Here we have a video that finally clears up the age-old question of “do SUVs and open manhole covers mix”? After watching this video we can safely say no, they certainly don’t.
In yet another example that driving on Russian roads is done purely at your own risk, an SUV meets a shocking untimely end when the driver sends it straight into an open manhole.
It’s pretty shocking to see how lazy the workers were to have left a manhole completely unlocked. You can’t blame the driver for not watching where he was going as the CCTV footage after the dashcam clearly shows the cover was on the manhole before the SUV drove over it.
It’s also further proof that every car should be fitted with a dashcam, just so we don’t miss the likes of this.
The large SUV is unexpectedly flipped over like a toy car when it hits the open hole. Thankfully, with the help of some passers-by, the driver was able to clamber out of the totalled truck unharmed.
So the next time you’re navigating your way around Russian roads make sure to watch out for… absolutely everything.
