Dump Truck Crash Test

An engineer I work with is involved with a company that builds retainer walls/safety barriers. Here is a crash test at 60 mph.

That truck crashed into that wall because no one was inside to hit the brakes. Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Looking at the fairly minimal deformation of the wall, I'd say it could. That's a heck of a wall! Sure wouldn't want to be in the cab of that truck.
