Truly a miracle  Driver pinned between 2 Semi's Kaleb Whitby told "Fox and Friends" Monday he was driving his Chevy Silverado along a foggy and icy Interstate-84 near Baker City, OR. Saturday morning when he noticed a jackknifed truck ahead of him, blocking the entire roadway.
Knowing he would not be able to avoid crashing into the truck, Kaleb drove his vehicle into the trailer.
The next thing I know, I look out my back window and see the lights of a semi-truck barreling down on me, he told "Fox and Friends." It was then I didnt even look at it. I turned back and faced forward and closed my eyes.

kind of missleading picture as most of his truck would be under the two semi's. It would only have been the top of his cab that was crushed. Wouldn't say that. The occupied part is still rather tightly pinned. Wasn't his day to go.

That was right near my hometown; and that stretch of freeway is always nasty. Can't believe it wasn't worse! Never understand how they think blurring out the left and right border is a cool thing?
...check out the corrosive sticker on the right truck trailer lol. Could have been worse. The blurring is only to fill up the entire screen since the pic/video was taken vertically; it just replaces the "black bars" that would normally be there.

Yep that's the price we pay for vertical video syndrome.

Would be cool if his quote was "Damned airbag gave me a shiner!"
