    Pix No. 3 shows tractor trailer bumper was up to back of front seats, (It looks like,) and went over tires.
    Also looks worse cause after they cut top and sides away to extract, they throw all into a pile w/ wheels
    to clear the roadway quickly. Very fortunate group.

    Unbelievable! Not a God fan, but this is a testament of good engineering and maybe some driving skill? Is there catistrophic injury? Do you want to live in a wheelchair or as a vegetable? I hate to say it, but sometimes, when it comes to MVA, death is the lesser evil...

    Hold up. The 4th truck used their driving skills to test the engineering of the toyota? Ok.

    god was there that night.

    you know too...

    i am sick and tired of this crap, with big rig drivers doing this crap. this is inattention or distracted driving.

    how can you NOT SEE ahead of you, especially the bright stop lights, or the t/t's flashing 4 ways??

    sorry, but i have been irked so much by this crap, from now on, any t/t driver getting ticketed or blamed for such a wreck, ought to have his CDL revoked for life.

    this crap will never stop. if we do not do something, as a collective group, except yak it up on a website, then maybe feds and anti trucking groups ought do it for us.

    Only solution i can see to this problem is more law enforcement patroling the highways. Like one patrol car per 10 miles of highway more. Crazy nobody got killed in that one.

    Wow! Slow down, stay alert, don't follow to close suggestion from police.oh and look ahead. A good driver does these things already. You folks that drive ALOT already know. I am not perfect, no one is, was this accident preventable? If you don't have a dash cam, get one.
