    The action begins at about 1:15. Note the car seems to clip the front of a pickup truck, looses control and hits the right concrete guardrail, bouncing hard left into the truck.

    The trucker did well to avoid a rollover. This is a good example of how powerful the side force of an impact from a four wheeler can be.

    Driver doing video should have stopped on the far side of the wrecked car so he hopefully doesn’t become a part of this crash.

    If only that song started about 45 seconds or so earlier. Would have been perfect timing.

    Comments say the poor woman had a seizure and a blackout. Man, that could have been so much worse. Glad everyone made it

    I failed to look at the comments. Makes sense. Car straight lined toward that right barrier at an angle.
