Final Destination - Russian Style

We have repeatedly talked about the dangers of having vehicles of greatly different sizes (and masses) operating on and using the same road system. Things will always go bad, especially if you are on foot and quite close to a roadway, like this Russian man who miraculously survived tens of tons hurdling towards him.
The accident was caused by a truck which attempted to enter a fuel station, probably to buy a 330 ml (10 oz) can of cheap vodka refuel, without so much as a glance to its right, otherwise, its driver would have undoubtedly noticed the other truck speeding towards it and closing in fast.

The crash is extremely spectacular and it is a good show, since nobody got hurt in the process. It does illustrate the dangers of driving any sort of ‘oversized’ vehicle among smaller cars and pedestrians - it is honestly a recipe for disaster.
