This happened on the Tollway the other day. Car cuts off an 18-wheeler and sends it careening into the opposite flow of traffic! Miraculously, no one was seriously injured.

I saw an interview with the guy that was in the truck that was in the opposite lane as the 18-wheeler. He still seemed a tad adrenalized.

Porsche should hire the guy in the Cayenne as a spokesman. You think your Ford Explorer or Range Rover can make a three-lane avoidance maneuver at 70 mph?

I saw that on the news too. But I had to watch the vid 5 times before I saw the car that caused it. I kept looking at the car on the right to cut him off, and couldn't figure out where the car that shows up at :07 was coming from. It was like he was *trying* to park under that semi. Was he drunk or just suicidal?
It's amazing that Porche didn't get smooshed.

I think that car missed the curve in the road and overcompensated, ramming into the truck. ???
