That could have been a bad situation. It is good to see that no one was harmed.

On a side note, this is exactly why everyone should have a camera in the car. Not everyone experiences a situation like this.

Nah, looks like a clay/topsoil mix. Probably removing it from some worksite.

Care to share the particulars on what happened 7C7?

wow, I'd be sitting in the same position he was, but how embarassing just sitting ontop of a truck that tipped over. It looks funny but it's not kool at all. haha, I can't help it, its too funny.

Man yea, it was scarey as hell. First I see it on two wheels and I'm thinking this guy is cool he's trying to scare people. lol Then I see his ass laying that big ass truck down and it sliding my way. And yes I was scared lol Not scared like wet my pants, but scared like I'm not ready to die.(Got a lot of living to do)

Man I would've felt so bad if someone got smashed. On the camera comment, I got a bad ass phone that didn't even cost an arm and a leg. The camera on my phone is better than my actual digital camera lmao My actual camera is like a 3.5mp and my phone's camera is a 5megapixel. I love my new phone. If you want a bad ass phone and not the cookie cutter kind that everybody else has, check out sony ericsson.

I was coming up to that red light and I look to the left and see this dump truck coming down a hill. As I'm slowing down I notice he looks like he's hauling ass(no pun intended) to the light. He only looked to be going slightly faster than usual for a vehicle like that, but next thing I know is I see him turning right to go in the opposite direction I was traveling in. Thats when all hell broke loose. I see his right two wheels lift about 2ft then the whole thing just layed down and slid toward me. As soon as I saw it tipping I slammed my brakes. He ended up sliding about 3 car spaces infront of me. When I was sure he was done sliding I drove right up to the truck and hopped out. I ran up to see if he was ok and he said he was lol. He was sitting funny after that lol He looked like he was hiding from something. I bet he did wanna hide though. We got him to unlock the passenger side door and we held it so he could climb out. Someone asked him what happened and he said he was in a hurry and took the turn too fast. Cops showed up less than 5min of the whole thing. I took my phone out to take a pic lol and drove off.

nope. Actually, that was the turning lanes for my side of traffic. He's laying on top of the arrows. I understand how it looks that way to you though. Look at it again and look for the orange double stripes. Also the white line close to the trucks front bumper shows the divider for the two left turn lanes.

After that I was thanking God no one got hurt... including the driver.

yea, imagine someone saying, "What dumbass flipped this dump truck, oh... There he is." LMAO

yea, I like my SS better than the 5th gens, no offense to anyone. I'm after more raw performance and my car only looks stock and drives way better due to the work I've done(suspension, power, chassis, braking, exhaust sound). I think I could edge a 5th gen in the 1/8th and 1/4 too. And its a convertible 6spd Yea, I'd not want to do that.
