I have a feeling that the wheel or suspension was damaged by the car causing it to head to the medium. Then the weight and high cog took the truck over the wall. I say the Honda was lucky.

Hard to tell what's going on there, as the video start late (after there has already been contact) but it looks like the truck came over and the trailer tires hit and spun the back of the Accord into the front of the truck.

Whats even more impressive is the Cyanne that dodged the truck in the oncoming lane, the reaction from that guy. Way to go good reaction time Cyanne man

The Accord hit the truck in the right steer tire. That would have yanked the wheel out of the driver's hand and steered it right into the median. Once you start a turn that fast, at that speed, the trailer is doing the steering.

...But I think the trailer tires essentially did the "pit maneuver" to the Honda, to make it suddenly veer into the truck's front steering wheel in the first place. I can't say for sure without seeing a few more frames prior, but that's what it looks like.
