I've seen this before and each time it makes me sick to my stomach. The biggest thing I'd like to know is if the driver and any passengers walked away from it.

I was wondering the same. Looks like it came down right on the drivers side pretty hard.

Seen the video before. Typical bigshot trying to look cool cruising through the lot like the 5'er is no big deal!
At the time when this happened there was a news article with pictures. The roof came down and shaved the side of the truck! It didn't come down completely on the trucks roof, but did pretty much total the truck. IIRC the driver/passenger were unharmed.

Does anyone have a news article link or anything?

V10 and looked like 2 wheel drive. I guess that trailer is to haul his B@LL$ around.

One of the first signs you should not enter a possible water hazard is by bystanders holding cameras.
