    Looked like the truck swerved when the bmw first got near him. Wondering if his load shifted. Yet it also appeared to be like they were in a panic to move over for possible exit?

    I'm not saying he did anything wrong, he's lucky he didn't get runned over, I'm just saying he never looked back. Just looked at it again, he did stop, but man is he lucky, I bet him and the truck driver both needed to change their panties.

    The truck driver didn’t check his blind spot. It’s the truck drivers fault, period, end of story.

    Going nowhere fast, smh.

    Good footage. It looks like they recorded the recording using another device. You notice at the beginning of the video you see speed, coordinates etc. at the bottom of the screen as they get the recording device into position.

    The dude that rolled was doing the headless chicken to get around slower traffic and didn't see the beamer until he hit it. Panicked, cranked the wheel, hard braked and went for a helluva ride.

    Here's where it happened btw. Google Maps
