    Ah you're right of course. Looked like one of the newer Volvos with the straight hood vents but it's too far back. I made an assumption based on the color and the ridiculousness of the accident. And you know what happens when you assume.

    Where did the picture come from and where did this happen?
    There's got to be a story out there about this.

    My guess is this is mid recovery after a run off the road/jack knife/roll.

    No way truck chassis and trailer stays that straight after the cab gets trebucheted.
