Soon Everybody Will Have a Dash-Cam

Driver Documents His Close Call

AFTER A YOUNG MAN IN ONTARIO PROVINCE became an accident victim, he had a “dash-cam” mounted in his VW Tiguan.  It came in handy on Friday morning around 8:15 am while traveling on Highway 401 near Guelph.  Looking down the road he could see a tractor-trailer in the oncoming lanes of the divided highway starting to lose control with its trailer swaying.  He hit the brakes “pretty hard” allowing a truck to the right of him to pass so that he could change lanes and avoid the pending crash.

His new dash-cam caught it all and he shares it with us here:

 

The CTV Network ran a story on this near-miss and they interviewed him.  You can watch that video interview HERE.

Even though a total of six vehicles ended up crashing as a result of this escapade, nobody was hurt including the truck driver.

Missouri Ambulance Damaged in Hit-and-Run Wreck

Comments Off

A CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI, AMBULANCE stopped at an emergency scene early Sunday morning was struck from behind by a pickup truck that immediately fled the scene.

The ambulance owned by the Cape County Private Ambulance firm had just pulled up to the location and had its emergency lights flashing when the gray pickup rear-ended it.  The driver of the truck then backed up, pulled away and drove down a side street.  The collision occurred just moments before the medics would have been at the rear unloading the cot.
