Wow, thanks for the full video. I saw a short clip on the national news on Wednesday morning. The 21-yo woman was extremely fortunate to be alive. So is the tow truck driver that parked his vehicle in the passing lane on the other side of the Interstate highway. It took 2 driver dummies to make this movie stunt work. Her car hits the lowered tow truck ramp at full speed. The car goes airborne and takes off the right side of the tow truck cab. The stunned tow truck driver is walking in front of his truck and ducks for cover. Her flying car flips upside down and lands on its roof on the highway pavement and median grass. Police expected the worst. No one was badly hurt in this crash. There were valuable lessons learned by several people. 1. Pay attention while driving on the Interstate. 2. Do not park in a lane on the Interstate. 3. Do not assume anything at a crash site. 4. Keep your head on a swivel...pay attention!

That looked like a Joie Chitwood stunt...lol A blast from the past...Joie Chitwood Thrill ShowI remember him and his show well. They even came to my small town. His stunts might not be all that spectacular by today's standards, but as a kid, I thought they were very cool. Keep in mind, these were pretty much stock automobiles with few modifications. Here is what I wonder about this incident. If that car the gal was driving was a Tesla or even one of many cars made today with automatic braking.... would that have even happened? Or...be something.... like this

Some personal injury lawyers would have instantly blamed Elon Musk's s/w and sought a big chunk of his company's money.
