Stopped in the middle of the highway, the pickup truck crashed and caught fire

Follow Star Tribune, the Chevrolet Silverado of Susan Norberg – a 42-year-old female driver in Minnesota – hit a deer crossing the I-35 highway, causing the airbag to deploy and the car to stop operating. Susan cannot drive to the curb.

The pickup was located in the middle of a large 3-lane highway. The cars behind took turns steering to avoid until the black semi-trailer could not dodge, crashing straight into the rear of Susan’s car. The red pickup swerved to the side of the road and caught fire.

Susan and her 12-year-old daughter escaped death by getting out of the car and running towards the curb before being stabbed from behind. The driver of the trailer was also unharmed, while both vehicles were badly damaged.

“I was too scared when I heard the sound of a car rushing past, so I thought I had to get out or I would be easily hit,” the female driver said.

Minnesota police’s guidance when the vehicle is in trouble to stay in the middle of the highway is to call for help but do not get out of the vehicle, because crossing several freeway lanes can be dangerous. But in this case, not following the instructions of the police helped the mother and daughter escape, Carscoops comment.

This news site further analyzes that the semi-trailer shows no sign of slowing down or steering away even though the side of the road is very open, so if the driver does not have health problems, it is likely that he is glued to your phone or navigation system.
