On June 18, 2025, the Kansas Highway Patrol released dash cam footage showing a car making a dangerous pass on the shoulder to get around a semi truck.
The video details: The dash cam clip was sent in by Doug Bradley Trucking, capturing a small car racing up the shoulder and zipping past a big rig on a Kansas roadway.
- A KHP trooper shared the video as a warning about risky driving around semis.
- The trooper pointed out that in most crashes between cars and trucks, it's the car drivers who are at fault, not the trucker.
- The trooper added, “Thanks to Doug Bradley Trucking, Inc. here in Kansas for sharing this video… And a big thank you to all the professional truck drivers out there doing it right.”
By the numbers: Studies mentioned by the Highway Patrol show cars, not trucks, cause the crash about 80 to 85 percent of the time when a semi is involved.
The incident is another reminder that truckers face dangerous moves from impatient motorists on the road every day.
