A chilling video captured by surveillance cameras has emerged, showing the exact moment a trailer without functional brakes careened into a car on the Puebla-Orizaba highway on December 20. The incident, which could have been catastrophic, resulted in the trailer’s driver losing control of the vehicle due to the brake failure.
The stunning footage, obtained from social media, depicts a devastating collision where the trailer, seemingly out of control, smashes into the back of a helpless car. The impact is so powerful that the trailer continues to drag the car along the highway for several seconds before coming to a halt.
Fortunately, it has been reported that the occupants of the car were not severely injured, although they were understandably shaken by the ordeal. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of regular vehicle maintenance, particularly the timely servicing of brakes.
