Mmoteng Pass Road Traffic Collision

Description

[@molebatsi69]

The driver did not actually jump. The truck was parked on the side of the road on an incline from the one attempting to drive up. What happened was that the driver had not applied the hand brakes properly and after some time they got disengaged whilst the driver was on the ground chatting with on-lookers.

I have been up this pass... you keep going up and up and up for hours....I was going to Mokhotlong... Im not surpriced that truck came down slipping... he hit brakes too late..slipery... the road is extremely steep...ths bigh trucks are heavy....You literally rise above 3000m above sea level...The other truck that had broken down, its engine couldnt take the load anymore...the area is steep and on this pass one keeps climbing and climbing non stop!

[@hermanduplessis3146]

Idiot, you don't go up for hours

[@virginiafry9854]

It looks as though the driver of the truck going downhill jumped out of the cab before the truck came into view of the camera!

[@ikgothule6463]

Negligence at its best

[@rus111aaa]

Да уж! Кто скажет? Как это все кончилось? Такое узкое место. Как их оттуда вывезли?

[@wilfredkaavara3476]

Driver jumped out of the truck, wow

[@trackworker9826]

wonderful planning all around. Can we get an IQ test for driving please?

[@Oyashirochama13]

Runaway truck most likely total accident, brakes could have just been checked and still failed due to overheating. It happens, should have moved into the hill to the right of the camera though or tried some engine braking to resolve some of the speed(it won't stop it but it will pull some of the speed off).

[@sothoworrior]

I have been up this road, on my way to Mokhotlong...believe me, it is not a matter of ID.. this road is sooo steep and slippery especially in Winter during snow... you can clearly see that the truck driver had brakes on but it was too late...the truck is heavy and kept slipping. He did a good joy to try to turn and avoid headon collusion...And above all, he must be glad he is still alive. The roads are so high on the mauntain... any slip means death!

[@ikgothule6463]

Those trucks are un Roadworthy

[@thapelowilliamjack7150]

The driver of truck must be arrested,,, he should have tested it first before he left his location

[@alanwicks3061]

Truck drivers need a special skill level on Lesotho passes...not an easy job!

[@ikgothule6463]

Lesotho passes are very minute.....go to vanrhyn pass sorry my spelling and check if your pass is a real pass
