OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! that first video!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!

That first one was very serious business for those pedestrians on the bridge walk. The guy on the left is probably gone and the 2 on the right...Where'd they end up? They should have some kind of safety where the truck driver can't get that truck out of first gear if the dump is up.

The pedestrian's fault.? Huh?? He's walking on the bridge minding his own business. You'd be like a deer caught in headlights, too, cowboy. You would have gone down just like he did, there was no way he was going to escape the accident. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time....nothing he could do.

na...id have run back...or not use one of those death traps to begin with...lol...not saying he was completely at fault...truck driver sucks big time...but situational awareness.

In that first video the people in the tunnel suffer from that human instinct freeze fight or run.The Truck driver is totally in the wrong!!He must have switched the PTO off to be going that fast and be ignoring the height warning light on the dash!!!!! The PTO must be working or else he'd not be able to tip..What a (fill in your own blank).

I think that first one is awful. Those poor people caught on the bridge. That guy on the left notices it but can't react quick enough to do anything about it.
I agree that these lorries and trucks should have a warning and the ignition cut out or something. I mean, our ignition cuts out when we have our sidestand on and try to go into first gear.
