A CCTV footage of the accident has now emerged and gone viral. In the footage, the truck is seen driving down the four-lane expressway before veering to the right and suddenly taking a sharp turn to the left in an attempted U-turn. The car that rammed into the truck was right behind and was caught off-guard by the sudden turn.
