Shocking moment an out-of-control truck veers off the road, ploughs into traffic poles and demolishes a bus stop as motorists look on in horror
- A truck lost control in Adelaide
- It crashed into a street light and bus stop
- No one was seriously injured
Shocking footage has captured the moment an out-of-control truck ploughed through street lights, a bus stop and several front yards after the driver fainted behind the wheel.
The B-double truck had been travelling along Hamstead Road in Manningham, central Adelaide, just after 10am on Tuesday when it suddenly started to veer off the road.
Dashcam footage shows the truck heading onto the nearby footpath and demolishing everything in its way including a bus shelter and several trees.
It eventually came to a stop in a row of hedges just metres away from a home.
Miraculously, nobody was injured during the terrifying incident but a huge path of destruction was left behind.

Motorist Paul Brackley managed to capture the truck on his car’s dashcam and said he was nearly hit by the out-of-control vehicle.
‘He completely lost control, and he was coming into me so I put my foot on the accelerator to get away,’ he told Nine News.
It’s understood the 31-year-old truck driver had fainted behind the wheel, and was slumped over the console when Mr Brackley rushed over to help.
The truck had not only smashed straight through fences and hedges but had also gone through a busy intersection.
‘(The driver) had blood on his face but he looked ok, apart from that,’ Mr Brackley said.

‘The truck was making a hell of a noise when I got there and I was thinking, could it blow up? Or what could happen?’
Mr Brackley said it was a ‘miracle’ nobody was killed, with not a single pedestrian on the sidewalk or in their front yards during the crash.
The truck driver was taken to hospital with photos from the scene showing the vehicle’s windscreen completely shattered while nearby trees were scattered across the ground.
