Audi TT crash on LIE
http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=traffic&id=3994838#
I saw this on the news this morning. Absolutely amazing that he survived. Click the video link, the bus had a camera like blackbox installed that videotaped collision. Also, more pictures on VW Vortex.

I saw that news report. Driver came out w/a neck injury, only...amazing.
. The owner of DriveCam was interviewed. As I recall, $1,200 to buy their simple package or $60/mo. lease. . Event Data Recorders: . http://www.drivecam.com/

Happened right down the road from me.
Roads around here, especially the LIE suck. The right and center lanes are so grooved from truck traffic it's scary. Almost impossible to drive the Porsche in those lanes. Switching lanes is like getting help from a slingshot, Not surprised about this at all. Scott

So, any reports on what made the semi veer so sharply?
