18-Wheeler Topples Over in Canada

We cannot stress enough how dangerous driving alongside and amongst big-rig trucks can be. After a Russian truck toppled over and another one crashed into multiple other cars causing explosions, it’s now time for a Canadian truck driver to get his rig onto its side.
The incident is filmed with a dashcam mounted in another truck, and we can see that it was a tight bend that made the other truck topple over, probably due to excessive speed as well as the fact that it was raining. Despite the fact that it was on its side, the toppled 18-wheeler still had plenty of momentum left and it nearly hit the other truck.

Thanfully, the driver of the rig with the dashcam managed to swerve to the right, just enough to allow the toppled-over truck to just slide on by. Also, despite the apparent severity of the incident, the driver of the toppled truck only suffered minor injuries.
