The former Soviet states are a wild place. That much we know for sure. So if you see a dash cam video posted on YouTube with Cyrillic characters somewhere in the description, you can be reasonably certain that something crazy is going to happen in it.


Something like this Ukrainian logging truck taking a shit in the middle of a busy road on Sunday. The Odessa Forum reported that the truck's brakes had failed and that the accident was unavoidable. Luckily, no one was seriously injured. The truck driver walked away with a concussion.


The car in front of the camera and the truck were pretty much destroyed, but how stoked was the guy driving that little red station wagon? Whoever it was escaped in the nick of time, with the kind of perfectly choreographed disaster avoidance George Lucas and Steven Spielberg used in that boulder scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
