Summary

TBH 415

"My seatbelt was still on. There were tree branches on the windshield. That's when I realize that me and my giant truck and trailer were somehow upside down."

----------

Four years after first sharing his story, Nick the truck driver returns with one of the most baffling moments of his life.

A routine winter drive turns into something he still can't fully explain--loss of control, lost time, and a scene that defies logic when it's over.

But what makes this story even more unsettling isn't just what happened on the road… it was his wife calling at that precise moment, asking, "Are you OK?"

----------

Hey there, Trapper Jack here. Anytime Elizabeth and I are out on the roads and you see all those big 18 wheelers out there or 30 plus wheelers if they're a doubleback, how many times do I think a Nick?

0:11.1

Well, I thought, well, let's all think about Nick. Just think about Nick because this is when he was driving a truck. It was a doubleback, so 30 plus wheels, whatever those, I mean, they're just huge, long, a little scary, aren't they?
