Roll-over OMG we almost died....
So I am driving down the 101 between Tempelton and atascadero, I had just picked up my girl friend from her house in Paso Robles. Driving back I was in the "fast" lane doing about 70ish, and this van was in the "slow" lane. There was a tow truck putting a couples vehicles onto the back of it, at the moment the towtrucks bed was down, like a ramp. The van hits the ramp and launches sideways and rolls about 5 times RIGHT INFRONT of my FD. If it was not for the FD I would of not of been able to stop like I did and I would of hitten it as it rolled....
I guess that 7 can't lose.....?

so this van is driving down the slow lane and hits a ramp of a car trailer that is off the right side of the road and rolls left across the freeway into the fast lane?

And yeah, the tow truck driver was hit slightly and was walking around with a limp the whole time helping the guy out of the van. The guy was hurt and extermly dazed. He had a huge bump over his eye, I think he had glass in it. The guys' airbags did NOT go off and as he was tumbling on the highway I actually saw him flopping around inside.

So, if you were going 70 mph and he was going slower, how would he end up in front of you. AND How can you see him stumble IF you were on the wheel trying to avoid him. have other questions too but Im too lazy to tyep it. yeah, I know how it goes...have seen Miami Vice and CSI.
