Terrifying footage has captured the moment monster truck display at the Royal Perth Show didn’t go to plan after one vehicle broke down while another crashed and landed on its roof.
A blue monster truck had been going over ramps, when it failed to land its last one and flipped onto its roof on the first night of the show on Saturday in front of a packed crowd at Claremont Showground.
As it ended up on its side, a young girl could be heard in the crowd saying ‘I don’t think that’s supposed to happen’.
The footage, that showed the event come to a temporary standstill, was posted to Instagram with the cheeky caption: ‘Can’t park there, mate’.
But the bad luck for the monster trucks didn’t end there.
Seconds later, another truck could be seen going over a jump.
But when it landed, sparks flew from the red vehicle before it broke down.
The truck had to be towed from the field as the shocked audience, included young kids watched on.
