Yikes - https://jalopnik.com/unaware-dump-tr...a-m-1846563087 The driver of the Mini, 26-year-old Courtenay Erhardt, thankfully emerged from the incident self-reporting only “minor injuries.” The driver of the dump truck was unharmed.

The initial collision happened on an on ramp to Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway. Erhardt says the dump truck struck her Mini from behind, spinning the hatchback perpendicular in front of the truck. The truck’s driver apparently couldn’t see any of this, and kept on accelerating onto the highway’s rightmost lane.

 

Sorry, there is NO WAY that truck driver had no clue for half mile?! Crazy story, but there has to be more that hasn’t been reported.

 

Trucker road rage my guess...apparently no alcohol related charges.....

 

No way in hell. MINIs don't weigh much, but they certainly weigh enough that when pushed sideways require significant power to overcome the weight and friction. At the end it says something like 'onlookers think the MINI cut off the dumptruck on the onramp' - I betcha this guy said F-YOU! and did it on purpose. If you look at the video loop snippet, the MINI seems to be sticking out enough on the driver's side of the truck that the driver should be able to see the MINIs hood. I don't buy it. Says the truck driver was charged with multiple offenses - I think one of those must have been 'being baked'.

 

One thing not shown is how tough these li'l guys are. I saved these off of NAM a few years back.
