Wreck on I-35 in Dallas

I especially like the scene in your rear view mirror in the first one. This is why one should always have a camera with them.

[Huck]

Thanks, Bruce. I had no idea how the shots would turn out since all I did was hold the camera and shoot as I drove past. I was just glad to see they were in focus.

I always wonder how people manage to flip their cars/trucks on straight roads, until I saw a drunk couple do it a few years back on stemmons. (when we ran to the car to help them they were both laughing like crazy). I guess it just wasn't this guy's/gal's day, looks like a total the way the one wheel is ripped off and the others are askew.

Well, prob. pretty easy to flip the truck after it hit the wall. I've had a truck sliding on the road ~50 ft away from me before.. I have no clue how they did that one, i'm guessing they hit a car and somehow got thrown on the side.

Not hard at all to flip it. The faster you go the easier it is to do with just the slightest steering wheel movement. Thats why people need to learn to slow down and obey the speed limits.

I drove past that coming back from a day trip to houston. That was at just gone 9pm. Must have taken them some time to clean that up. And that was the only day I didn't have my camera in the car too :( Shame too, because about 100yrds up the road was another accident probably caused by rubber-necking.

We'll just have to agree to disagree about that. I've never driven a vehicle - from a 1979 Cougar XR7 to a 1982 Datsun 310 to a 1985 Ford Escort EXP to a 1992 Chevy C1500 to a 1995 Pontian Firebird Formula to a 1998 Chevy Corvette to a 2002 Chevy C2500 that would roll if you turned the steering wheel slightly or a lot at any speed below 100 MPH. This assumes you are on a flat paved surface, don't turn the wheel back and forth, and don't hit another object. The car will start by understeering and screeching the tires - heck, it may even get to a point where the front tires hook up and the rears let get and it spins, but never have I had a vehicle tricycle - let along bicycle - by only turning one direction.
