An Oregon State police trooper got more than he bargained for as a semi-truck crashed while the trooper was on a routine traffic stop.

You Won't Believe Your Eyes: Jaw-Dropping Semi Crash Caught on Oregon Highway

An OSP camera caught a semi-truck failing to navigate a curb on the infamous Sexton Summit on I-5 southbound near milepost 68.

The video is startling and shocking as the driver fails to make the curb and flips his semi-truck over as OSP wrap up a traffic spot. I'll assume the soon-to-be ticketed driver got a pass as the OSP officer raced to his vehicle to see if the semi-truck driver is ok.

Luckily, the driver wasn't injured, and no other vehicles were involved in the accident.

OSP made a note on their Facebook posting explaining the accident:

This crash occurred at the Sexton Summit, a known trouble spot due to the sharp curve, excessive speeds, and frequent wet road conditions. The curve has a recommended speed of 60 mph, but the CMV — carrying 75,000 lbs of large paper rolls — was traveling too fast to negotiate the curve safely.

Breathtaking Highway Drama: Shocking Semi Truck Crash Video from Oregon

The video is shocking as the semi flips on its side and slides along I-5.

OSP is reminding drivers, especially commercial drivers, to slow it down on wet roads.

The video shows the danger of navigating a curve at a high speed and what happens if you fail to navigate it. It doesn't look like a fun day for the driver of the paper towel truck.
