    Dude in the 4 wheeler likely needed new pants after that one. Jesus. Hope the driver is alright that looked like a hard impact. Also looked like his drivers side steer may have been flat. So maybe a blowout?

    Now this doesn't really mean anything (maybe I just missed it) but, if you watch in slow motion (1/4 time), when the truck hits the pavement, the drivers door flies open. I don't see the driver in there. Now again, that don't mean anything but, I wonder if he had gotten out of the seat or something? Obviously, he surely could have been in the seat, but you'd think even if he was seatbelted in, he would be at least flopping around in there to some degree. Maybe some of yall can blow it up & slow-mo it & see better than me.

    Just something I noticed.....

    I’m actually surprised that the reefer didn’t split in half after an impact like that. You can tell the frame is bent though.

    I missed that but yea it does look like it. Though i frame by framed it and saw this one shot

    It looks like he may just have on a shirt the same or simular colored as his seat. Or that he is standing between them in the back. Its really really hard to tell. If the latter then i rescend my "hope he is ok" and change it to "hope he got some sense knocked into him.

    May have jumped out knowing it was going to go down off a bridge.

    He might have had to pawn the seat belt to pay for the paint job.:D
