Quick-thinking trucker prevents jackknife on icy road

A dash cam video captured an unexpected rescue on an icy road involving two truckers. The event, which took place on February 13, 2025, demonstrates the unpredictable nature of winter driving.

What happened: As one trucker was overtaking a driver hauling doubles, the second rig began to jackknife. This could have turned into a severe accident.

  • The passing truck inadvertently collided with the doubles rig.
  • This collision possibly prevented the truck from fully jackknifing.

Details: Commenters pointed out the speed of the passing driver, suggesting that regulations might not have been adhered to under such conditions. Nevertheless, no injuries were reported.

It's a scene that shows how sometimes, unexpected actions can avert bigger mishaps. Both drivers were fortunate to leave the scene unscathed, even if their trucks required towing.
