The storyteller describes a moment of caution as he approached the city and spotted a speed limit sign. In the distance, a heavy truck emerged from a parking area where long-haul drivers rest overnight and rolled onto the road.

A small pickup passed by, followed by a heavy truck coming from the opposite direction, yet the narrator managed to dodge the oncoming danger. He then encountered a small white car, and the scene shifts into the footage: a collision unfolds that appears unavoidable until the impact occurs.

Then an odd sequence unfolds: the driver seems to scan the lineup of vehicles, perhaps searching for a target. The footage creator noted this moment and slowed the pace, yet the heavy truck seemed to set its sights on him as a possible victim.

Shortly afterward, a pickup left a gas station and a trailer drew near, forcing the video author to steer away to prevent a critical strike.

As the events unfold, bystanders gather, including some of the injured. Curiosity mixes with concern as witnesses wonder why the trailer driver behaved so erratically. The man ultimately locked himself inside the truck and drew the curtains, while the video author managed to disrupt the truck’s braking system until authorities arrived. The footage was handed over to law enforcement as evidence, and the driver was subsequently taken into custody on criminal charges, according to the attending officer.

In online discussions, viewers joked that autopilot features might explain some of the truck’s odd moves, jokingly suggesting that “zombies are coming and the apocalypse has begun.” Many people praised the video author for his quick thinking; without disconnecting the air hoses in time, the outcome could have been far worse.
