Looks like the car that cut him off had hit or nearly hit him along side then over corrected and slid into/in front of him. Was excellent driving of the silver minivan/suv northbound. Looked like a Cayenne from the opposite camera angle. Must've scared the hell out of that driver.
ps. No one was hurt because they were soft drinks. :punchout:

If that truck was on its side sliding towards me as I'm driving 60+ mph... well, it reminds me of what some comedian said (I think it was Bill Cosby): "First ya say it. Then you do it!"

If you've ever driven down the tollway right there is the Pizza Hut building. It's like a giant mirror and I wouldn't be surprised if the glare off the building didn't have a hand in causing the accident.
The images, provided by a North Texas Tollway Authority traffic camera, show the Pepsi truck driving in the southbound lanes at Beltline Road Wednesday afternoon when a car apparently cut it off.
I wonder if the reporter even watched the video.
It looks like the car tried to ram the truck twice. Possible blown front drivers side tire?
Possibly texting? dialing? f^%#ing with a gps?
The car looks like it side swiped the truck coming around the corner, over-corrected or bounced, over-corrected again and hit the right front tire on the truck. I am betting the shock caused the front wheels to turn toward the wall and caused the truck to loose control.
