That was such a hard right its got me thinking "suicide by truck".

What the hell happened?

At least seven people died. Dear God.

I had to watch it at rhapsodie's link, the Polish one wouldn't load the embedded video.

The opposite traffic has two cars trying to pass a truck when this one came crashing across and it doesn't look like they emerged from the fireball afterward.

That's such a hard panicky kind of left you wonder what happened, but we'll probably never know.

This is why you never flip off a truck driver.

Looks to me like the driver's had a stroke or heart attack or something.

yikes, that is really bad. The van the white truck clipped that came skittering toward the camera is going to have some serious nightmares for life, I'd bet.

That's awful. And I had the same thought as Hellbient.
