“This type of accident is only seen in the movies”.
When Tomas Dorado grabs his phone to film the accident he has just witnessed (our video above), Friday, December 2, on the road to Santa Clarita in California, he is far from doubting that he is about to witness a scene as dangerous as it is surreal.
While a semi-trailer and an SUV collided in front of him, and first aid was already dispatched to the scene to take care of the injured and secure the area, a truck driving on a motorway ramp just above the scene of the accident swerved, and crashed into the two damaged vehicles.

Luckily, none of the rescue workers on site were injured, and no one was in the SUV or the semi-trailer when the truck fell.
A total of three different accidents took place at the same location, and three injured people were taken to hospital.
Bad weather conditions and heavy rains would be one of the determining factors in this series of accidents, according to local authorities.
