    Well, guess the Jeep should stayed in his lane. Then the truck should have never tried to dodge the Jeep. The way it looked to me, the truck got pushed against the curb and blew a tire and lost it.

    Yup at the 4 second mark you can see the tire blow and then the wobble causes the drivers side wheel to fold up and its all over from there. Based on the video ima call this 95% on the jeep thing 5% on the driver for swerveing.

    Actully this video is a great example of why in a semi you NEVER swerve. You just hit the brakes and hold on. Had the truck driver not swerved he would not have hit the curb and would most likely not have rolled over. It would have likely still been bad given the size and weight disparity. But likely not lethal.

    Well, if it actually happened, but I see a lot of AI generated videos, and it's hard to tell if they are real or not. I have a tough time believing any of this stuff.

    No worries. They can still get a non-domiciled CDL here.
