Shocking Dashcam Footage: Car Flips After Collision with Bad Driver
The Dangers of Sharing the Road
Even the most skilled drivers can’t guarantee a safe journey due to the presence of other drivers with varying levels of skill. This short dashcam clip serves as a stark reminder that even when minding their own business, drivers can end up in a rollover accident caused by another motorist’s poor driving.
The Incident
This video was captured by a dashcam in a vehicle traveling south of Columbus, Ohio near Lockbourne. As the driver travels down State Route 23, a Hyundai Tucson overtakes in the left lane and continues in lane one. The SUV passes a truck, and the dashcam car also moves into lane one.
Shortly after passing London Groveport Rd, an older Toyota Camry pulls out of the Budget Inn on the right, crosses lane two, and cuts directly in front of the Hyundai in lane one. The incident happens so quickly that the Tucson driver is unable to react or change course. Despite slamming on the brakes, the Hyundai is launched into the air upon impact and rolls over to the left.
The Aftermath
Surprisingly, the Camry appears relatively undamaged as the dashcam car drives by. The front driver’s side fender, bumper cover, hood, and headlight are all damaged, but the rest of the vehicle seems untouched.
This incident highlights how an SUV like the Tucson can flip over from what initially seemed like a minor collision. Hitting a tire often causes a car to lift into the air, as we’ve seen in similar accidents before.
Ensuring Safety on the Road
Fortunately, the video poster mentions in the description that everyone involved in the crash was unharmed. This serves as a reminder that certain factors on the road, such as bad drivers, cannot be fully controlled. It is essential to prioritize safety and remain vigilant while driving.
