This Dog Managed To Drive A Massive Truck Across The Road
The locals of Mankato, Minnesota were no doubt confused and concerned to see what appeared to be an unmanned truck trundling across Highway 169, but proceedings only got weirder. The vehicle mounted a kerb, hit a tree and a parked car before a bystander was able to get in the cabin and bring the runaway truck to a stop, upon which the cause of the incident was discovered: a dog.
Yep, it turned out the owner’s labrador had put the idling lorry into gear, sending it on a collision course. Fortunately no one was injured in this bizarre incident. According to Mankato Free Press, the police took the truck off the road and logged an accident report. Whether or not the owner will be charged for leaving his vehicle running with an adventurous pooch in the cabin, we’ll have to wait and see….

This was the work of James May.
It was a ‘Doge Ram’.
I see what you did there 😄
and his driving was a little ruff
Why?? 😂😂😂😂
That dog was probably a better truck driver than more than half the truck drivers I see on I-81 Virginia… Anytime there is a major accident; I am not for sure what happened, but I do know it involved a lorry
such incident,so much skill
When you’re a dog but delivering car parts is life.
The dog didn’t put it in gear all he did was the truck would be left in the neutral and he released the parking air brake and the truck rolled forward. Also the clutches aren’t very light and automatic trucks are extremely rare. I only know this cause I can drive an tandem (dump truck).
How can you say automatic trucks are rare. Most of them are equipped with A/T nowadays.
Sometimes, things do get weird here in MN.
When your cat parts dont arrive on time
So THAT is where Top Gear Dog went!
