Terrifying Video Shows A Truck Driver Have A Medical Incident, Nearly Crush A Car Before Driving Across The Median And Crashing Across The Other Side Of The Highway

A New Brunswick woman says she’s “happy to be alive” after she was sideswiped by a tractor-trailer and forced into the median along a highway Thursday morning.

“Today I am still in shock that I am OK,” Lisa Pitt told CTV News. “It is by the grace of God that no one was killed.”

Pitt, who lives in Sussex, was heading to work in Saint John when the collision happened between Bloomfield and Hampton around 7:40 a.m.

Stunning video from her dashcam shows the Sunbury truck veering into her lane and colliding with her vehicle, which ends up in the median.

The truck is then seen driving through the median and over onto the other side of the highway, where it crashes into a sign and rolls onto its side.

An official from Sunbury Transport told her the driver had suffered a medical emergency before the crash, which she had already suspected since he failed to slow down after sideswiping her vehicle.

The New Brunswick RCMP confirmed to CTV News that the collision was caused by a “medical incident” and no charges will be laid.

Police said the truck driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
