Pickup driver turns basic rear-end crash into wreck with two semis

A motorist in a pickup truck chooses to veer into the path of two different semi trucks instead of rear-ending another car in this video. 

In the clip, a motorist in a pickup appears to be driving distracted when he suddenly realizes he is about to run into the back of a line of stopped traffic. Rather than rear-end the car in front of him, the pickup driver makes a seemingly panicked decision and veers to the left. 

The motorist’s move sends him into the direct path of a semi truck, causing him to bounce off the front right side of the truck hood and be pushed in front of the rig, sending him partially into the next lane on the left. 

As the pickup’s hood pokes out into the next lane, a second semi truck clips it, causing even more damage.

Looks like a last-minute panic decision to us. Watch for yourself below.
