Tractor Trailer Clips Lifted Ford Super Duty: Video

Sometimes, even when you do everything right behind the wheel, unforeseen circumstances beyond your control can take you out. Dashcam video of a lifted Ford Super Duty smashing into a tractor trailer recently surfaced on social media, and while it’s easy to jump to conclusions, it appears that neither driver is entirely at fault.

The lifted Ford Super Duty swerves in front of the cammer seemingly out of nowhere. A close look reveals that something may have been wrong with the pickup before it shot across traffic, as one of its tires appears to be down, either due to an issue with the tire itself or perhaps the suspension. Either way, the pickup’s driver loses control and skids out of the lane and directly into the path of oncoming traffic.

The semi’s driver attempts to jerk the tractor trailer out of the way, but there’s nothing they can do, and the Ford Super Duty piles into the cab. Parts go flying and the Super Duty limps away, but both the pickup and the tractor trailer are out of frame, so the full extent of the damage isn’t visible.

The video’s caption reads, “Truck Driver’s Stupid Move Punished!” but it seems that a mechanical failure sent the Super Duty into the path of the pickup, not necessarily driver error.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time a Ford Super Duty has been the subject of a viral video. Another pickup took a ridiculous detour onto a school’s football field, although this one had been stolen and was being taken for a joyride. Someone else had the brilliant idea to trick their Ford F-450 into driving itself with BlueCruise, placing bean bags on the steering wheel to simulate the pressure of a driver’s hand to keep the system active. And who knows – maybe that’s what sent the above Ford Super Duty into oncoming traffic.
