State Patrol Capt. Bryan Niewind said both the pick-up and the semi were southbound on Highway 281 just after 6:00 p.m. when the pick-up slowed to take a left turn at the junction with 75th St. SE. The semi, which was traveling behind the pick-up, pulled into the northbound lane to pass the the pick-up and hit the drivers side of the pick-up as it turned.

There is no such thing as a left turn on a limited access freeway/motorway.

You're describing an older state road or US Highway that has intersections, which has all the risks that come with intersections amplified by higher speed limits.

I didn't describe anything, I was merely refuting the claim "reason being you can’t really get t-boned on the driver side on a highway".

I quoted a news article that specifically described a highway where a vehicle was t-boned on the driver side and exactly how it occurred. You can add additional parameters such as "new highways" to narrow the original claim and refute my argument, I really can't defend against that. I really shouldn't need to.
