Check this out......just outside Flagstaff , Arizona on U.S. Hwy 100.

Look at the picture above, and you can see where this driver broke through the guardrail, on the right side of the culvert,
where people are standing on the road, pointing.

The pick-up was traveling about 75 mph, from right to left, when it crashed through the guardrail.

It flipped end-over-end, bounced off and across the culvert outlet, and landed right-side-up on the left side of the culvert,
facing the opposite direction from which the driver was traveling.

The 22-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger were unhurt, except for minor cuts and bruises.

Now, look at the second picture below . . ...

Lucky or what.

Imagine getting out of the right hand side of the pickup dazed to find the ground was much further away then you taught.:)

Unlikely.
Those truck-mounted cranes are usually operated by remote control or by manual levers on the outside.
