Excellent scandinavian flick
When given enough time, all threads on RFD can and will go off on a tangent.

Happened as I was driving home. The white suv tried to stop but the car behind plowed him into the semi.

The white SUV was on cruise control? seemed there's steering input but no brake effort.

Strange that the silver SUV had enough force to push the white SUV into the tractor. It almost looked like the white SUV was going to hit the tractor anyway and the silver SUV gave it another push.

There was an initial plume of dust, so part of me thinks the white suv tried to brake off to the curb to avoid the semi, but lost traction on the dirt and still had enough momentum to jump the back of the semi.

I dunno, I watched the video over and over again. As I pause and play it slowly it does appear the white SUV was at a safe crawl (though really close to the truck) behind the truck when the silver SUV crashed into it at full speed. The silver SUV definitely didn't brake at all.

Hope the driver of the white SUV was okay. Went air born.


*edit*

By the way OP. You need to fix your date/time stamp. You titled your vid Oct 17th but your time stamp says the 18th @ 1:41am

Yea that was a pretty violent collision hope all are ok. Played it frame by frame and at around 8.5 sec the white SUV does veer to the right just before the silver SUV makes contact.

Please send it to the parties involved. This is going to be very helpful when the driver of the Nissan Rogue makes a liability suit.

Seeing videos that don't involve simple traffic violations, this is a welcomed change to this thread.

Yeah, I called the OPP detachment so see if they wanted it, didn't see anything on the news about it, hope it looks worst then it is.

This was yesterday on the DVP just around 630pm (don't mind the date and timestamp on my dashcam; it's not correct as it turned off and I didn't update it), would this be a 50/50 ruling ? Maybe an unsafe lane change and then you have the pickup sideswiping the white SUV ? No audio in the video, but while this was happening, you can actually hear the metal-on-metal scraping. I thought the side mirror on the pick-up would actually bend backwards, he's so close to the car.

He didn't care at the time but I did see him slowing down at the turn, and the white SUV was right on his tail. I hope they resolved it but I'm curious how something like this would be claimed.

I think there must have been an accident at the 401 East ramp. They closed it just as soon as I was about to enter it so I had to go to the West entrance.

It felt longer than it actually was. It was unnecessary for them to block both lanes once they had the two guys in cuffs. eventually, they blocked the left lane and let us go. Max 10 minute wait.
