Quick-thinking trucker prevents disaster in tight parking spot

A dramatic moment was captured on a trucker’s dash cam, showing a quick-thinking driver saving a fellow trucker from a potential disaster. The incident happened in early October 2024.

The scene: A parked truck was stationed between two other semi-trucks when the action unfolded.

  • A truck on the left started pulling out and misjudged the turn.
  • The trucker on the right, standing by, was alerted just in time to avoid getting hit.

The aftermath: The middle truck did sustain damage as the pulling-out truck grinded against it.

While the alert driver couldn’t save his truck from harm, everyone walked away unscathed from the incident. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
