Plywood Flies Out Of GMC Sierra Bed, Hits Another GMC Sierra: Video

Many motorists know the feeling of driving on the highway behind a pickup truck or tractor trailer with a load that looks inadequately secured. We usually drop back a couple of car lengths or switch into a different lane when we are following a truck with loose-looking cargo, but as this viral dashcam video of a GMC Sierra shows, sometimes there’s nothing you can do to prevent getting hit with flying debris while on the highway.

This video, which was uploaded to the ViralHog YouTube channel this week, was recorded by a motorist on their dashcam in Surrey, British Columbia on April 13th, 2021. The video shows a silver-colored GMT900-platform GMC Sierra traveling down a two-lane highway with a somewhat precarious load of plywood before it flies out of the bed and hits another truck head-on.

Upon first viewing this video, we expected the plywood to fly out of the GMC Sierra and hit the cammer’s car. Fate had other plans that day, though, as the wood actually ends up flying into the oncoming lane and hitting another GMT900 GMC Sierra head-on. It doesn’t appear as though the plywood went through the windshield of the GMC Sierra that it hit, so hopefully the driver and/or passengers weren’t hurt, but this was definitely still a scary situation for the occupants of the pickup.

The cammer says they sent this video to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia on the chance that this driver filed a claim over the damage their truck incurred due to the debris. They did not say if they turned around to see if the other driver had pulled over or if they contacted the authorities, however.

Check out the video embedded below to watch this scary scenario play out in real-time.

    1. I assume he was using the plywood to make his bed “bigger” and hold more of something. But yeah, apparently it wasn’t secured very well.

  3. With the cost of plywood right now, he could almost replace the truck for what he could get for that one sheet.

  4. Still at it Sam? You forgot one other Sierra.

    The Sierra the wood to make that sheet of plywood probably came from, the Sierra Nevada forrest.

  5. The truck hauling the plywood is a 900, the truck that gets hit with the plywood is an 800.

  6. Saw a guy lose a brand new high dollar grill on the highway he had just picked up at Lowes by not tying it down. It slid from the front behind the cab, all the way back to the tailgate where it did a rather nice 180 degree flip over the tailgate and smashed into pieces on the road. You’d think that pickup owners would know better. And most do. I laughed the rest of the way home. No other cars involved. He stopped and picked up the pieces. What’s he going to tell his wife?
