Truck eats Maxima, driver fails to notice

The two cars collided after a truck hauling 50,000 pounds of carrots was going up the pass and came upon an even slower-moving truck. The first truck moved left into the No. 4 lane to pass the slower truck when it struck a Nissan Maxima, according to CHP.

The Maxima became lodged under the truck, and the car and its 34-year-old driver, an Oak Hills man, were dragged along.

Of course the driver of the truck didn't know, cameraman didn't have to be a **** to the driver.

Thats crazy, the truck driver look like a fool, not knowing when to look before making a lane change, that's pretty scary.

How can you not feel you are dragging almost 2 tons of metal over the pavement?

Kind of crazy for the camera to pull up so close to the Max, what if it dislodged? He would have been right in the danger zone.
