Dashcam captures wrong way driver slamming semi in Ohio

I believe that the trucker did what he could in the time he had, but the suspension did not show a serious evasion attempt. I also think he was a doubles so his mindset would be a little less hard getting out of that lane. Dont want to overturn that second trailer. That car would have rammed someone up there if it got by him. So I call it either drugged out or intentional on the car's part.

I have actually been in this scenario myself several times in trucking and actually had to evade so Ive been there done that. Its really fast and really tragic waste. If anything the trailer is replacable not the tractor and one skilled driver.

 

Looked as if the 4 wheeler didnt anticipate there being a wiggle waggon and dove for the rear tandems

 

I'm slightly amused by the commentary by the guys who had the camera. Wonder how long it took them to realize they had it on tape?

 

I found out our cameras only work under certain conditions. Very disturbing. You think you are protected but you aren't. I would advise everyone to talk to safety and get the lowdown.

 

That's a weird setup, rear window cam. I don't think it's a commercial vehicle. So it was probably the car owner's personal cam.

 

Hell of a job on the driver's part keeping his set upright. I thought for sure the rear box was going over.
