Glad to see you're ok, those dump trucks don't have much give to 'em when they hit.

Looks as if he was turning right onto that road (from the OP's left) a bit too fast and the top-heavy dump truck tilted over....

yup, it didn't even look like it was happening fast. I just saw this big *** truck on two wheels and was thinking oh **** lol I thought it was going to slide into me. It stopped about 3 cars ahead of me then I pulled up real fast got out and checked on him. If you were me or anyone close to me you'da been scared. lol kinda makes me want a cage for my vert, probably wouldn't matter with that big *** truck though.

I had one of those before, only with a tire lol

Guess an 18 wheeler rim/tire combo let loose and started bouncing all over the place...towards my car lol I almost started crying because I could see it bouncing my way but I was in traffic so I couldn't reverse. About 3ft from my front bumper the thing launches up and over my car and smashes the suv in the other lane behind me...I laughed SO hard and was happy...that driver wasn't lol

Th tire hit the door so hard they couldn't open it.

I don't think you would have checked into heaven on that spill.. You may have gotten your car dirty and maybe a bruise or two but it really doesn't look that bad..

Top heavy truck turning to fast.. Tip over..

look closer. that truck is in my 2 turning lanes, If I was going to make a left and was about 1 car back in either of those lanes, it would've been ugly.
