The rise of dashboard cameras or ‘dash cams’ has soared over the last few years and they’ve caught some pretty ridiculous footage along the way. Whether it be a car hitting a bull trying to mount a cow, footage of an SUV nosediving into another car or a video of a horrific plane crash in Afghanistan, they’re constantly catching something outrageous happening that would otherwise never been seen again.

The main reason for these dash cams, as you may or may not know, is to guard against insurance fraud as video evidence tends to overcome the issue of one person’s word against another’s in a court battle. Just how many people buy the cameras for this purpose, I’m a bit dubious about.
I’m sure many are going out in their droves to buy them, hoping to be ‘that guy’ who caught some unbelievable incident on film to gain two seconds of fame. Now this lorry driver from Indiana, US, could have bought his dash cam for insurance purposes or he could of bought it hoping to catch something insane on film and if he did, he’s definitely got his wish.

Now here at Sick Chirpse, as much as we love a crazy video or two, we also like the odd happy ending. Fortunately, the driver and his 7-year-old son, who was in the lorry with him, escaped with only minor injuries.
