Just found out my brother's in laws were involved in an accident last night. Evidently they were driving home on the highway, in the right lane. 18-wheeler was in the left lane. Father-in-law was driving, he gets about half-way past the truck when all of a sudden the trucker puts on his signal and starts coming over into his lane. Father-in-law punches it to get in front of the truck.
So the truck gets in behind him. Wife had been sleeping, wakes up, and says "is something wrong with the car?" Husband says "no, there's nothing wrong with the car other than that we're being pushed (literally, bumper on bumper) down the road at 65 mph by an 18-wheeler."
The truck pushed them right off the road, and the car rolled. Truck never stopped. Another trucker was right behind and saw the whole thing, he stops, calls 911, etc. etc.
Would you believe they both escaped with no broken bones? Cuts and bruises everywhere since all the glass shattered, and the wife has major road rash on one leg, but both were released today.
I assume they were wearing their seatbelts, although I don't know for sure. I do know they have a small car, a Cavalier or something similar I think.
I hope they find the guy, but neither of them was able to give any sort of description, and the trucker who stopped for them only got a partial tag.
