Wait how did that happen. Was it a mistake on the tank crew's part?

IIRC it looked like a BMP backing up into a roadway. If it was buttoned up then at best the vehicle commander might have a glimpse of a car. The driver never saw it, just felt a shift in vehicle level. If it was Ukrainian I don't see an excuse to fail to have a ground guide.

The tank was maneuvering at high speed because it was engaged in a firefight and briefly lost control. Nobody was seriously injured.
