Ya don't see many like this aside from in action movies.  Apparently there was a crash on the overpass that sent the truck driver plummetting to his death.  The other driver was not injured.  R.I.P. to the driver, regardless of who was at fault.

    I've come upon the aftermath of some danged horrendous wrecks out on the highways and Not Always on an Interstate. Fairly certain That Driver had NO chance of survival.  Cry Long before it became a thing on You Tube I've been brake checked by less than smart folks. I was generally at or near Max Gross Weight-40 TONS 80000 POUNDS! I have zero idea what led up to this accident. And Trust me when I say-18 wheelers Are NOT as Stable as you'd like to think they are. As a suggestion should you know someone who "THINKS" brake checkin an 18 wheeler is cool or fun or funny tell em from me-it ain't cool or fun or funny could end up DEADLY!  Evil NOT saying that was what transpired in this case. May that DRIVER R I P.  angel RIDE SAFE.

I came across this last week but it’s actually from 2020,  a cop car went air born after a high speed pit maneuver.

Both cars into a drainage culvert, suspect does a roll, cop car uses undercarriage of suspect vehicle as a ramp and flies through telephone pole. Officer ok, suspect DOA at scene.
