Wow, just wow.

i understand one lady was killed when she got out of her car and was struck, not as a direct result of the accident.  But it could have been much, much worse.

The driver had some solid reactions considering how fast it all went down.

Yeah, I saw that Friday.  Look at the car infront of the video camera car.  A chunk of concrete slams into it's windshield.

The camera car also broke the windshield, a crack appears on the right side as he's swerving.

Barrie is a different accident, 40 pile up killing a woman.

The driver with the video camera was great, but the real props goes to the driver in front of him... :o
