Truckie collides with merging car in the dash cam video that has Australia divided
Horrifying footage of a truckie colliding with a merging car in NSW has emerged, in the shocking dash cam video that has viewers around Australia divided.
The incident, which was posted on Dash Cam Owners Australia, occurred on the M4 at Merrylands and is a shocking reminder of the dangers of heavy vehicles on motorways.
Mark Wearne, who was behind the wheel of the truck, claims he was driving at 3.30pm on Wednesday when the sedan abruptly merged in front.
“Two days ago, I had an accident. a car merges out in front of me. You can hear a gasp of air. Just before the initial hit, then she stopped dead and got hit a second time (no surprise there), after a few F bombs, I made sure she was ok,” he wrote.
“I also saw she had a kid with her, I’ve gone from being super angry to being exceptionally upset, In very dangerous situation, the whole time I had my eye on her passenger door, waiting for the kid to jump out and potentially become road kill. I asked her (very politely and calmly) for her to move her car, she refused, I just wanted them both of the road, so I asked again and again, each time my anger and frustration is building to boiling point. In her second stupid move for the day, she approaches the truck and demands my licence, I told her not to worry about that now, and that she needs to move her car immediately, again she refused and demanded my licence, that’s when flew off the handle, only this time she moved her car. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
“She and her little boy were perfectly fine, that was my main concern, especially toward the little boy. Seeing her being taken to hospital, I’d get over it, but not the kid, that would destroy me. I make no apologies for yelling at her, it was a necessary evil.”
