Cayenne Driver escapes horrific Pepsi Truck Crash



On the northbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway just after 10:00 am on Wednesday. In the video it appears as if the Nissan Sentra doesn't make the turn and hits the truck, bounces off and then over-corrects, causing the Sentra to then reconnect with the semi, sending the unladen truck into the inbound lanes. When the truck crosses over a Porsche Cayenne amazingly manages to swerve out of the way and avoid being rushed. Only six vehicles were involved and just two people were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Be thankful

Yes, nice to see for once no one died and it didn't cause a 20 car pileup.

That is some amazing footage. Some lucky drivers that day. And that cayenne... I am glad I drive one of these, in case I ever need to try some fancy manouvre like this and won't end up on my roof.
