Have you ever felt a bit unsecured during winter, while driving on a highway that has no impact protection between the lanes? Thinking “Oh God, I hope it's not having any mechanical fault...” every time an oncoming truck passes by?
Well, the guy that was filming this next event probably thought that too. Especially when the incoming truck started steering towards his lane. Lucky him having sharp reflexes and getting away undamaged.
The driver of this big 24-ton semi truck lost control of the vehicle, jackknifed and started skidding uncontrollable, smashing an incoming car and continuing towards the car that provided this footage. It’s driver braked violently and seeing that the truck is no were near about stoping, he started reversing. By the miracle of the semi’s cab position and the dynamic laws, the truck suddenly changed direction and missed the lucky driver by a couple of meters.
