Wobbly Trailer Causes Kamaz Truck to Crash in Russia

Massive Truck Crash 1 photo

When a trailer, towed behind a truck (not an 18-wheeler) begins to wobble, its movement only gets worse as it is further towed along. This Russian driver demonstrates the point, and ultimately crashes his truck in a very nasty and violent way.
However, in this video, it seems that the old Opel Corsa, which is overtaking at the video’s midpoint, returns to the lane too soon, causing the truck to veer right, and crash. We first thought it was a very violent earthquake which was making the trailer behave in such an odd way, but it turns out it wasn’t the case, and it had just gone out of balance.

The driver doesn`t appear to have been hurt in the crash, as the front part of the truck was raised in the air in the crash, and it did not hit any obstacles directly. Still, a very odd video, and a very odd crash.
