Hello all, so I'm tooling down I-80 eb minding my own biz, when I see a wb p/u dive into the median. My 1st thought was 'that cops goin a little fast to be flippin around'. I'm the next 1/100th of a second, I realize it ain't no cop and he must be doin 100+ this guy is comin straight at me! I jump on the brakes hard enough to send a critical event over the qc to the co. At this point, I'm thinkin its a done deal. This guys gonna die and ill be lucky if i get away with serious onjuries! At the very last 1/1000th of a second either this guy woke up or the hand of God took over! He missed me what had to be inches! He passed me down my right side on on the eb shoulder. I look in my mirror, he's on his brakes for just a second then gasses on it and crosses over the median back to the wb lanes. Closest ccall I've ever had. Just thought is share. Thank you Jesus for letting me (and the other guy) live to see another day. Be safe everyone.
closest call of my life!
