My guess is the driver fell asleep and drifted over to the shoulder.

I get these errors only when my sound hardware isn't enabled (because I have an external USB sound card).

That looked way too controlled to be an accident.

Dont do drugs kids, lest you end up a real life character of GTA5.

You ever lookin into the background of how they setup those trucks to take those massive jumps?

Apparently the stunt men were suspended in bunjee cords to sustain the impacts.

After destroying several trucks due to the huge jumps, a custom built jump truck was built as a solution. It had a reinforced frame and heavy duty axle trusses, dual shocks all around, suspension limiting straps, lift blocks, and a steel weight box in the bed (which was loaded with up to 800 lbs of lead for a jump) and a mid-mounted engine that actually sat in the middle of the cab. This greatly reduced the number of trucks scrapped during the show's production.

The Fall Guy.. Holy shit, I remember I had a Tyco Slot Car set of this haha.

The 2nd jump is crazy - watch how the suspension and steering rod bend from the impact. And the Camaro jumping and then a generic explosion is classic.. No epic haha.

Pretty good I would say considering how popular dash cams are today. Driver of the SUV right after the jump is probably said, "how come it worked in the movies?"
