Video: Car collides with front of truck; truck can’t be arsed stopping and carries car along for ages

When a car collided with the front of a truck in South Korea, you’d naturally expect the truck driver to stop in order to prevent any further damage. Except this truck driver couldn’t have been arsed.

The advent of dash-cams has thrown up some pretty interesting video clips in recent times (the overwhelming majority of which are from Russia), some shocking, some dramatic but none quite as amusing as this one from South Korea.

On a busy and what looked like a slippery road, a car veered out in front of a truck on a multi-lane highway and the side of the car then seemed to attach itself to the front of truck rather than bouncing off it on impact.

Under normal circumstances you’d expect the truck to stop, but the driver in question was obviously having a bad day or was just in an awful hurry because he or she decided to keep on driving and proceeded to pull the car along with the truck for a good 30 seconds.

Obviously not quite believing what they were seeing, the driver of the car with the dash-cam got as close as they could to the truck to witness it for themselves, until the car eventually slipped off the truck and onto the opposite side of the road.

Judging by the fact that none of the cars coming in the opposite direction had to stop immediately afterwards we can only assume that there was no major accident caused as a result, but it’s pretty safe to say that the driver of the truck in question was probably best avoided for the rest of this particular day.
