Truck driver abandons wheel at 60 km/h before crashing in Veracruz

A truck driver repeatedly left his steering wheel unattended while travelling at more than 60 km/h near Veracruz, Mexico, before losing control and crashing. The in-cab camera shows the man standing up and reaching behind his seat several times, apparently searching for something, while the truck continues along the road without anyone steering.

Moments after he returns to the wheel, the truck begins to veer off course. The driver desperately tries to regain control, but the cab jolts violently, sending a large fan and other loose objects flying around him. Mexican news outlets reported that the truck left the road and overturned, although the driver’s condition has not been independently confirmed.
