A 44-ton runaway semi truck was brought under control by a member of the public who smashed his way into the moving cab as it ground and bounced its way along the concrete barrier of the German Autobahn.

The driver of the articulated truck had died at the wheel on the A1 motorway near the city of Cologne on the evening of May 8, according to local reports.
