Close call on camera

Josh Winquist

Recent video footage taken from a vehicle's dash camera, shows a semi truck, hauling a full load, nearly losing control of its back trailer as it turns a corner at a high rate of speed. 

The tires on the passenger-side of the back trailer come off the ground as it starts to swing out of control. The trailer flies past the driver with the dash camera, narrowly missing the passing vehicle.

The driver of the passing vehicle posted the video to his Facebook page. 

He alleges the semi was travelling on an Armstrong highway and estimates the rig must have been going 120 km/h.

Shortly after the semi passes the driver with the dash cam, footage picks up another car travel around the corner, seemingly oblivious to the near miss. 

The whole situation lasts less than 30 seconds.
