Two tractors collided and almost fell off the overpass
AmericaThe road was slippery and wet, the truck had its brake lights on when it just got on the overpass and immediately lost control and crashed into a truck the same afternoon, on April 25 in San Antonio.
Situation: Video recorded from a car with a dash cam in the same direction behind it shows that a tractor-trailer runs quite fast and catches up with a tractor-trailer in the same direction when it has just reached the overpass. But the driver also stepped on the brake quickly, while the road was wet and slippery, going uphill and cornering.
Attempts to slow down caused the tractor to lose control, crashed into the left barie and then turned back, crashing into the second tractor. The first car then veered to the left barie again, almost falling down with the front end of the car over the median, while the crashed car turned sideways and stopped in the middle of the road.
The accident caused a section of I-10 to be blocked for a few hours. According to local officials, fortunately no one was injured, but both tractors were badly damaged.
Skills to remember: When driving in the rain or on watery roads, it is necessary to keep a moderate speed and keep a safe distance from surrounding vehicles. Rain water will reduce the friction between the tire and the road, making driving more difficult. The braking distance until the vehicle stops is therefore also increased. Normally, the distance between two cars is at least 25m, so on wet roads, drivers may need twice that distance or more to ensure safety.
