Two cannon rolls, two dragon pipe ramps, two T-bones and a jackknifing truck all in the same 250 feet of the freeway,
all at 60 miles an hour.
Dominika Schoenborn
one vehicle on top of another
Explanation:
This refers to a situation where one vehicle goes up onto another, usually a truck going over/on to a car or a larger truck onto a smaller truck. Looks kind of how a vehicle looks when it's going onto a ramp (sort of). Once again, these are all accident terms. HTH.
