Russia, Sakhalin Island
"The accident occurred on the Kholmsky Pass on Sakhalin Island. Roadworks are underway in this area—a trench has been dug across the roadway to lay a pipe.
According to eyewitnesses, the dump truck driver was traveling down the pass and, probably out of habit, drove straight along the old route, hit a trench, lost control, and veered into oncoming traffic at speed.
The truck sped past an oncoming shift truck, then crashed into a concrete barrier and fell off a cliff. The impact was so forceful that the front of the vehicle was literally torn apart, and the engine was thrown out.
The impact scattered parts of the car in different directions. According to eyewitnesses, one of the wheels was thrown toward a nearby gas station.
According to eyewitnesses, the driver survived, was in severe shock, but managed to escape from the cab on his own. The incident was captured on an eyewitness' dashcam."
