A shocking video was released on social media showing the exact moment a worker was run over by a truck.
In the footage, a worker is seen getting off a cargo truck and walking toward the dock. However, at the same time, the heavy vehicle began to reverse, unaware that the subject was standing right behind it. The worker also seemed unaware that the vehicle was moving in reverse.
In a matter of seconds, and without anyone else being able to prevent it, the vehicle crushed the worker against the dock structure, causing internal injuries so severe that, by the time emergency services arrived, there was nothing they could do to save his life.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to reports on social media, although there is no official information corroborating the man’s death.
This incident has sparked a heated debate on social media about the importance of implementing more effective measures in loading areas, such as motion sensors, additional cameras, and trained personnel to guide the movement of heavy vehicles.
Authorities are expected to investigate this accident and release more information about what actually happened, as well as an update on the victim’s condition or, if applicable, death.
According to unofficial reports, the incident occurred in China; however, there is no information specifying the city or day of the fatal accident.
