That was nasty. It should be easy to find the Cayenne. Some shop had to clean the stains out of the seat.

Watch the whole thing - it gives the reverse angle and the Cayenne survives by moving into the 1st lane. No swerve, no roll, mad skillz, yo. Best part? Everyone survived!

hate to say it but sometimes it's less catastrophe if the truck drivers just plow into that one stupid car, especially the one that blatantly cuts off any semi truck

that damn center divider is strong!!!

Have heard how nicely the Cayanne's handle. That was some driving and was glad to hear nobody died in what could have been a very bad situation.

I believe that some of these center medians need to be build higher and stronger for such incidents.
