Rio Grande, Argentina.

A truck driver was crossed by a gas tube on the route 90. The accident happened in New Orleans, Louisiana, at 6am. Yesterday.

There weren't victims involved in the accident. The driver, David Staples (31), managed to escape on time. However the driver that caused the accident tried to run away of the scene but was arrested two hours later. Now he is at the New Orleans police station with several charges against him. After the incident, David said: "I've been driving all the night, relaxed and listening to the radio, then I heard a noise on the route and in a blink of an eye, I had been crossed by a tube"

The notice started when David called the police. After that when they caught Chauncey Hopkins (37), the driver who was carrying the tubes, the police realised that he was under the effects of the alcohol.

David only got minor superficial injuries.

Because of the research about the accident made by the police, the route was cut for 5 hours, causing a chaos on the traffic.
