"Demi-échangeur" is a type of roadway, and I cannot see how it can collide with a trailer or semi-trailer, but it could also be some strange wording.
Maybe "en renard" means going up then down to go over a road, the truck being to high it hit the "échangeur", kind what a fox tail looks like when approaching carefully.
