Dashcam Footage: Swerving Car Sparks Fiery Semi Explosion
A shocking highway video out of Vinita, Oklahoma, shows the terrifying moment a semi-truck erupts into flames after being hit by an out of control vehicle.
Dashcam footage captured the chaos as traffic moved normally on the highway, until a vehicle suddenly veered out of its lane and smashed into a semi-truck. The violent impact caused the big rig to overturn and instantly explode into a fireball, sending smoke and flames into the sky.
It all unfolded in seconds, leaving nearby drivers stunned and scrambling to avoid the wreckage. Several vehicles were on the road at the time, but it appears that only the swerving car and semi were involved. It was initially reported that the car was a wrong way driver, but it appears they just lost control.
