The ball was errantly kicked out of play when a Montevideo player rushed in to clear the ball and sent it into nearby Ruta Nacional Dr. Hugo Batalla.
The ball rolled through the busy road as vehicles slowed down to avoid hitting the ball until a white SUV, which had been decreasing its speed, was struck by a black truck.
The clip cuts back to the players on the field.
The wreck caused traffic to halt for 20 minutes, the Daily Mail reported.
