A semi truck fell off a bridge in Detroit after being cut off by a car, and somehow the driver was able to walk away uninjured.
The incident happened on northbound Interstate 75 on Sunday afternoon. According to Michigan State Police First L. Michael Shaw, the semi truck was cut off by a car, and swerved into the left shoulder, where he struck the barrier between the north and southbound lanes and lost control.
After striking the median barrier, the driver over-corrected all the way across the lane and broke through the outside barrier, causing the truck to plunge off the bridge.
The rig was decimated.
Miraculously, the driver walked away uninjured.
