Truck cabin folds after semi-trailer collision

Driving fast on a slippery road, a truck lost control, swerving into the oncoming lane before spinning back and hitting a semi-trailer traveling in the same direction.

Dashcam footage from the semi-trailer captured the moment a red truck, attempting to overtake from behind, lost control. Following the impact, the truck's cabin flipped forward. The accident occurred around 3:32 PM on 24/2 on the BR-040 highway in Congonhas, Minas Gerais, where the road surface was slippery.

The truck driver sustained injuries in the incident. The highway management unit promptly deployed inspection vehicles, rescue teams, and ambulances to the scene.

A section of the road was blocked, causing a traffic jam that stretched for about 1 km. All lanes were cleared by 7 PM the same day. Local police advised drivers to reduce speed, maintain a safe distance, and avoid sudden braking when traveling in wet conditions or with reduced visibility.

Semi-trailers possess significant inertia, meaning an impact against this force can cause a truck's front section to fold very quickly, posing a high risk of serious injury to occupants in the cabin.
