This is stunningly crazy. It's not clear to me if he hits an overhead line that we can't see, or touches a live wire beside the roadway. BESIDES being crazy enough to transport a fully extended crane down the highway...

Looks like he hits some power boxes on the side of the road... Or maybe got hit by lightning?

I wonder if that's just the camera reacting to the strobe marker lights.

The traffic following him doesn't seem as concerned as it would be if he hit something.

Turn your speakers on, there is a bang with each flash.

You're right.

Can someone translate and say what is going on? The narrator notes a problem just before the first bang.

More than a few things wrong here

Car crashes caught on camera: Vehicle hauling car on trailer loses control and flips trail - YouTube

Thats exactly what happened to me some 8 years ago. exactly... i was just hauling wooden floor planks of 5 meter length, the front gate of the trailer broke off because of rust, and took the planks with them, putting the center of gravity behind the trailer axles so it was lifting the rear of the car...

Many years ago I used to own Fiat 125. For those who are not familiar with car it was 1500 cc in line four, rear wheel drive car, about 1050 kg/2200 lb heavy. I needed to transport freshly cut pine boards from the lumber mill about 25 km to my home. The boards were mixed lengths but most of them were about 5 m (16.5 ft). I borrowed a boat trailer from a friend of mine because it was long enough for the intended load. Loaded trailer was most likely significantly heavier than the car. When transporting first load I drove quite slow, second load somewhat faster and the third last and heaviest load I got quite bold. Big mistake. I was going mild downslope toward a traffic light when it flipped to yellow and then red. I stepped on the brake and locked the wheels. There was smoke coming from the tires while I just shot cross the intersection.

And the skid marks probably weren't just on the road. :laughing:

Sorry. I couldn't resist. :dance1:
