You can see the footage here.

INCREDIBLE footage has emerged of a truck piling into a car and carrying it 100m down a Sydney road - with the truckie completely unaware.

The dramatic incident happened overnight in Homebush West, western Sydney.

Police had stopped at a minor traffic incident involving two cars and a truck at Centenary Drive Northbound, just after the Hume Hwy overpass, around 9.30pm.

A witness who was filming the incident explains: “The first car was changing a tyre in the centre lane. It was quiet a dangerous position.

“As I was filming I turned around to see a large semi-trailer only several feet from me, pushing a car at right angles down the only lane that was still operating.

“Police were quick to notice the situation yelling out to the driver and having to chase it down to get it to stop.

“In all the truck pushed the car almost 100m down Centenary Drive before it stopped. “The driver was questioned for some time before being released and the driver of the car was examined by Ambulance Officers on scene.”

Footage shows the truck come past, pursued by the frantic officers on foot - and then reveals the car and its shocked occupant.

It is believed there were no serious injuries. Police are investigating.

Reminds me a bit of the wheelchair story.

I was in a convoy quite a few years back, and when we pulled over for fuel we noticed that the last truck in the line had a motorcycle (with what was left of the motorcycle’s rider) wrapped all around the rear axle.  Nobody had a clue how long he’d been there.

“Where did he come from?”

“He was in front of you! How the hell d’you think he got like that?”
