DORAL, Fla. \u2014 Newly released dashcam footage shows the moments a pickup truck went airborne and crashed onto another vehicle, leaving one driver lucky to be alive.<\/p>\n
Video captures the scene as the truck plows through a concrete barrier and lands on top of an unsuspecting car. Debris — including shattered glass, a tire and twisted metal — is seen across the roadway as the pickup crushes the car beneath it.<\/p>\n
The crash happened on the Friday around 5 a.m. on the Palmetto Expressway, near Northwest 36th Street in Doral.<\/p>\n
Investigators say 26-year-old Reinerio De La Torre Toledo was driving the truck and is believed to have taken his own life moments before the vehicle went airborne. <\/p>\n
Detectives with the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office say a gun was recovered at the scene, and a witness said detectives mentioned finding bullet casings.<\/p>\n
The driver of the other vehicle has been identified as Jorge Reales of Miramar. A GoFundMe created by a family friend says Reales is unable to work and faces an overwhelming financial burden due to extensive medical treatment.<\/p>\n
At the time of the crash, authorities said the 57-year-old was in stable condition, though the full extent of his injuries was not immediately known.<\/p>\n
Traffic along the southbound lanes of the Palmetto Expressway was shut down for miles and remained backed up for hours. Aerial footage showed investigators examining the wreckage near a large hole left in the concrete barrier.<\/p>\n
Family and friends of Reales say they are grateful he survived and are asking for financial support as he recovers.<\/p>\n
