    Yeah, sorry about that. We all go through it. You'll be fine, want to go to Colorado with me? ( I think I asked you that once before, probably not a snowball's chance in Hades now, hey?)

    It happened in Rockford Il
    Google Maps

    The speed reading on the dash cam seems a bit slow to update and I think the truck driver did slow a bit before impact. Not soon enough though.

    I don't know about anyone else but I see this through my windshield and I'm assuming the suv is coming over in front of me.

    I thought it looked like the accident occurred before the I-39/US 20 split. In recent weeks between Rockford and Rochelle near the I-88 interchange that stretch of I-39 has been frequently patrolled by ISP. You can bet they’ll step it up now looking for morons who do stuff like this. And the fines aren’t going to be cheap(if that SUV driver is lucky that’s all they’ll do).

    Only thing dash cams dont show are mirrors. Hard to say why driver just didnt blow past the exit and turn around later. Its one if those split second decisions that happens in thr blink of an eye.
