Why? We don't know what caused the car to go out of control. It may have had a
flat tire or other mechanical problem.

it looks a lot like one of them NASCAR cars that has a tire go down
and it immediately heads for the wall...

but I'm pretty surprised that truck went over that barrier .. I was
hoping those barriers would not let that happen...

that truck could have easily taken out a half dozen cars

Haven't seen much in the way of real updates yet.
One camera showed the grey car was originally in the extreme right lane,
perhaps a tad fast. Then gently nudges the front wheel of the truck which
causes the truck to move over into the far left lane. Trucker maybe over
reacting to what had happened.

Amazingly, as soon as it happened, all four lanes behind it came to a
complete stop.
