momentum doc.
poor idiot din't think giving way with hard braking with a 20-50T (probably sliding) load at that back would end his life.
at least the brakes work... good job by his employer
According to a witness, the incident occurred when the concrete girder slid and penetrated the truckhead after the driver slammed on his brakes with full force to give way to a passing vehicle along E. Rodriguez.

August 10th, 2020 12:52 PM #357I don't think issue with braking. Fact is that giant concrete girder is only attached to the dollies carrying it on a few points, so there's not much friction to be had. Can't expect cables to fully arrest such a heavy load either.
Malas lang talaga. In hindsight he shouldn't have braked for that car, or he should have been driving even slower.
