Portland Driver Somehow Survives Getting Run Over By Semi-Truck

We know cars are safer than they’ve ever been, but it can still be shocking to see the kinds of wrecks that people survive. Take, for example, a crash that took place over the weekend in Portland. Somehow, a car ended up underneath a semi-truck, completely destroying the top half of the car. And yet, the driver is still alive.

Portland Fire & Rescue tweeted about the crash Sunday evening, saying, “Crews are on the scene of a major accident involving a Semi Truck and at least one passenger vehicle at the on-ramp to I-84 East from I-205 Northbound. Expect major delays on I-205 North.” But even that undersold just how bad the wreck was. Two people needed to be extracted from their vehicles — one from their car and one from the semi-truck.
