Looks like scene out of a movie. I was surprised the car was able to push the truck over the median and look at it slide!

it looked like the driver in the car did it intentionally, like it was road rage

Not really, as all the car needed to do was to move the front wheels of the truck slightly. If the truck was loaded and it's freight shifted from the abrupt change in direction, the truck driver would have lost control almost immediately.

Happened here in Dallas. According to the reports I read, the driver of the car had been driving recklessly & not paying attention.

BTW, the man in the Cayenne is extremely lucky.

Makes sense. We saw this on the news yesterday and it seemed very odd that a car that small could do that to a truck... but now it all falls into place.

I can't believe that black SUV and the silver Porsche missed the truck. They're both damn lucky...
