This happened yesterday in Indiana. There is an ambulance running code towards the end.

I just saw someone post this on Facebook. Any word on if the people are ok and what happened?

Cause we're all going to watch it just for the ambulance at the end :haha:


But seriously that was pretty bad. Hope the guy made it out ok

Found this on a local news station right after reading this and watching the video.

from the story I read, the driver and his 7 year old son were not hurt, just some minor injuries from the crash. Driver reported that he tried avoiding a car that swerved into his lane ( who wants to bet the car driver was probably on the phone)

We had an accident similar to that here in my district a couple years ago. Tractor trailer was on a highway about go cross over an overpass, somehow ended up going airborne(without hitting guardrail) hit nose first on one side of the street below ejecting the driver. The whole truck(can and trailer) flipped over a four lane road without hitting anything else, landed in an embankment on the opposite side where the cab burst into flames.

I can only imagine how the ics officer reacted. "Uhhh, yeah, dispatch we are going to need mutual aide departments and lots of foam..."

The two of them are very lucky that they made it with only minor injuries.

It Looked to have jumped nearly the full height of his truck. 8 or 10 feet high?

"OH $#!@" is definitely right! Man, that trucker and his kid are fortunate to have survived! Good thing the tanks were ripped off the truck and exploded far away from the cab.

WOW. To both of these. The second one, in Texas, it's nice to see so many people run to help while that one person backs up and leaves.. I don't know, something inside of me wouldn't allow me to just back up, turn around and continue on my way.. Guess that's why some of us are first responders.
