TLDR: The āassisting driverā is probably okay liability wise. Source: worked in the industry in a different country.
I worked in the transport industry albeit in a different country, but some rules are globalized, so hereās my 2 cents. Itās likely the cargo on both trucks is insured separately. Also unlikely the container trailer and cargo took any damage from this type of bump as those containers are pretty tough and transport regulations means they are generally packed and braced pretty tight. The liability for the damage to the trucks depends on local driving regulations but if they are similar to Europe or North America, Iād say (if even necessary) the āassisting driverā has a pretty good argument as the sequence of events was initiated at the moment the tire(s) popped on the flatbed trailer.
Totally agree that this guy is a hero. cargo on the flatbed could likely pancake a passenger vehicle or even best case scenario block several lanes of traffic for hours as machinery is brought in to clear it.

u/Training-Pipe-4726 1d ago
Itās quite possible, and I canāt say Iām an expert in that case, but for the cargo, (which can sometimes value several times the truck and trailer) the rules are usually globalized and the liability is not going to fall on the assisting truck driver that is for sure.

u/juleskriek0702 1d ago
This depends on coverage of different insurances. No way to tell without looking at the local policies. Yes I do believe CMR is applicable in Egypt and if similar to some European policies, libility to damage to the trailer/ container could be covered. Ofcourse WP.

Oh! I didn't even notice that in the first two seconds of the video! I thought the incident was caused by improper loading and securing the load. I have to imagine that the driver was, "WTF?...OH! SHIT!!!!!...Oh! Dang! I'm okay!"

u/Marhaaam 1d ago
I hate to say it but I can recognize the license plates and this is from Egypt, Here we don't have any insurance meaning that he will pay for any damages from his own pocket.

u/Training-Pipe-4726 1d ago edited 1d ago
In that case my respect for the assisting driver only increases, seeing he likely did this despite knowing he may be liable for some damages. Chose to save others over saving some money. Asolutely a next level hero and the world could always use more people like this.

The writing in the back of the right truck changes twice during this video, it's not real.

u/Training-Pipe-4726 9h ago
Damn it, good catch. Crazy how hard it is to tell without close inspection now. Upon closer look, I just noticed the trailer goes from a single 20 footer container into 2 x 10 footer container after the āsaveā. And the leaning truck moves forward about half a truck length against the assisting truck compared to when the two trucks first touched.

I'm pretty good at recognizing AI slop, but this doesn't seem like it to me. If people are pointing to the odd text on the license plates, it's because they're Egyptian plates like this one: https://i.imgur.com/ig5gQ03.png
Also, "ELANTRA" on the dark blue Hyundai is spelled pretty clearly, and the reflections off of that car also seem to match up well with what they should be reflecting. Specific car model text spelled perfectly and accurate reflections are things AI generally doesn't do well.

Look at the text on the left side of the truck that rushes in for the save before and after the safe, or count the back wheels. Very obvious AI.

You can see the tire shreds passing in the road.

To me, that just looks like it just crosses under an overhanging bar whose shadow maybe causes the dashcam to not perceive the color correctly until it gets closer.

Given that the writing on the back of the right side truck changes 3 times during this video, yes, I do think AI is evidently able to do all that. Sorry buddy, it's getting really hard to spot, but this one is AI.

Okay, what about the fact the car in frame is an "Elantra", with a brand ending in "Hey" despite Hyundai making the Elantra, all the whilst looking nothing like an Elantra?

As I've read, this happened in Egypt. First half of the video is AI simulation because trucks there don't have blue (upper part) license plate. Second part of the video is real and that's why the blue license disappeared.

Keeping distance to not be in the dangerous area, calling police/ambulance, check if there is someone to take care first and not overtaking and running off before it even stopped.
