Two cars crashed and flipped over at the intersection after running a red light for 4 seconds.
There were only a few seconds left before the light turned green, but the pickup truck driver couldn't wait, and the result was inevitable.
Currently, in addition to the traffic light system, the authorities have installed countdown clocks at intersections. This has been in place since 2006 to help people travel comfortably and proactively stop their vehicles when encountering red lights. However, not everyone drives calmly and slowly.
A video clip from a dash cam has just gone viral on Facebook, recording a traffic accident caused by a pickup truck driver being hasty and careless when crossing an intersection.

In the video, viewers can clearly see that when the countdown clock had 4 seconds left, the driver of the white pickup truck seemed to be complacent and showed no signs of slowing down. As a result, the pickup truck was hit from the side by the truck. The collision occurred at high speed, causing both vehicles to flip over in the middle of the intersection.

The countdown clock had 4 seconds left, it was too late for the 2 drivers to correct their mistakes. |
The incident attracted great attention in the OtoFun community because it is not uncommon for drivers to rush through intersections when the light is only a few seconds away from turning green.

According to some members, the incident occurred in Hung Ha district, Thai Binh province. |
Member Nguyen Minh Duc analyzed the situation: "The red light had 6 seconds left when the pickup truck had already crossed the line. Logically, the truck was still following the law, and the light was still green when it crossed the line." Member Dung Vu, who often passes through this area, warned: "This area is dangerous at night, when the red light turns yellow, at the intersection it is pitch black, there are no street lights. I have passed this section several times at night and have to go slowly and observe carefully."

It can be seen that empty streets help us to move around much easier, but it also has many potential dangers that if we let go and are subjective, it can lead to unpredictable accidents. Hopefully, this will be a lesson to warn some people to gradually give up the habit of driving in a hurry, whether by car or motorbike.
