In the video, the signboard can be seen dislodging from the lorry due to the vehicle's high speed. The large sign then soars into the middle lane, creating an alarming situation for other motorists. Another dashcam video from a vehicle behind captured the tense moment when a car had to brake suddenly to avoid colliding with the airborne signboard.
The exact location of the incident remains unknown, but the footage highlights the serious risk posed by unsecured cargo on highways. Fortunately, despite the dangerous circumstances, no injuries were reported.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of securing all items on vehicles, especially when traveling at high speeds. Unsecured loads not only endanger the lives of other road users but can also lead to significant damage and disruption.
