What a plank! Moment motorist smashes traffic lights as they drive through German town with towering wooden poles sticking out of car trailer
- Truck was seen driving with wooden beams sticking out of their side, yesterday
- Poles narrowly miss scraping houses on the road in Schliersee, Bayern, Germany
- Social media users have said ‘what happens in Bavaria, stays in Bavaria’ on clip
This is the bizarre moment a driver smashes traffic lights while driving stacks of wood in their trailer in a small countryside town in Germany.
In the clip, the vehicle is seen gently driving along a road in Schliersee, Bayern, with wooden poles balanced on their side.
Their journey appears to be going smoothly with the towering wooden beams leaning outwards from the car, in the video shared to Reddit yesterday.

As the vehicle slowly passes houses, the poles manage to narrowly miss scraping against their exterior.
Moments later, the car heads towards a set of traffic lights and the wooden planks whack into them.
The end of the beams, which are leaning out of the trailer, smack the side of the lights and send part of the structure plummeting to the ground.

The wooden poles then flip backwards on to the road, in the dash-cam footage.
But despite the dramatic drop, the vehicle continues to drive as though nothing has happened.
People have shared their bafflement about the moment on Reddit.
