Amazing footage of a truck careening at 60 mph along a British freeway with a car trapped sideways on its front bumper emerged Thursday, sparked an investigation.
Video shows a trucker thundering along the A1(M) major road in West Yorkshire, northern England, seemingly oblivious to the automobile trapped under its cab.
The large vehicle was filmed by another motorist for several seconds, with sparks flying from the blue Renault Clio trapped in front.
Haulage company Arclid Transport confirmed the video is not a hoax and that the lady driver in the Clio “got out and walked away.” A spokesman said an investigation was launched into the accident and police were informed.
West Yorkshire Police said officers were aware of the video and would be working with the company to establish the exact circumstances.
