Woolworths truck hits and drags parked car in shocking dashcam video

Shocking dashcam footage has captured a Woolworths truck hitting and dragging a parked car near a store in Melbourne, with the supermarket confirming to Yahoo News an investigation is underway.

The incident happened outside the Woolworths Laurimar store in the city’s north-east, as an unsuspecting driver watched the whole scene unfold as she drove behind the large truck.

In the video, the truck is driving along the access road with cars parked on either side. The truck stops to make way for an oncoming driver due to limited space, but as it starts to move forward again, it turns towards the store and the rear of the truck hits a blue Mazda 2, before spinning it forward nearly 90 degrees.

In the video, the shock of the driver behind the truck can be heard as she screams “Oh my God!” and honks her horn in an attempt to get the truck driver’s attention.

Mazda 2 owner says truck driver ‘denies’ hitting car

Dashcam footage was shared online in February and the woman who shared the video claimed the Woolworths driver “denied” hitting her mother’s Mazda 2.

“I was so happy that this woman stood by him as he continued to deny it,” she said. “Thank goodness the woman with the dash cam proved him wrong!” Yahoo News has reached out to her for comment.
