Truck driver reverses on the highway; causes 9-hour runway lock – VIDEO
Change language:
Over the past couple of years, but especially in 2022, the number of traffic accidents seems to be increasing.
Apart from people’s carelessness or lack of attention while driving, drunk driving and breaking the highway code are also common causes of traffic accidents.
Already at the beginning of the year, several tragic accidents were reported at railway crossings. Within the first couple of days of 2022, around six people lost their lives in such accidents.
Quite recently, a truck driver caused a serious accident when he tried to correct his mistake of missing the exit on a Hungarian highway.
Dumbfoundingly, instead of proceeding to the next exit, the truck driver decided to stop in the middle of the M4 highway and put his truck in reverse to try to reach the exit he had missed, Origo writes.
Hungarian Public Roads published a video about the incident on their Instagram page. One of their surveillance cameras recorded the accident near Abony.

As you can see in the video, a truck from the oncoming traffic failed to notice the other truck, violating the highway code and reversing, so they collided with little to no deceleration.
