18-wheeler Flips Over and Squashes Chevy Cruze, Driver Makes it Out Injured but Alive

A male driver of a rental Chevrolet Cruze was involved in what can only be described as a nightmare scenario for any road user when an 18-wheeler truck loaded with cardboard boxes flipped on its side and landed on top of the compact sedan. The accident took place in the northbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway in Texas in the late morning hours of Thursday.
The large rig also knocked over the concrete center barrier and hit another vehicle, a black Volkswagen Touareg, hurling it over the median and onto the other side of the road.
The man wedged under the truck's trailer was 49-year-old Gregory Neece, who despite the seriousness of the crash, made it out alive. Neece did suffer injuries to his back and neck but according to officials, he was doing better on Friday.
According to reports, the two passengers in the Touareg were not hurt.
Police are still investigating the accident, though officials suggested that the truck driver might have lost control of the vehicle due to a shift in the load he was carrying and because he may have been going too fast.
