to literally jump the jersey barrier and land on it's side.

Evan Platt: Presiding Judge, Jury and executioner.

You did not include tire failure or mechanical failure. Oh wait, it was a
toyota right? So maybe the accelerator stuck?

It is a known fact, when ever a truck is involved with a car at a crash
site, 4 out of 5 crashes were caused by the car. I for one would like to
know exactly why the car made that maneuver.

Had you bothered looking in MTT first, you'd have seen my post there on the
subject. I just used a different subject for mtt.

Yeah that was a pretty spectacular crash that happened here on the
Dallas North Tollway this past week. Thanks for posting the link.
They released this video a few days ago, and showed it on t.v., but I
couldn't find a link to it on the web.

Right there at the 16 second mark you can the see the truck is square
in his lane, and the car is swerving into the big rig. Amazing how
the truck went over the median, and amazing no one was seriously hurt
in this wreck. ( at least that's what they reported on the news ).

The driver of that silver car that swerves out of the way at the last
second before being crushed by that truck ... amazing.

I'm guessing the car rammed the trunk's front wheel in just the right
place so as to "steer" it over the median. A pretty wild ride...
amazing no one was seriously injured!

Why? We don't know what caused the car to go out of control. It may have had a
flat tire or other mechanical problem.

it looks a lot like one of them NASCAR cars that has a tire go down
and it immediately heads for the wall...

but I'm pretty surprised that truck went over that barrier .. I was
hoping those barriers would not let that happen...

that truck could have easily taken out a half dozen cars

Haven't seen much in the way of real updates yet.
One camera showed the grey car was originally in the extreme right lane,
perhaps a tad fast. Then gently nudges the front wheel of the truck which
causes the truck to move over into the far left lane. Trucker maybe over
reacting to what had happened.

Amazingly, as soon as it happened, all four lanes behind it came to a
complete stop.
