Turlough rams hedgerow in headlong escape
The large delivery van appears on the single-track road as an external obstacle that Turlough must avoid at all costs. Its sudden oncoming presence forces the crisis moment—had Turlough not swerved, a head-on collision would have been inevitable. Though it does not collide, it serves as the immediate catalyst for the hedgerow swerve, embodying the external pressure Turlough refuses to yield to.

After:
Veers off course outside the wreck sequence; no physical damage incurred in this instant, but it becomes a symbol of inescapable constraint on the road.
