Holy snickerdoodles! The New Jersey driver filming this video must be one of the calmest people on the planet and possibly one of the luckiest as well.
The driver, who we came to know under his YouTube handle MrLegolize, had stopped on the New Jersey Turnpike I-95 on Sunday, January 18, after freezing rain and icy roads led to an accident with two trucks in front of him.
While he was recording the incident, suddenly, he turned the cell phone camera behind only to see a large semi losing traction and folding in two, heading towards the rear end of his car! Even though the truck missed the vehicle for a few feet crashing instead into (and over) the median, MrLegolize was as calm as tranquilized kitten!
Here’s what we said on YouTube:
“I was blocked by two trucks on south bound I-95 at exit 9 in NJ (New Brunswick exit). I only wanted to take a picture while i was awaiting for them to clear up… And then I heard noise from behind…I was barely missed,” he said.
“Once I turned off camera, I called in 911 and reported the accident. After that, I came to the truck and the rest of the cars to verify they were alright. After arrival of NJ State Trooper and his dismissal confirming that he does not require my presence, I left the scene,” he wrote.
