    Dumb luck my ass! I'm going to call that an act of God, a miracle. It's incredible that he walked away.

    Poor guy's gonna have a few nightmares there.

    Although "not hurt", he had to be some kind of sore the following day.

    Per the video, he "grabbed the steering wheel, closed his eyes, and prayed" as he was crashing.

    Apparently he drives with no hands on the steering wheel under normal circumstances? And closing your eyes, that's solid accident avoidance training right there. Hey, you can't target fixate if you ain't got a target.

    Maybe he should have turned off the light and used the horn to scare them away - somebody on here said it would work :rolleyes:

    Or perhaps it means he gripped the steering wheel harder :rolleyes: And he said he only did that when he noticed he was trapped between the two trucks. Kind of hard to go anywhere when you have a solid wall in front of and behind you :rolleyes:

    Agree! Not only did he walk away he helped pull others out that were hurt in the massive pile up. True hero!
