    Heavier the load and older the body.. greater chances of completely getting crushed due to momentum.

    these lorries would not be speeding, given its condition and the load. In India there is no much importance given to the trucks safety. These should be periodically checked for tires, engine, breaks and given safety certificates how they do it in USA and Canada. Anyways, we should only day dream to see these things happening in India but at least the rescue personnel should wear protective gloves and proper gears for the rescue , instead of hurting themselves.
