CAJON PASS (CBSLA.com) — A driver says he’s lucky to be alive after his car became wedged under a truck and was dragged four miles up the Cajon Pass.
Cellphone video captured the unbelievable sight of a maroon Nissan Maxima clearly stuck under a truck hauling 50,000 pounds of carrots that continued driving up the remote canyon pass Wednesday at about 3:21 p.m. The driver in the sedan can be seen waving his hands for help behind a shattered windshield and crushed hood.
A California Highway Patrol statement said the truck was driving 30 mph northbound on Interstate 5, north of State Route 138, in the truck lane when it began to move into the left lane. The Maxima, while trying to pass into the left lane also, collided with the truck and became lodged, according to the CHP.
Witnesses said they thought the car had been dragged for miles, but CHP officials said the Maxima had been dragged for “approximately .7 of a mile.”
Brian Steimke posted the Facebook video, in which you can hear him saying in disbelief, “Look at that. Oh my God.”
Other drivers honked to get the truck driver’s attention, and one finally got in front to stop the truck.
