CONNECTICUT, USA — Early on Wednesday morning, a state trooper and truck driver saw something reminiscent of a movie.
While the state trooper was stopped at a crash on I-95 in Stonington, an oncoming truck slammed on its brake. The truck was carrying nearly two dozen 43' steel pipes used for gas lines. The pipes weigh 1,500lbs.
The sudden stop caused two of the pipes to slide forward over the cab of the truck and onto the road. The front of the cab was crushed due to the force and weight of the pipe.
One can see from the video how close one of the metal pipes comes to hitting the officer's car.
