Someone Actually Hitched A Ride On The Back Of A Truck & OPP Are Investigating (VIDEO)

Fear is not a factor for this person.

It's illegal to hop on public transit without paying, which means people definitely shouldn't jump on the back of a transport truck to score a free lift, either. But there's always one.

According to the OPP West Region, an individual was spotted clinging onto the back of a large truck as it travelled along a highway, and making matters worse, the whole thing happened at night in relative darkness.

The person was filmed riding on the back of a truck on Highway 24, with police reporting that the driver was completely unaware of the daredevil stowaway.

Talk about a blind spot.

The OPP's Norfolk County detachment released a video of the incident via Twitter on Sunday, which is all kinds of eerie and disturbing.

"This is a very dangerous act that could of had life-altering or ending consequences," the tweet reads.

At the moment, the person involved in the reckless act has not been identified or charged. However, OPP is continuing to investigate the matter.

Oddly enough, bizarre incidents similar to this one occur all the time on provincial highways.

Back in December, a vehicle was pulled over by OPP's Highway Safety Division members after officers noticed it was missing a tire.

Photos of the incident showed the vehicle with a bare front wheel, which probably sounded like a giant nail scraping across a chalkboard while it was travelling. Fun.

Both incidents serve as a reminder to stay alert anytime you're driving and report anything suspicious, especially ones that happen on a highway.
