WA Trooper Tweets About Car Folded in Half in Semi Truck Wreck

“There’s really not a word to describe this collision.” That’s according to Washington State Trooper Rocky Oliphant, after a stunning incident where a semi-truck folded a Nissan Altima in half along I-5 over the Skagit River.

According to Trooper Oliphant, the truck struck the Altima from behind, before eventually coming to rest on top of the flattened vehicle, MyNorthwest.com reports.

“Miraculously,” there were only minor injuries reported, he noted, despite the driver of the folded car being trapped in their vehicle while awaiting rescue from responders.

“In my 14 year career, I have never seen anything like it,” Oliphant said.
