This happened in Denver this morning. According to the news report I heard, she was driving next to the truck, didn't see it and pulled into the next lane right under the trailer.
Now how the hell can someone miss a friggin' 18 wheeler right next to them????

Watch the slide show.
Obviously she had plenty of room to change lanes under the truck.
Thats almost as bad as the women who hit my car about 2 years ago. She hit me head on (in my lane mind you). Her excuse? She thought I was turning.
I would imagine there has been a movie or two that the stunt person had to maneuver that move in a car chase scene a dozen times to get it right. She was able to place the car between those wheels at the right speed amazingly well. Remember most women drivers were taught by their dads!.

I'm torn between: What a fucking idiot! and Wow, almost made it! either way I hope she gets a shit load of points for being a dumbass.
Probably yapp'n on the cell phone.
The best case for why any of the "soccer mom" variety of drivers, male or female, young or old, should all be banned from the roads is an instance in central illinois this past year. A cyclist on the far right shoulder of a road was riding, clearly visible, and a teenage girl downloading a ringtone to her phone went from the left lane, through the right lane, to the right hand side of cyclist (who was on the far right of the shoulder) and then hit and killed him. The ADA didn't even go for involuntary manslaughter, just a couple of minor violations that resulted in like a 6 month license suspension or probation.
Here's a link to an explanation: http://www.prairienet.org/mattslaw/?About_Matt%27s_Law

Or perhaps its the trucker's fault (think back to the movie Duel with Steve McQueen)
