This is the shocking moment a fully-loaded lorry rams into a taxi minibus at a red light until it overturns, nearly hits a couple on the zebra crossing, and then keeps driving along the road as if nothing had happened.

The incident was filmed in the city of Volgograd in the south-western Russian region of Volgograd Oblast on the afternoon of 13th June.

In the footage, shared by the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs, three vehicles are seen stopping at a red light just as the lorry enters the screen and crashes into the back of the white minibus.

The lorry then rams the taxi minibus onto its side and nearly hits a couple walking on the zebra crossing.

After the two pedestrians manage to jump clear of the lorry just in time, with the man helping the woman at the last minute, the HGV driver continues along the road like nothing had happened and apparently does not stop.

Meanwhile, a small group of eyewitnesses rushes over to the overturned minibus and attempts to help the people trapped inside.

According to local media, five people were injured in the accident.

Preliminary reports said the lorry had a brake failure, however, this has yet to be confirmed by the local authorities.

The investigation is ongoing and there have been no further updates on the lorry driver or the injured victims.
