that follows, we see the driver of a long lorry suddenly turning left into the other lane to avoid a crash with another truck that had stopped in the middle of the road – who knows why.

A third truck coming from the other direction has no choice than to make a small maneuver and smash into the lorry's metal container.

What follows next, will leave you speechless as the second truck's driver, who was obviously not wearing a seat belt, is thrown out of his vehicle's window but he manages to land on his feet without suffering any injuries!

Earlier today, we shared a dash-cam video of two truck drivers in Russia ganging up (to some extent) on a passenger car that had attempted to overtake them.

Now, another video of a group of truckers that was recorded on September 9 has been making the internet and even television rounds in Russia – and this one is far more violent.

Who knows why the driver of this small truck in the city of Częstochowa in south Poland was in such a big rush, but we can't really say that we have ever seen something like this…

The driver and passenger of the vehicle filming the truck seem to be having a good time watching it speeding on the sidewalk and bypassing the traffic and the lights, so we gather some of you may too.

Just hop over the break and check out the video that follows.

How many small trucks can you fit on the loading area of full size truck trailer? Well, that depends on who and where you ask that question.

In China, for example, a lorry was filmed carrying a total of 18 trucks (!) spread out in two rows. Now that's what we call being efficient – not to mention being a hazard for the rest of the road users…

A short video follows right after the break.

Seriously now, what was this man thinking when he started jogging on the tracks of a trolley car?

Though the video isn’t very clear about this, we are going to assume that he was wearing earphones listening to music or perhaps his favorite radio station when the tram came approaching from behind and well, let's just say rammed him off his feet…

Video footage sourced from a security camera located on a building that recently surfaced online has shed some light to an accident that took place in downtown San Francisco on August 3, 2012.

The recording shows a white crossover identified as a "Subaru Wagon" (likely a Forester) entering the inner lane of the road and slowing down behind a trolley car that had stopped for a red light when a MUNI bus came crashing from behind literally sandwiching the Japanese model.

Unlike human laws, you can't change the laws of physics and you can't escape them. Simple as that.

Now try telling that to the Russian driver of the large fuel tanker that attempted to speed through a roundabout…

This has to be one of the most bizarre accidents we have ever seen captured on a dashcam – and mind you, it did not happen in Russia but in Asia, in the small town of Caoya in Taiwan, if our translation of the video description is correct (if it isn't, tell us and we'll fix it).

In the footage, we see a passenger car turning on the street behind a large truck carrying a crane.

Who knows how or why this Russian man found himself in such an extremely sticky situation in the mud, but he was fortunate enough to receive a helping hand…or rather a bucket from one of his fellow workers.

What's really impressive about this scene are the skills of the man operating the large excavator as he was able to scoop him out of the mud with the prevision of a gifted heart surgeon.

Falling asleep or not paying attention when you are handling any kind of motorized vehicle can be dangerous, but doing so on a scooter bike and not wearing a protective helmet on your head can prove deadly.

The young woman featured in this dashcam video, reportedly from Russia, appears to have dozed off for a second or two on the bike and veered off her lane.

We suppose tractor-pulling competitions can be fun for some people but they can also be dangerous if someone gets carried away.

That someone happened to be the driver of a red tractor that was involved in a mechanical tug of war with a fellow owner of green-colored tractor - possibly in India or Pakistan, we are not sure as there are no details in the description, but feel free to enlighten us in the comments section if you happen to know.

Walking bridges are built to ensure the safe passage over roadways for pedestrians and cycling traffic, but a freak accident, which reportedly occurred in the Russian city of Vladivostok, proves that there's no such thing as "100 percent safe".

If you pay attention to the video, you will see a man hoping down the stairs of a pedestrian bridge when all of a sudden, at the 7-second mark, a silver sedan crashed into the side of a truck.

Styrofoam may be as light as a feather but try dealing with a board coming your way on the highway...while riding on a motorcycle and it's a completely different story, as a group of bikers found out earlier this week.

This incident, which was recorded by one of the riders equipped with a GoPro helmet camera, took place in McAllen, Texas.

"Thanks to some idiots who didnt tie down their box of styro foam it flew out of a trailer and hit 1 guy he fell and the rider behind him clipped his bike and fell aswell," said one of the bikers, nicknamed "Astat4" on YouTube.

Most people would secretly like to believe that there's a little Superman hiding inside us. Take this driver, for example, who tried to stop a runaway bus from rolling into the road (allegedly somewhere in Russia) by holding on to the windscreen wipers.

As it turns out, there's not much your average human can do to stop a 15-ton vehicle when it’s on a roll.

Something tells us that even if the driver featured in the above screen shot and the first video after the break tried to repeat this feat, he probably wouldn't succeed.

The man in the white sedan looks like he wasn't paying attention to the road and clipped the black Opel Astra in front him, which pushed the car on its two wheels on the driver's side for a few seconds before it landed safely on the ground.

Now here's one Russian motorist who should be commended not only for being prepared (as in leaving a secure distance from the car in front) and for paying attention to what's going on behind him/her on the road but also for taking swift action once trouble was detected.

So here's what happened: while waiting a stop light, the driver saw a truck coming from behind at a fast speed with no intention of stopping so the motorist quickly put the car in gear and moved a few feet to the right without touching the vehicle on the other lane.

You could say that justice was served in the most appropriate way for a tire-slashing thug in China.

According to the YouTube poster, the man seen in the video tried to extort the owner of a nearby store and when he was rejected, he took out a knife and slashed the front tire of his truck that was parked outside.

The only problem was that his plan didn’t exactly go as expected…See what happened next in the video that follows right below the break.

Typically, vacations are supposed to be a relaxing time away from work and the day-to-day rat race of your regular life.

Now, try telling this to the man sitting behind the wheel of this camera-equipped passenger car, reportedly in Ukraine…

From what our tipster Eldar told us and what we read in the YouTube comments, the footage was taken during Ukraine's annual Constitution Day celebrations at the end of June.

A Hungarian truck driver, who spent his afternoon sipping homemade plum brandy and beers with other drivers while watching a Grand Prix before he terrorized motorists on a West Midlands motorway by driving his lorry on the wrong side of the M6 with his headlights turned off, has been jailed for eight months and barred from driving for three years.

The incident took place last month at 10.25pm down the northbound carriage of the M6 with driver Pal Korbely forcing dozens of motorists including a 56-seater bus to swerve out of the way in order to avoid a potentially fatal accident.
