[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A large dump truck suddenly crossed the center line and charged forward, creating a terrifying situation. The driver of a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction narrowly avoided danger by quickly changing lanes.

On the 15th, an online community called Bobae Dream posted a message titled "Almost died today because of a dump truck... Something like this happened to me too," along with a dashcam video. The video clearly showed a large dump truck crossing the center line on a two-lane road, nearly hitting an oncoming vehicle.

The author, Mr. A, said, "I saw the truck rattling from afar, but I never expected it to cross the center line and come toward me," adding, "There was an extra lane on the side, so I turned the steering wheel, and it was a huge relief."

He continued, "Looking closely, the dump truck tried to forcefully move sideways to overtake a white truck behind it, stepped on a nearby sidewalk block, wobbled, crossed the center line, and charged at me," explaining, "The police fortunately said there was no accident, but if things had gone wrong, the three of us would have died instantly." He also added that his fianc?e, who is getting married next month, was in the car at the time.

He expressed his feelings, saying, "My legs are shaking so much, and I’m so tense that my arms feel like they’re going to fall off," and "There’s no way to get an apology, and I’m angry."

Mr. A added, "The police contacted me, and the truck driver was also very shocked and called me to apologize," and "Due to aftereffects, I have filed an insurance claim as a non-contact accident."

Netizens who saw this commented, "The driver really dodged well," and "It would have been a disaster if he hadn’t turned the steering wheel," expressing concern for the driver and passengers. At the same time, some criticized the truck driver, saying, "How can someone drive like that?" and "People like that shouldn’t be allowed to drive."
