Good thing he survived, however, doesn't speak a lick of English. Go figure.

That guy was lucky.

A few years ago there was a similar accident in this area. A car was sitting at a red ligh and a semi stopped beside the car. The light changed and the truck started moving, and the car just sat there. Suddenly the truck turned over, squashing the car. Only a driver was in the car, and the driver was killed. I never heard a reason as to why the truck turned over.

Hmm, it must then be the non-English-speaking-driver-crushing full-trailer.

I'd say, good thing he could utter some words in any language after all this!

Normal stock Seatbelts are totally rubbish...and so is most car safety. All cars should have rollcages, safer seats, 5 point harnesses and many other safety features. We should not have to pay for it on insurance.

Blah blah blah...Hes going to race the pants off his car...making him more likely to write it off... Wrong. Many insurance companies should take it as a SAFETY PRECAUTION as it actually protects the people inside of it.

On a more positive note... Its glad that the man survived that horrific truck accident.

Just... wow. I would have thought he'd have been crushed but the dude walked out with minimal assistance!

**devil lady** · 11-21-2006, 03:51 PM

If the trailer hadn't been a soft sider it might have been a different outcome.

**Joefireline** · 11-22-2006, 11:45 AM

Wow, lucky person. I've seen a video on youtube before like that, can't find it right now, but the car was crushed between two trucks, and he survived with only a few scratches.

Without sound you can tell he doesn't speak a lick of English, but hey, it's LA.

That must have scared the bejeebers out of him though.
