Definitely his lucky day. A beautiful rig destroyed but apparently no one badly hurt.
One of my two surviving aunts was hit head on not far from there 10 days ago when a small pick-up came across the median and those cable barriers. She's still in ICU and will probably never walk again.
Looking at the video frame by frame - the brake lights flash briefly, the right front drops at the same time as the MH starts to turn left. A large piece of a tire comes out from under the left side of the pickup after it is on the shoulder. The barrier turns the MH away from the opposite lanes. You can see posts being pulled from the ground and thrown in the air.
The barrier appears to be installed right at the bottom of the median near the drainage ditch.
At that point while traveling straight after crossing the concrete drainage ditch, the MH is pulling the cable along as it travels and right before it tips over, you can see a long section of the cable ripped out of the ground.
