    seems to me the situation was different a bit. box truck driver was diatracted and when he realised that he approaches semi and no place to stop he directed truck to uncoming lane looking clear.

    All this crap usually happens in hundred mile from home. Drivers are tired, but they want to be home soon and start speeding and do mistakes.

    Yes I agree. We can't see why he was out there but I agree with your assessment, my comments are directed to the white car that drifted to the left in front of him and making contact, I have seen a lot of car and truck drivers stop thinking and driving the truck at that point and just let it go where it may, this driver kept driving the truck, if you look he had the drive wheels off the ground or nearly off the ground, first one side and then the other side, but he still kept driving the truck and came to a stop in the upright position. I wasn't sure however whether the car was pulling out to pass or to make a left turn, but he also stayed focused until he got stopped, my thought was that this could have turned out a lot worse than it did.

    yep, good drivers avoid bad situations, but IMO, driver must be trained well to keep control when crap happens

    Example when driver does fatal mistake, but recovers

    My guess, he needs to change his underwear and possibly his seat cushions.

    The truck was moving so fast, I doubt the driver of the car would've processed his imminent collision when looking.
