POLICE were looking for the driver of a truck that smashed into a vehicle waiting for the lights to change at the Arboretum (canal robots) intersection on the John Ross Parkway on Thursday evening.
The Land Rover Discovery, driven by a local medical professional, proceeding east on the highway towards Meerensee, had stopped for the red light when the truck – apparently without braking – smashed into it from the rear.
The truck ripped apart the entire right-hand side of the Discovery, mounted the centre island and steam-rolled over the traffic light pole before continuing on its way without stopping.
While a passing motorist chased after the truck, the driver of the Discovery was, amazingly, uninjured and able to get out of the wreck.
Had the truck collided full-on into the rear of his vehicle, it would almost certainly have resulted in his death or serious injury.
Trucks on this road has no respect for anybody, they drive like hooligans and always speeding. I have reported a couple of them to their head offices, but nothing gets done.
I just think its pathetic the way the innocent get caught up it accidents etc…the unruly always gets away
Thank God for his mercy, thank the Brits for some fantastic auto engineering – find the driver and shoot the S.O.B.
Its a fact that luxurious cars are safe if it was a tazz the driver would have passed on.
