NJ Turnpike I-95 Crash due to Black Ice
I was blocked by two trucks on south bound I-95 at exit 9 in NJ (New Brunswick exit). I only wanted to take a picture while i was awaiting for them to clear up... And then I heard a noise from behind...I was barely missed.Once I turned off camera, I called in 911 and reported the accident. After that I came to the truck and the rest of the cars to verify they were alright. After arrival of NJ State Trooper and his dismissal confirming that he does not require my presence, I left the scene.

Every instinct in my head would have told me to drop that camera and drive the hell out of there!
Those instincts only kick in when you realize there is a clear and present danger. This gentleman had no clue, as his situational awareness was seriously lacking.

Oh wow. Did the truck driver swerve to avoid hitting you and other stopped cars? Pretty heroic of him, if so.
Yeah, I think thats exactly what he did.
Straight out of the final destination movies. Except good that no one got hurt.
