i have had two, both with big trucks.
Last year I was driving to a funeral. Wife was driving as i was preparing to read the eulogy. Five minutes north of Viking we noticed a trucker hauling hay bails swerving towards us. Wife moves over so tires are touching the ditch. guy missed us by inches. He ended hitting the opposite ditch a few minutes down the road. Apparently he fell asleep. No one ended up getting hurt.
20 years ago i had a trailer jack knife in front of me on highway 9 just southwest of Drumheller. We were only doing about 30km/h. I remember closing my eyes expecting the worst. Came to a full stop and opened my eyes. The truck driver downshifted and ended up rear ending a guy in a Chevette. The truck driver came running out to see if i was okay before he checked on Chevette driver. They were driving slow so no one got hurt. Chevette wasn't in great shape though
