    so I am sitting at a red light. the current green light is for 2 lanes making a right turn into the opposite direction of the street I am on. there was an F150 and a Hyundai making the right turn roughly side by side. the Hyundai and the ford clipped each other which sent the Hyundai straight for me. he could have easily ran over the median and slammed into the side of my truck. fortunately, the Hyundai bounced off the median and went into a spin. he did a 180 and was facing the wrong way in the lane, but he still had momentum and then began traveling backwards. since his steering wheel was still turned towards the right from the turn, he spun around again and his backend headed for the median. the Hyundai bounced over the median and then stopped about a foot from the back of my truck.

    I have a rear facing dashcam which only caught the Hyundai coming to a stop at the rear of my truck, but you can hear the screeching tires and the impact the Hyundai made on the median. Near the end of the video, you can see the black ford on the shoulder on the opposite side of the road.

    they weren't going that fast around the corner so I wouldn't have been hurt if he hit me, but it still would have damaged my truck. I got lucky :)
