WOW!!! That was pretty scary. Hope all is well. Can't believe the little car caused all that.

Wonder what the driver of the Beemer was doing that caused him to drift over into the lane of the Semi?   :nixweiss:

He/she hit the semi at least twice.  At the drive tandems then again at the front wheel.  When I saw it first thought was something broke on the BMW.  Of course the driver could have faded in to it the first time, freaked after he/she bounced and then yanked it back again.

Gotta agree with you on that one.  If you look at the 3rd, I believe it was, version head-on, it appears they were driving in their respective lanes and then the Beemer wandered over into the semi, jerked back and then came right back into the semi again, this time causing the semi to go over the jersey barrier and the beemer runs up the side of the jersey barrier and almost flips also...not a pretty site.  I'll bet regardless of what happened in the beemer, that person did NOT have clean underwear on after that one.   :nervous: :nervous: :nervous:

The beemer must have been on a cell phone.

If so that would qualify as a poor connection.

Good guess would be the driver of the beemer was talking or texting, And the sad thing the truck driver will get the blame. We always do.

I drive a truck for a living and, believe it or not, these kind of accidents are avoided at least 2-3 times a day. This driver was unfortunate and couldn't avoid this one.

That chit goes thru your mind all day when on the road w/ there crazy a$$ people. NOW, Where's the injury attorney that will represent the big truck in this type of accident. Seems they all wanna go after the Truck Drivers...
