An A&M University Professor in College Station, Texas, captured heart-stopping video of a cement truck barreling toward his car Tuesday afternoon. The truck driver plowed through a red light, swerved to avoid traffic and lost control, tipping over as he slammed into the car, KBTX reports.
Dr. Guan Zhu installed the dashcam in case he got into an accident, and it’s a good thing he did, since the video helped him recreate what transpired in the blink of an eye. “I could not remember in my memory, a truck is coming,” Zhu said, “and I could not remember exactly how it happened and then the video says that’s how it happened.”
