A woman posted several videos of a trailer truck whose side had split apart on the road but didn’t stop or pull over to the side of the road for at least a mile. Footage shows the truck driver about to make a right onto an expressway until a cop in a white patrol car shows up. Some commenters on the videos told the woman that she should have minded her business, despite the fact that the truck could have caused a major accident.
Woman explains how the truck’s side split open
TikTok user @gella_joy posted the first video of the broken trailer truck on July 19 that shows the side of the vehicle about to fall off.
The driver seemed to realize that something was wrong and had turned on the emergency lights, but it continued to move down the two-lane street without stopping. The trailer’s side is split so widely that it is seen hitting the branches of a tree.
Then in a follow-up video, which has been viewed over 3 million times and has garnered over 160,000 likes, the same truck is seen about to head into an intersection.
The woman says she had called the cops to deal with the situation and that the truck had not stopped for about a mile before a patrol car with flashing lights flags it down. The police also signaled for her to pull over too, so that she could explain what happened.
On July 27, the user posted a third video due to comments she read on the viral video. She claims that she witnessed the entire incident, alleging that the truck broke apart because the top of the trailer had hit the bottom of a bridge.
In response to comments that she should have minded her business and shouldn’t have called the cops, she alleges that the truck had hit a tree and dragged it along with trailer, with the tree nearly hitting her car. That’s why she started recording the video in the first place.
