I guess he just saw an empty parking lot and thought he would pull in for a while.
I don't think that the parking lot driver is going to be able to scale this one.
Get him off the road permanently

Wonder if that parking lot driver is ok?
The guy that piggy backed him, was either asleep or just didn't see him, all I can think of.brsims Thanks this. -
Probably a mega on elogs pushing his 14 hours and not being able to stop at every buffet along the 400 miles he had to drive that day

Just a few burns on hand and shoulder for the parking lot driver. He did tell the police that he fell asleep.

COLUMBIA CITY, Ind. (WANE) Two semis collided on U.S. 30 in Whitley County early Tuesday, a crash that left the cabs fully engulfed in flames and the highway’s eastbound and westbound lanes closed. The highway was finally completely opened to traffic late Tuesday afternoon.

Two semis collided on U.S. 30 in Columbia City on Tuesday, May 24, 2016.
Police and medics were called around 9:30 a.m. to U.S. 30 near Lincolnway West, on Columbia City’s west side near the Walmart. Police said two semi tractor-trailers crashed, and became “fully engulfed” in flames.
A witness told NewsChannel 15 that a semi pulling a car hauler had been stopped on eastbound U.S. 30 at Lincolnway at a red light when another semi came up on it, hit the car hauler and launched into the air. It landed upon the first cab and the two burst into flames, the witness said.
The driver of the stopped semi became pinned in his cab but was able to escape with burns to his shoulder and hand. Witnesses told NewsChannel 15 he leapt from the cab and yelled out, “I’m alive.” He was airlifted from the scene to a Fort Wayne hospital.
The driver of the second semi told police he had fallen asleep before the crash. He was not hurt.double yellow, Big Don and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
Note for you parking lot drivers, Leave your upper deck higher so he only wrecks the trailer.
This could have had a very bad ending.Dominick253 and brian991219 Thank this. -
They are a mail hauling outfit
I feel for the driver of the parking lot.
Would scare the crap out of me
Look in the mirror and see that happening and no way to prevent it -
Fell asleep eh? That's it for him.
WHADDA wreck. Ya know it's still awesome from a physics and forces view point when trucks get together in bad ways. I wonder if those wings under the trailer saved the car lot driver from getting smashed good. -
Someone's been playing too much Grand Theft Auto. At least they both got out.

Fell asleep or watched too much Dukes of Hazzard as a kid? He just figured he could probably jump that bad boy.
