Anyone seen this one! This is the exact reason for a dashcam. The truck is destroyed but seems like it handled it well. These have curtain airbags right? Wonder why they didn't deploy.

Damn, that was quite the hit. Luckily not a head on. He walked away it seems.

I'm impressed how quickly he got connected with emergency services.

 

Capstone too. Man I'd be pissed.

 

Thought the side curtain airbags only deployed in a side crash/roll over

 

Maybe. I wonder if just a minute angle would trigger them. I've worked 100s of wrecks in my career and seen them deployed more times than not. Honestly, I always thought it was automatic if the front bags deployed. They are amazing at keeping glass out of the face from side windows and keeping the head from banging around.

I guess I'll be forced to refer to the book of knowledge ie. Owner's Manual ...ugh.

 

I bet the other driver does not have insurance either
