AMAZING Close Call – SEMI Truck ALMOST Takes Out Multiple Cars

This video gives all new meaning to “drive it like you stole it” or rather “drive it like your equipment has failed.” When the brakes on this semi truck stop working, it causes quite the path of destruction.

Watch as the behemoth barrels through this intersection, taking out 15 cars and 3 buses. This had to be a petrifying experience as other drivers could do nothing but stand by and watch with their lives flash in front of their eyes.

With all things considered, it doesn’t look like this situation ended that poorly. While some property may have been banged up, it looks like death was avoided. This crash could very easily could have become worse if someone was hit directly.

Catch the video below as a nearby dash cam caught the entire thing on video.

Maybe it’s time for this driver to step up to Volvo’s autonomous braking system.
