Trucker saves fellow driver from getting smacked by tractor trailer but can’t save his rig

A truck driver saved a fellow trucker from being knocked over by a third driver’s misjudged turn, but couldn’t do the same for his truck. 

In this dash cam clip, a truck driver is parked between two other semi trucks when the one on the left starts to pull out. The driver on the right then steps out of his rig and is just standing around waiting when the trucker pulling out nearly knocks his trailer into him during an apparently misjudged turn. 

The middle driver is able to alert the standing driver about the near collision before he gets knocked to the ground, but is unable to help with the subsequent damage to his rig as the driver pulling out grinds against it. 

You can’t win them all. Watch the video for yourself, below.
