Comments
Garbage truck drivers are thoroughly trained to avoid collisions, especially those of a serious nature such as overturned vehicles. Not only are garbage trucks massive, but they mostly travel through residential areas. This makes the need for safe driving tactics supremely important. Nobody other drivers or pedestrians were injured in this accident, but most situations will not be that lucky.
