Unfortunately I do not know the back story, this appeared on my FB feed via a local radio station.

It looks like someone came out of the windshield as the SUV was flipping. It is at the .05 second mark and looks like someone with a dark top and white pants. It looks like a person.

Damn, it looks bad but that trailer may have saved his life. Full speed into the back of that truck would have killed him for sure.

This is the backstory

quote:

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) A Manhattan man was taken to the hospital after his SUV was launched into the air after striking a trailer parked on the shoulder of I-70 in Riley Co. on Tuesday.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP), Greg Harris was taken to a nearby hospital. No one was in the 2006 Ford F350 attached to the trailer.

The KHP Crash Log indicates Harris was heading west on I-70 near mile marker 321, about 8 miles east of the Manhattan exit no. 313, around 9:00 a.m. when his 200 Jeep Cherokee inexplicably went onto the shoulder and hit the trailer.

The SUV went airborne and flipped before coming down in a nearby ditch.

A lot of 18 wheelers are starting to install dash cams, they also have a camera on the driver

If he was using his voice recognition software, I'm wondering if his text read...

Yeah, more and more people these days are getting them for insurance reasons. That's why those crazy Russians always have youtube videos of wild car accidents!

Probably a long stretch of highway where the suv was swerving on and off the road. Dude whipped out his camera and just waited.

I did the same with some stupid sorostitute txting and driving on 1-10. She never wrecked but swerved well out of her lane more times than i cared to count.
