Truck crash in Manningham, Adelaide, wipes out bus stop after driver faints at the wheel

Shocking footage captured the moment a runaway truck plowed through streetlights, a bus stop and multiple front yards after the driver passed out behind the wheel.

The B-double truck was traveling on Hamstead Road in Manningham, central Adelaide, just after 10am on Tuesday, when it suddenly began to veer off the road.

Dashcam footage shows the truck heading to the nearby sidewalk and demolishing everything in its path, including a bus stop and several trees.

Eventually it came to a stop in a hedgerow a few yards from a house.

Miraculously, no one was hurt during the terrifying incident, but a great path of destruction was left.

Motorist Paul Brackley managed to capture the truck on his car’s dash cam and said he was nearly struck by the runaway vehicle.

“He completely lost control and was closing in on me, so I put my foot on the accelerator to get away,” he said. nine news.

It is understood that the 31-year-old truck driver had passed out behind the wheel and collapsed onto the console when Mr Brackley ran over to help him.

The truck had not only driven through fences and hedges, but had also driven through a busy intersection.

“(The driver) had blood on his face, but he looked fine other than that,” Brackley said.

The 31-year-old driver of the truck is understood to have passed out at the wheel before crashing into a utility pole (above) and a bus stop.

‘The truck was making the hell of a noise when I got there and I was thinking, could it explode? Or what could happen?

Mr Brackley said it was a “miracle” that no one was killed, not a single pedestrian on the sidewalk or in their front yards during the crash.

The truck driver was taken to the hospital with photos of the scene showing the vehicle’s windshield completely smashed while nearby trees were scattered on the ground.
