    Van driver knocked completely out of wrecked vehicle window after HGV collision | Watch (msn.com)

    Wow, just wow. Words can't do justice at how lucky the driver was. Unfortunately, there were 2 other guys off to the left that didn't fare as well. It looks like his passenger was the one down on the ground after everything settled. The lady with the stroller barely escaped too and thankfully the stroller protected the baby from shrapnel. Not sure what the driver was seeing because he completely ran the light with an oncoming fuel truck barreling down the road and he had an unobstructed view.

    I would be willing to bet that when the adrenaline wears off he is much more injured than that video showed. But he’s lucky regardless, even if it looks like he was the guy at fault.

    Didn't see any other guys, but did see people running off toward something/someone off camera.

    That dude is almost as lucky as that chick in LA a week or so back who killed six people slamming into an intersection going 100 mph. Also walked away relatively unscathed. I don’t understand how.

    There was one guy sitting up and then lays over and doesn’t move again. A second guy comes on screen and was clearly involved, either a third person in the cab or another car/bystander.
