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.

If you look very closely you can see keanu reeves leaping from the top of the truck.

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.
