HOLY MOTHER OF GOD... this almost happened to me when I was little. My dad was in his 280ZX and he had to slide the car right and had it hit the side of the door... Crazy stuff that this happened to this guy

From another copy of the video ( 2AAisoe5sU8 )

"Be prepared to be shocked ... and maybe get the beegeezus scared out of you!

This is NOT an April Fools Day joke - but it did occur on April 1, 2011. This really happened to a friend of my cousin's as the person drove to work on Hwy 74 near Shelby, North Carolina. The person happened to be using the camera phone because the truck and trailer in the video were sort of racing, not letting either pass, and the person thought the 2 vehicles might have an accident.

This is proof that accidents - and MIRACLES! - do indeed happen. My cousin assured me that the person filming was not hurt ... at least physically.

04/04/11 UPDATE: The person filming has uploaded this video to her YouTube account (WendyCobb) and it is only proper that I direct you there also. Please see her YT channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/WendyCobb "

wow...yeah i was totally expecting a truck to roll over or jackknife or something!! good god that was freaky, and lucky.

great job by the driver to hold on through the swerve/lane change.

was it weird to anyone else that the drive doesn't scream, say 'oh ****', or anything???

I watched it a few more times. The one hauling the trailer didn't even slow down, you could see how that plank spun and if the driver was a following little closer it could have been tragic

2 feet to the left and the person shooting the video would probably be dead.

Always leave a safe distance between you and other cars, especially trucks
