It doesn’t take much to startle drivers on a busy motorway. If an animal darts into traffic, drivers saw the wheel like they were setting up for a drift entry, which tends to really mess with other drivers nearby. So imagine what would happen if a 18-wheeler just happened to fall into the middle of rush-hour traffic? That happened in Toronto, Canada when the driver of this rig entered the ramp way too fast, broke through the concrete barrier and fell into the middle of afternoon traffic on Highway 401. Investigators determined that nothing was wrong with the tractor or trailer of the truck. The driver was taken to a nearby hospital for minor injuries, and his record is being reviewed by authorities, who haven’t charged the driver as of press time.

While the authorities are rightly focused on the driver, has anybody checked up on the welfare of the other people who were around when the truck landed on the highway? We’re willing to bet that the driver of the Sprinter in the video had a “Code Brown” moment to deal with.
