This you've got to see.
Can't believe the carnage in this.
This kicks out of the park that "wedding phographer getting wet" video
gets real interesting at 20 sec mark.
Amazingly, the two drivers walked away.
It should end up on the news bulletins somewhere

Haven't seen any stills so don't know if anyone got the shots.

One of the drivers in the wreck was Bruno Junqueira, (external link) a former Indianapolis 500 pole sitter who crashed early out of this year's 500-mile race and once drove for Chip Ganassi in CART.

That was just yesterday? Pretty crazy.

The question remains: Why? They are semi's; someone has too much time on their hands to promote tractor trailer racing events.
