It’s unclear how this 18-wheeler ended up going completely out of control and flipping onto its side, but the craziest part is that the driver seemed completely unharmed.
The video should be cued up, but if it’s not working, everything starts to fall apart around 23 seconds in. It’s absolutely terrifying to watch, as things slide out of the cockpit and are dragged at highway speeds across the road. If the driver wasn’t belted in, there’s a good chance he’d have been seriously injured, or worse.
But instead, he just ends up sounding cool as a cucumber while he looks for his cell phone. Glad to see you’re alright, Mr. Trucker Man.
