    I, also, assumed that a steer tire blew. Keeps you on your toes watching accident videos on YouTube though!

    Could just be in his blood. I know quite a few old timers who sill drive part time local stuff for the fun of it.

    Good thing that truck was empty... Fully loaded and grossed out tonnage with that straight truck he may have gone through the entire house and came out the other side. Probably would have been more serious injuries.

    I could be wrong but I remember reading on Facebook that the dump driver may have been an ex state trooper or other LEO of some sort. Maybe a lifelong dream he finally achieved at that age.

    Yeah I saw truck bed was empty. If it was full that car might not have wedged it so far.......car driver might have died with no give.
