Guess who got the ticket.
Driver had to be sleeping or TXTing.
GMC light-duty trucks prior to 1999 are not used to being crumbled easily like that!
I wonder if that crash was staged for NBC news?
Just kidding in regard to this crash video, but not the staged NBC news incident.
Looks like it has a bowtie badge, and much newer than 99. The only explanation for it bursting into flames like that though, would be movie propQuote:

The big truck was already riding the lane divider as it the driver was not paying attention and never swerved or slowed prior to the crash.
Driverless big truck... size matters.Quote:

Pick-up trucks post-1999 came with several sections frame system. The ability of a single long-frame truck to withstand impact is way better than a flimsy sectioned frame. The damaged truck in the video is a good testimony to what I am talking about.Quote:
