Road accident is one of the leading causes of death, besides health related reasons. According to Association For Safe International Road Travel, around 1.3 people lose their lives due to road crashes, creating an average of 3,287 mortality rate per day around the globe. But there are some who were lucky enough not to be included in this list. Among these fortunate people were the drivers of two tanker tracks involved in a traffic collision in Russia.
A video which was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday shows two Russian gas tankers collide. The footage was filmed by a passenger car driving behind a freight truck. The road seemed to be unsafe for travel because it as raining. In fact, before the collision happened, a lorry from the other lane was seen dangerously driving.
Then, a tanker with a red cab was seen swerving on the wet road to the center of the highway and crashing into another truck which caused a great explosion. But despite the huge fireball, the driver of one of the lorries was able to go out of his vehicle seemingly unhurt and jumped into the red cab to check the other driver.
The driver who’s filming the scene was wise enough to have slowly driven in reverse away from the smoking wreckage.
What happened was like a scene straight out of a movie!
