An SUV crashed into a pickup truck in Abu Dhabi after the driver changed lanes at the last minute on a busy highway. The Abu Dhabi Police shared a clip of the accident on Friday, highlighting the dangers of sudden deviation and reckless overtaking.
In the footage, the orange SUV is seen changing lanes right as he exits a major road. This, however, was only the first violation.
The motorist then drives towards the left lane of a diverging road but, at the last minute, the vehicle shifts to the right, bypassing restricted lines, and ends up hitting a pickup truck.
The impact was so bad that the truck's rear end jumped and went sideways.
