    I am calm. I was able to zoom in on the video. The drivers airbag was deployed (which means the driver was indeed buckled up-probably the only smartest thing the driver did). Nonetheless that kind of accident is usually results in severe injuries,if not fatal-especially if the other vehicle is a semi!
    I actually had a car totaled like that(luckily I wasn’t it-it was parked in front of my house!). Had I been in the car I literally would’ve been dead. And I’ve had too many close calls with wrong way drivers living in MA to count.

    Statics show that many wrong way drivers swerve back at the last seconds. Just sayn.
