My co worker and I just came across a traffic hazard. On the great river highway in St. Cloud, MN (9th Ave North-- 4 lane at that spot) a nice looking dodge PU was stopped at a 20 degree angle making a right turn.

The driver said there was no warning or noise from any thing just a radical Bang, and a 5mph to zero stop in one foot. (no skid marks) What are your thoughts as to what happened? Jim
