The incident occurred when a small truck, overloaded with unsecured bricks, was traveling quickly. It approached a section of road that narrowed due to a car parked close to the right curb and several motorcycles parked on the left, whose riders were shopping on the sidewalk. At that moment, another truck approached from the opposite direction. The driver of the brick-laden truck abruptly swerved and braked suddenly. This sharp maneuver caused the bricks to spill from the truck bed, narrowly missing a parked car and a motorcycle carrying two people. Fortunately, pedestrians managed to avoid the falling debris.

Driving skills: When navigating residential areas, narrow roads, or sections with limited visibility, drivers must reduce speed and be prepared for unexpected situations. Cargo, especially construction materials like bricks and stones, must be securely covered, fastened, or partitioned in the truck bed to ensure safety. Loosely stacked tall loads are prone to spilling when a vehicle brakes sharply or takes a turn.

Furthermore, other vehicles should not arbitrarily park opposite each other, creating "bottlenecks" that obstruct visibility and narrow the road for other traffic. Vehicles should also avoid driving parallel to or too close behind trucks carrying construction materials to prevent risks from falling or scattering cargo.
