Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
Holy crap that thing flew across a four lane high way and the center median in the air. And I wonder what the explosion was caused by. To me in the video it looked like he was pulling a flatbed but I watched on my phone....

Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
That is crazy! It looks like he and his rig escaped the flames, though. That is going to be fun to explain...

WOW that's crazy! I'm glad nobody was hurt, that could have turned out so much worse... Thanks for sharing the video.

Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
The video was captured by the dashboard camera of another tractor-trailer.
The driver of the semi, 30-year-old Ryan Young, of Kentucky, swerved to avoid hitting another vehicle that drifted into his lane, causing the crash. The fire was caused by the impact of the crash, which tore off the truck's fuel tanks, according to police. Young's 7-year-old son was a passenger in the tractor-trailer at the time of the crash. He suffered only a few scratches while Young suffered minor head injuries

Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
i wonder if they found the moron that drifted in his lane and hold him fully accountable and responsible for everything
 it is great that nobody got hurt real bad but i tell you they don't call us professional drivers for nothing,and fortunately some people are lucky that most of us know what we are doing keeping these 30-50ton and more monsters on the road.thanks for sharing this video..

Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
Thank god him and his boy are ok, but next time I bet you fellas he don't swerve to miss the idiot that drifted in his lane and next time he just rolls over em. Some times stupid people just need to be taken out.

Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
Watch real close - I think the axles of the trailer nearly broke off.
Up the embankment on a cloverleaf overpass and over a divided highway - clearing multiple lanes. What a ride! **** good driver too. I doubt the mother will let the son out of her sight for a few years. Izzy

Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
Pfft.. Travis would have gotten twice the height and probably three times the distance on that jump.

Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
yea unfortunately thats the attitude i take since a gent in canada here going up one of our 400 series highway swerved to avoid 2 little sh(*&%^%$ racing one another because one of them lost control.the driver of the truck was hauling a fully loaded flour compartment 5 axle trailer and layed it in the ditch and killed himself for those 2 idiots
.i feel sorry for the widow.i told my wife already i will not put my truck in the ditch for an idiot that has made a stupid mistake.tuff crap for them ..maybe pay attention next time...thanks for letting me get that off my chest.i always say...if the police want to catch idiots or rule breakers on the road....ride in a truck for a day..the tickets would be endless

Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
I wonder if that driver had a dash camera like the trucker who caught it on tape if it would show enough.
I be the driver losses his job due to an insurance claim .... rips me up cause I have known a few guys who have lost their jobs just for this kind of reason....

Re: Tractor Trailer flies though the air
Just saw the full unedited video of the truck recording the whole thing. The fun begins around the 3 minute mark.
