Class A Tire Blow and Roll-over
I am sure this is old and has been posted before but made me wonder.... How much did the driver's actions play into the final outcome? Link to YouTube video

Sorry to bring this up again, but I thought it was interesting that Gas Monkey Garage posted this video up on Facebook (they're click ****** that get paid for sharing videos just like other "celebrities"). I commented on the video and the daughter-in-law of the driver (or so she claims) replied with:
- He was going 67 MPH in a 70 MPH zone, as verified by the GPS in the camera of the truck he was passing (too fast, IMO, but I didn't debate it with her)
- Driver had 40-years experience driving big rigs, had a CDL
- The cable barrier flipped the rig over
- It did indeed slide across all the lanes of the opposite side of the highway
- Driver sustained cuts and bruises, passenger was partially ejected through the front windshield and broke their collar bone
