Great crash. Solid Footage. I give it an 8.5.

No slow motion for timeshift? I am glad everyone made it alive. Crazy video!

Good to hear there were no serious injuries.

The funny thing is, it looks like the little car got pissed and rammed that big sucker right over the wall.

Somebody hates Pepsi.

Rum and Pepsi, choice of a new generation of drunk drivers.

The article says the truck driver overcorrected when cut off, but it looks like the car sideswipes the truck. Am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything. The car cuts off the truck. The truck swerves to maintain, but overcorrects and rolls over the median.

Sideswipes him twice. I don't see any overcorrection here just sideswipping.

And that's why sometimes your Pepsi explodes when you open it.

I drive a truck similar to this for a living and have known lots of drivers involved in accidents such as this. they almost always get the shaft legally. I would put money on the fact that this driver is going to end up paying a fine or losing his CDL based on the "official" word that he "over corrected" it is CLEAR from the footage that he didn't even have time to react at all, much less over correct.
that car was in or very nearly in his blind spot and very clearly forced him violently and instantly into the median divider. there was nothing that driver could do but ride it out and pray.
The idiot in the 4-wheeler will get a point on his license or some such bullshit and also stands a great chance of getting a juicy settlement out of the company that contracts the truck...if not Pepsi co themselves.
The truck driver is ALWAYS at fault by default in the cases...very rare for a truck driver to be exonerated even with indisputable footage proving his innocence such as in this case. I could rant for hours about the inequalities that exist for myself and my fellow drivers, but I digress.

^Which is exactly why I let my CDL lapse. Too many risks, especially with a hazmat.

It's like the little car was a pack of mentos :>

How did that small car push the eighteeen wheeler? Why didn't the semi just stay on its course, the small car could have recovered. This is so full of wtf.


It did not. This is all fake, I know from watching so many movies that on every car chase, a car needs to hit another car at least 10-12 times to take it off the road. So, with such a big truck, this has to be bullshit...

Looking closely, it seems the second hit form the car was on the front of the right front tire, pushing it to the left with the full force of the impact, and keeping it there. Even if the truck had monster truck hydraulic ram steering, there was probably no way he could have kept control. The driver should certainly fight any claims he (she) is at fault, and use the video to defend themselves. It is clear that the car is in control of the steering of the truck leaving no chance for the driver to correct, or over correct. You can see, when the truck goes airborne, that as soon as the pressure on the right front tire is relieved, the tires turn right, hard. Unfortunately, the tires are in the air at this point, and do nothing.

Great news that no one was seriously injured. Still, for good measure, the driver of the car should be beaten.

What's special here? This is about standard fare for driving practices on the Dallas North Tollway.
