If you’ve ever been behind a truck carrying a massive load which you didn’t think was fastened properly, then you will definitely know the kind of images that pop up in one’s head in those instances. Well, a Florida woman materialized this scariest of driving fears, and was almost killed in the process.
She was driving behind a truck in Miami and as it went under the I-395 overpass, the driver of the big rig ignored the “no clearance” sign and ploughed on through, which, of course, makes him the culprit here. This dislodged both of the massive engines it was carrying on its trailer, which fell off.
One of the huge pieces of machinery landed right on the driver’s seat of the woman’s Honda Accord. However, she apparently somehow managed to slide into the passenger’s seat, and thus avoid certain death.
If that was the case, then she has good reason to be laughing, which she is doing, in the video posted below – an Local10 News snippet. This will make one hell of a story to tell grandkids in a few decades’ time, saying something like “if I hadn’t done what I did, half of this family would not have existed…”
