"It is crazy. In that moment, people climb on top of the truck, on the glass and the windows. As a driver driving, you are driving blind. It is as if someone has closed their eyes and they are driving, relying on God’s help. They could run over the people who are stealing (aid) as they are stealing because the truck is moving and they are blocking his (the driver’s) vision."
