Love how the gas man was more keen to get his cones out to change his tyre than dash back down the road to see if he'd squashed anyone. Must've been a Friday......
Apparently the compressor hose dropped down and locked up the wheel and pulled the van about. They used to wrap the hoses around the compressors back then.

The Gas van was repaired and lasted until 1993 according to DVLA.
+scrapyardwarrior nice detective skills
Strangely enough, it also said it ran on Petrol/Gas
Looks like a Russian dash cam filmed yesterday
Great piece of camera work, Rod. 1981 was my first year at Valley Comp. I am amazed at how vintage the trucks on the road looked.
You should replicate this video apart from the crash. Be good to see a then and now. Plus what was you in a Hearse?
My god,the noise from the transmissions.
Nice vid there. Amazing to catch that on tape. This must be one if the first crashes caught on public cam.
I wonder why the van went out of control in the first place, a blowout perhaps?

haha, I can't tell if you're being serious but the video is from 1981
Does anyone know what the large building was on the left at 1:09?
It was Frank Coneys flower mill.
