Truck collects car at accident scene

[leonthalion]

hahahahaha what a tool, he was completely bewildered, how could you not see that, its a car not a set of car keys.

I've heard of that happening before somewhere. Little old lady in a small car merged onto the front of a truck. The driver only stopped because of the smoke coming from the front of the truck. Something tells me it happened in Geelong but might be wrong. Minux will know if it was the G.

I started to read the article then saw the video and hit play.

I thought the accident had just happened and he didnt see it.

But then I saw the Ambulance, HWP car and the other cop car flashing red and blue, now that you would see at night I dont care what you say.

I just said to dad, Imagine if the cops or ambos were at that VR/VS talking to the driver. I think thats why the cop runs after him and abuses him I know my first thoughts would be "fark imagine if I was standing there"

That guy needs a powernap!

[LeojVS]

something tells me he wont be getting a good nights sleep..... How you could not see that I do not know. Mobile, radio, CB?

[vlv8vic]

Video still not working for me. Crashes mozilla. pfft.

From what i could see the ambo's and cop cars where in the lane beside the car and not behind it,with flashing lights going it would be confusing,and the vr/vs is black in colour.

It is all good and proper to say its the trucks fault, but where the **** did the car come from to begin with? It is in the opposite lane to the accident, and it is already side on in front of the truck. Now if police have flagged the truck through how the **** did they not see the car to begin with? The footage doesn't show how the car got the but the news report said the truck t-boned the car, so did the commodore drive in front of the truck and then stop?

Funny how in almost every stupid accident these days old people are involved...


Jon, these sorts of accidents happen all the time, they generally happen because car drivers like to sit in trucks blind spots in the front left corner, has happened on the Eastern Fwy a few times, on Latrobe terrace etc. Happened at high speed on the Colac rd, unfortunately the old people in the car who merged into the truck(trying to race it to the end of the overtaking lane, truck was overtaking it, car was in the left lane)both were killed probably ruining the truckies life forever.

I am not defending truckies etc here, people just need to be more aware of them. It should be made compulsory for every driver to go for a drive in a HC as part of their licence testing to understand how dangerous cars can be around trucks and how easily accidents can be prevented.

I agree there. Im a truck driver and i see it every day. Some car drivers mentality is i gotta get in front of the truck at all costs whatever it takes and then slow down. The guy in the commodore might have been merging from the left as they was waved through and the truckie didnt see him. If the truck hit him say around the rear quarter it would of spun him sideways on. Lucky for the car driver there wasnt any great speed involved or he may not have walked away. Those flashing lights on cop cars and ambulances can be very bright at night adding to the confusion as well like you said. But like always blame the poor truckie.

i like the seat covers on the commodore....MOOO MOOOO

[Wombat]

Shame the car driver was so old...another twenty years younger and he could have discussed things with the stupid truck driver in the appropriate manner,, by kicking him in the bollocks until his nose bled.

I am ****ed off with people continually backing up truckies, no matter what they have done..."knights of the road", and "without trucks Australia stops" bull****. Drug addled fools for the most part...I mean that most sincerely....the VAST majority do blatantly illegal **** on the road that car drivers would get pulled up for in a minute, but what cop is going to step out in front of a truck and put up his hand for it to stop? My nephew repairs trucks for a living, and has lost count of the times he has been either asked to, or asked how to, reprogram or fiddle with the tachygraph. A blitz on trucks near here recently resulted in some pulled over for drugs, and about five kilometers away, there was a line of trucks who had been warned by CB about the cops, and were furiously fiddling the figures in thier log books. unknown to them, a cop on a bike had snuck up from behind and knocked on doors and booked them all...
I rang Crimestoppers from my mobile a couple of months back about a B-double on the four lane down near Brisbane, up near caboolture. It was bucketing down rain, and visibility was only about a hundred meters at best. (90k's was about the most you could manage safely. He is doing at least 130km/hr (with his lovely "100 speed limited" sticker in plain sight...) and changing lanes amongst the slower cars without indicating. The crimestoppers woman said it was the forth call about different semi's speeding and weaving through the cars on the four lane highway in the pouring rain, when most cars are doing 80 to 90 at best.

Nob ends...

rant finished...

OMG i cant believe that








































why would anyone put those seat covers on?

[keza87]

Maybe this might clarify

Police had attended a crash between two cars and a truck on Centennial Drive at Homebush late last night, where one of the cars was left standing across the left lane with the driver still inside.

Regardless, it was the truckie's fault and he obviously wasn't paying enough attention to notice a car stopped in front of him, plus he still had some speed looking at the video
