Narrow escape for US trucker
A motorist was filming the aftermath of truck accident on an icy New Jersey motorway when a second truck lost control behind him…Freezing temperatures are wreaking havoc on some US roads, as the driver of truck and double trailer combination found out first hand when they approached an earlier truck accident on New Jersey's Interstate 95 recently.
The second truck lost control in the icy conditions as the driver attempted to pull up for an earlier truck accident, the latter leaving a semi-trailer strewn across the three-lane motorway.
A stationary motorist was filming the aftermath of the first accident when they realised the second truck was sliding out of control towards them from behind. They then captured some terrifying vision of the juggernaut bearing down on them.
The sliding truck mounts a central divider and then jack-knifes before coming to rest – then another vehicle appears to impact the rear of the truck's second trailer.
Miraculously, and according to the person who posted the clip, everyone seems to have escaped the incident unharmed. Some days you just get lucky…
