    How much would it suck to be driving this truck?

    Seems he was cruising too fast instead of easing it along. Probably another guys fault though, spotter or whoever.

    probably has seen it before looked like a old guy tractors flip like that all the time...not often from their trailors hitting dividers like that that's operator error if he was checking his trailor in the mirrors he would have seen he was off line and that divider was going to be an issue. What really sucks is when they play that video back and talk about what a dumb ass he was for that.

    He hit brakes just before impact.
    He saw divider, just too late.

    He probably should have completed the turn into the left lane allowing more room for the trailer tandem to swing wide and then get back straight.

    Of course had he stopped as light was yelliw ( turned red while he was in the intersection )
    he would have started off at a lower speed and this most likely would not have occurred

    I hope he didn't unbuckle immediately. Guy probably thought the crash was over after the impact and deceleration. NOPE! time to roll over! The physics/mechanics of the finale are quite poetic.

    Does anyone realize how lucky that driver was?
    He's 50-50 to die there.
    If the beam tips to the right, he goes over the overpass and kills who knows how many underneath plus himself.
    Dumb fukk has to be thankful.

    Good catch

    I didn't see the overpass but you are spot on.

    Would have been a really serious problem had it flipped over the bridge

    even though a roll over onto the driver's side I bet he did bang up shoulder, ribs, hip, knee

    if hes scanning ahead he sees that divider then i'm watching in my mirrors to make sure trailor clears that divider i'll stop if I have to I've don't it before fully loaded heavy as fukk scary shit. that I've hauled all kind of shit in west Texas and Cali working oil moving oversized pumps,Tankers, and you name it I've never hit a divider or anything because I scan and pay attention to everything.

    Scan near and far sweeping right to left checking mirrors ....The first thing they taught me at school shit works i'm one hell of a defensive driver.
