The link does not work for me, but I would guess it had something to do with a tire blowing? Sure saw a bunch of body damage done by tires blowing on big rigs back in my tire man days. ~Jeff

I'm sure there was a least one tire blown though.

Wierd. Runaway/no brakes?

And the camera vehical? Looked kind of like they were continuing on?

That's what struck me.  They definitely just drove off.  How can you see that sort of thing, and just drive away?  I wouldn't want to stop in the smoke, figuring someone would plow me, but surely there's a safe spot to be found.  Don't just drive away from someone who could desperately need help.

It looked to me like they were pulling over, by the location of the shoulder stripe and hood, hopefully they were diving to the end of the wreck where the cab of the truck was so they wouldn't have to wade thru all the debris to get to the driver. The ones that get to me are the ones that keep filming instead of putting the camera down and helping. I've seen this on several videos of wrecks..
