Truck Rolls Back After Losing Brakes And Crashes Into Hyundai Grand i10: Dashcam Video

One thing that drivers on Indian roads lack is discipline. Irrespective of the size of the vehicle, reckless driving is a common sight on our roads. Thanks to this irresponsible behaviour, it often leads to accidents too. It is because of these surprises on the road that many have started installing dashcams in their cars. We have seen dashcam footage of several accidents from different parts of the country. Here we have one such video where a truck rolled back and crashed into a Hyundai Grand i10 after losing its brakes. The family travelling inside the car was traumatised.

The video has been shared by Prateek Singh on his YouTube channel. The video was shared with him by one of his followers from West Bengal. As per the video, the owner of the dashcam car was travelling with his family in their Hyundai Grand i10.

They were travelling through Jharkhand when the accident happened. In the video, we can see that the car was passing through a narrow two-lane road that went through a village. There were not many vehicles on the road, and the car was maintaining a speed within the limits.

As the car moved a few hundred metres ahead, they spotted a truck in front of them. The truck was actually rolling back and was coming towards them. Before the driver could realise what was happening, the truck rolled back and crashed into the car.

The audio from the cabin is muted as the family was completely traumatised by this accident. They were screaming for their lives in the cabin. The truck crashed into the car and continued to roll back with the Grand i10 wedged between the road and the truck. The truck dragged the car for a few metres before coming to a stop on flat ground.

The A-pillar, windshield, fender, doors, and window glasses were all damaged in this crash. It looks like the underride guard on the truck is what saved the occupants in the car from getting crushed. The family was, in fact, extremely lucky to have escaped this accident without any serious injuries. However, what happened after the accident is even more surprising.

As mentioned above, the accident happened in Jharkhand. The owner of the car claimed that the truck had reversed and crashed into the car. The truck driver claimed that the truck lost its brakes, and that is the reason why it rolled back.

The owner claims that despite the truck causing a major accident like this, the local police were not ready to take action. In fact, the cops didn’t register a formal complaint and didn’t even care to investigate the cause of the crash. It should be noted that there was no helper present in the truck to guide the driver while reversing.

It is also not clear whether the truck actually lost its brakes or if the driver was simply lying. The car owner mentions that the cops actually harassed them and didn’t offer them the much-needed help.
