Machines | ★ Cement Truck Flips Over, Crashes in College Station
videos | at work | information | view | construction
A College Station man walked away with his life and video of an accident that could have been much worse. Dr. Guan Zhu, a professor at Texas A&M University, was driving his Toyota Sienna minivan north on Wellborn road around 2:30 Tuesday afternoon, coming to a stop at the Rock Prairie intersection when a cement truck driver coming from the opposite direction ran the red light and lost control, causing his truck to roll over and smash into Dr. Zhu's van. Incredibly, Dr. Zhu only suffered minor injuries. He installed a dash camera about a year ago in case he was involved in an accident. It came in handy today, as you can see from the video with this story. "It's what happened, you know, I could not remember in my memory, a truck is coming, and I could not remember exactly how it happened and then the video says that's how it happened, kind of turning like 45 degrees before it hits my vehicle," Dr. Zhu said. The driver of the cement truck did not suffer major injuries and was given a ticket at the scene. The truck spilled its load of cement all over the northbound lanes of Wellborn. It took crews several hours to clean up the mess. http://brandplaza.ro

First time I've heard of an asian driver being the victim.

That was the best evasive driving I've ever seen. The truck driver couldn't have placed the truck in a better position to cause minimal damage. I hope the ticket he got was to pick up his medal of honor.

At least the Dr. didn't need to call a Dr.
-
News can be very dangerous👎🏽
-
concrete evidence!
-
I watched a cement truck turn a corner and tip over onto a small pickup with a man and a baby. The man was squeezed like a grape but he pushed his baby to the far side and the baby survived. Cement truck driver was driviing too fast...

People should try driving a redi mix truck before they comment on a truck driver's driving . Not as easy as it looks .
-
As horrific as this accident was, and still no body killed,
-
Dirty mixer truck, old ass mack truck, probably got so much build up you can weigh it! the worst Ive ever seen just about, do they hire truck drivers with dwi's too?
-
If he stayed in china he wouldn't of got hit
-
nnnnnnnooooo not the sienna , what a waste of a mini van
-
That was not a cement truck, it was a concrete truck!
-
Can someone link me to the truck actually hitting the car! I can't find any on here!
-
At least we have concrete evidence.
-
Why does every Asian drive a mini van
-
Why they gotta reply it 8 times lol
-
To my fellow concrete drivers, please look up and remember newton's three laws of motion as much as you can.

Abe, he swerved to miss the white pickup, so somebody blew a light. His speed would indicate he either had the right of way (green), or ran a red light. It's not too hard to get distracted driving a large vehicle. I drive a Volvo with a 53' reefer, and I live with the fear of someone pulling out in front of me every day. These things don't stop on a dime:)

Wow his Toyota van held up remarkably well
-
Did he blow the red light, or maybe brake failure? Looked like cross traffic had green for left turn.
