I was driving 60 the speed limit on a rainy day in southern Cali when a truck appeared out of nowhere, spinning into my path. I had a very brief ‘oh shit, this could be the end of me and my wife ‘ moment and then I calmly swerved to the left into oncoming lane that was empty at the time. The back of my car clipped the spinning vehicle at probably full speed perhaps slower If I slowed down (I can’t remember if I did) and we spun a complete rotation and a half to end up on the oppoite side of the road facing the opposite direction. My wife went into full panic mode while I was as calm as I’d ever been for reasons unknown to me. I realized later had I panicked and waited a second longer to take action, we’d likely both be dead now. I don’t know if t all happened too fast or if my mind decided to stay chill instead of panicking, but I’m glad i did what I did and that there were no cars in the other lane.
