00:00We are in Punta del Este, Uruguay, to show you this accident that could have ended in tragedy.
00:05This happened with a truck, with a man who had been driving it for 64 years,
00:10who had not only the fuel filler on, but also the car in front of him, which was loading fuel at the service station,
00:18and the worker on the left, who ended up with minor injuries.
00:22Luckily, he was transferred to the nearest hospital.
00:26And thank God the fuel filler didn't explode.
00:28Yes, they quickly closed the valves.
00:31What did he want to do?
00:32You know, it's an automatic truck.
00:35So, they understand that what happened had to do with a bad maneuver, or with a problem with the pedal.
00:43Stop drawing my attention, because it's supposed to be easier to drive the automatic gearbox.
00:47Yes, you know how to drive it.
00:48It's easier when you're used to the three pedals, and you trust one.
00:53You think you're pressing the brake, and you press the accelerator.
00:56Yes, but when you change to automatic, after getting used to the other one for a long time, it's different.
01:02Well, this happened in Punta del Este, at a service station.
01:04Quickly, as I was saying, they closed the valves of this truck,
01:07and they proceeded to take it out with a trailer.
01:10The damage caused must be paid, of course, by the insurance of the owner,
01:14which is this truck that we are seeing, a 64-year-old man,
01:18who had a Uruguayan driver's license, which was from there, from Punta del Este,
01:24and it's going to have to be paid by the owner of this truck,
01:28who has the car in front of him, the trailer,
01:31and also the worker who was taken to the nearest hospital there in Uruguay.
