Highway crashes are always intense, but a recent accident of this sort that took place in Taiwan took this to a whole new level of absurdness. To put things in a different perspective, the accident showed all the vehicles around what it’s like to drive on... chickens.
We’ll have to start by mentioning no chicken was harmed in the accident, since the small truck we are talking about was transporting frozen poultry. There was quite a lot of it in the cargo area and it all ended up across the three lanes of the highway when the vehicle hit a semi.
The driver of the truck, which was traveling on the first lane, did not notice the semi until it was too late - he braked to avoid an impact and then veered left, but the aforementioned cargo area smashed into the rear of the semi.
Nothing sort of chicken chaos emerged - these pieces of frozen meat may look harmless, but we have to keep in mind that since they were frozen, they can easily cause a driver to lose control at highway speeds. We actually see a Toyota making all sorts of maneuvers in order to avoid crashing itself.
According to GlobalLeaks, which uploaded the video, the driver of the truck escaped the crash without serious injury.
