Big Rig Truck Jackknifing


Occurred on January 16, 2023 / Hazelbrook, New South Wales, Australia

Info from Licensor: "I passed the truck about a km back. It had its hazard lights on, so I went around. Unfortunately it had trouble when it came down the hill behind me. I was slowing down because there was a delivery van in front of me and there were traffic lights ahead. The truck driver made a very quick decision to jack knife his vehicle, so it would not collide with me. I believe his quick thinking saved my life. I would have been squashed between a large truck and a smaller delivery van, had it not been for his quick thinking. Luckily the truck did not roll."
