Default "Shockwave" Truck Crashes at AirShow

The heavily modified Peterbuilt uses 3 jet engines, same as the Navy T-2A trainer uses. It set a truck speed record of 376mph. They "race" acrobatic aircraft at airshows. From the video there appears to be tire failure followed by drogue parachute deployment followed by the truck losing directional control and rolling however nothing is certain at this early stage.
