Where they laughing, or just in shock. Holy cow that was more than just close and probably a combination of luck and fate. OMG

I bet the lighting was just cooking that *** & good thing you had the wind machine turned up high to keep things from puddeling up the floor. Hard work being a camera man, Just have to be ontop of all the details

It's amazing. Not many get to look death in the eyes and live to tell the story not to mention have it on tape.
Why do people drive around with the camera on, anyway?

What struck me ( ha ha ) is how amazing those winter tires are on the camera vehicle. He went from a high speed passing maneuver to dead stop beside the vehicle he was passing in mere seconds. That was really the difference . If his car doesnt stop dead... he will be ..

James I passed by that incident on the way home .. the 401 was closed for hours. If i remember right he had a minor incident or a ticket earlier that he felt was not his fault so mounted the camera to have evidence in the future

That's unreal. Driving alone and a massive trucks jumping the barrier from oncoming highway traffic. Wow. It's even more amazing that nobody was injured.
