Australian ute whizzes across seven lanes of traffic unscathed

 

澳洲休旅車呼嘯穿越七車道而毫髮無傷

Australian police captured dramatic footage of a white truck speeding unscathed across seven lanes of traffic in a once-in-a-lifetime incident.

在一起難得一見的事件中,澳洲警方拍攝到一輛白色卡車加速橫越七車道卻毫髮無傷的戲劇性影片。

Though a mere five seconds, the riveting video shows a Toyota Hilux truck in Australia’s Northern Territories drive over a sandy median, narrowly avoid a collision with another car in three lanes of moving vehicles, thread through two lanes of stationary cars, bounce across two empty lanes and then hurtle toward a line of storefronts.

雖然僅有五秒,這段精彩影片顯示,澳洲北領地的一輛豐田Hilux卡車駛過一個沙地分隔島,在三個車輛行駛中的車道上差點就撞上另一輛車,接著越過兩線車輛靜止的車道,再彈越過兩個空車車道,衝向一排店面。

The driver of the utility vehicle, or ute as the vehicle is commonly known in Australia, was heading towards the city of Darwin when she allegedly lost control, failed to negotiate a turn, and crashed into a business, according to the police in a post on social media.

根據警方在社群媒體上的貼文,這輛運動型休旅車(在澳洲常被稱為ute )的駕駛在駛向達爾文市時,據說她失控,過彎失敗,最後撞入一個店家。

"It is incredibly lucky no one else was injured in this incident," said Superintendent Daniel Shean of the Northern Territory Police, reminding people to always drive with due care and attention.

北領地警局警司丹尼爾.辛恩說,這起事故沒有其他人受傷真是不可思議,提醒人們開車應該要小心謹慎,注意安全。
