"I almost hit this white [Jeep]. It was so close."
That's what a 麻豆传媒映画man says almost happened when a vehicle turned abruptly across the intersection he was driving through on Sunday (Jan.30).
The man's dashcam footage shows his car travelling south down Oak St. on a dark, rainy night. As he does, a white Jeep turns sharply across the intersection and he narrowly misses colliding with it.
Sam (who prefers not to disclose his last name) told 麻豆传媒映画 via email that the incident took place just after 6:30 p.m. at the intersection of Oak and 57th Ave.
"At that time, there were only [three] vehicles in my sight heading south," he explained. "It was very empty compared to the opposite direction,"
While he was following the vehicle in front of him, Sam admits that he was travelling over the speed limit at about 59 to 61 km/h, according to his GPS data.
"There was a vehicle waiting to turn left at the leftmost lane. I kept at a distance from the vehicle in front of me, and I think that's why the white Jeep thought there was no coming traffic and decided to turn," he said.
This is the first time Sam has ever experienced a close call but he hopes "everyone drives safely."
