A trucking company from Edmonton has posted a video of “road rage game of cat and mouse” that caused one of its trucks to lose its oversized load.
DBI Transport shared video and images in an Instagram post that show why their driver had to perform a hard braking maneuver on June 11 while transporting freight in British Columbia.
The company said in the post that its truck was passed by a 1-ton flatbed with the name “KDL” on the side. Their pilot reported that a piece of drywall came out of the back of this truck, striking a car behind the 1-ton.
“This event led to a road rage game of cat and mouse in front of our driver who did his best to maintain distance until both vehicles ended up in his lane and came to a complete stop,” the company said.
DBI Transport said that its driver took evasive action and performed a hard brake application. The force of the braking application caused the brackets on the underside of the modular to fail, therefore allowing the dolly to slide out from the back of the load. The other vehicles involved left the scene.
The carrier said, “We stand behind the actions taken by our driver to ensure nobody was injured in the events that occurred in front of him. We apologize for the significant travel delays encountered in the area today.”
The company has urged witnesses to contact Kelowna RCMP if they recognized the truck or car in the video.
