Car Hits Pepsi Truck - Truck jumps divider

[Monster Dave]

Ever wonder how a semi jumps a concrete divider?

Here's how: http://jalopnik.com/5550345/video-car-hits-pepsi-truck-causes-catastrophic-wreck


And it turns out it's easier than you think!!

sentra driver was probably texting

Amazing more people weren't hurt, good thing traffic wasn't heavier.

that's our personal track...tons of bikes there, just thankful no one was hit head-on by that truck.  I think the person in the car should have his/her license revoked permanently

That's just a typical day here in Dallas. There are tens of thousands of dumb ass drivers pulling that shit here every day. It sucks big time. Every couple of minutes I see a driver doing something dangerous and stupid that makes me want to shotgun his/her tires flat!! Really glad they had that video because it clears the poor truck driver of wrong doing and it will hopefully keep the stupid shit driving the car from sueing the driver and Pepsi! Just glad no one got seriously injured. Hell of a mess though, shut down the Tollway for hours!

couple thoughts

1-how can you do that? I.E. how spaced out do you have to be to completely miss the turn?
2- That Porsche That dodged that truck. I guess Porsche engineering and traction REALLY saved his ass. Cause that bike turned on a dime without losing control.
3- That was pretty easy. lol

Holy crap!  That white CUV on the opposite site barely missed death.  If that car came thru just a fraction of a second later, that would have been a nasty head-on...

I wouldn't have thought a small car could push a truck that size the way that it did.

Dumbass. 

[Turf]

I will now look at Cayenne drivers with reverence

I will look at sentra drivers...no differently than i do now

it looks like that second hit was right on the wheel and may have steered the struck into the divider, not pushed it.

That's what I'm thinking. My family owns a three generation, 75+ year old trucking company. My brother and I owned it together for years... I don't anymore. When I did I was the company representative that handled all the traffic and cargo claims. Have more court time than most attorneys and worked with many accident reconstruction firms. As I said, glad Pepsi has that video to help them down the road with this one!

Follow the Cayenne after it misses the truck. He/She over corrects and runs back into the barrier twice, then stops.

i think the cayenne was the silverish vehicle second in line... it doesn't appear to stop at all.

You are correct, once again. I was looking at the black suv that went under the falling trailer. I think? the Cayenne may have hit the outside wall?

if it did, the driver didn't bother stopping (or slowing down)...
