A driver sat in their car, waiting for their family to arrive, when they suddenly heard a loud thump from the parking lot. A truck had hit another vehicle as it entered the parking lot, and a dashcam captured the whole incident.
The owner shared the dashcam footage on the r/Dashcams subreddit. It shows the incident happened on Nov. 7, 2026, and involved a truck and another car. The driver who shared the footage said they were sitting in their car with two of their kids while their wife and third child were inside a restaurant.
According to the post, the truck driver was upset with the other motorist because they allegedly ran a stop sign before the two vehicles collided. Police were called and reviewed the incident, including the dashcam footage.
That footage ended up being important, as the driver who was hit later contacted the dashcam owner to inform them that the truck driver had been arrested for driving under the influence.

The footage shows the incident happening around 8:18 p.m. It shows a car entering an H-E-B parking lot before a truck comes into frame and hits the side of the other vehicle, causing a T-bone collision.
The truck then drives away, while the other car stops for a moment following the collision. It all happened while the driver with the dashcam was waiting in their car with their two kids, who were feeling cold, so they had the heat running.
According to the post, the driver was playing games on their phone when they heard the collision and looked up to see what had happened. The post also said the truck driver was throwing a fit, claiming the woman had blown through a stop sign. Police then reviewed the footage and reportedly dismissed the truck driver’s complaints.
The original poster also explained that several people went over to help the woman who was hit. A couple of bystanders even gathered around her to help make sure the two men in the truck didn’t intimidate her.
Eventually, the woman involved contacted the dashcam owner and said the truck driver had been arrested for DUI. No identities were revealed in the post, so it’s unclear what specific charges the man may be facing.
Commenters React to the Incident
Under the post, several people commented on how important it is for witnesses to stay after an accident.
One commenter said they appreciated the original poster helping the woman by providing the dashcam footage. They also pointed out that dealing with an aggressive driver can be intimidating, especially when you’re on your own.
Another user shared a similar experience after being hit by a driver who ran a red light. They explained that police initially weren’t sure who had the right of way, but a witness came forward and confirmed that the user had a green light.
This incident is another example of how dashcam footage and witnesses can provide important information after a crash, especially when drivers disagree about what happened.
