Dashcam: semi jackknifes across an Omaha interstate as Hurricane Polo's rains slam Nebraska

Dashcam footage shows a white Volvo sliding sideways and spinning across an Omaha interstate, missing a car by inches during Hurricane Polo's rains.

Summarized from CDLLife.

A semi truck jackknifing on a rain-soaked interstate at night

A white Volvo tractor-trailer jackknifed across an Omaha interstate during heavy rains tied to Hurricane Polo, spinning directly in front of a car in a near-miss caught entirely on dashcam.

In the clip, a car is traveling on an interstate in Omaha, Nebraska, when a white Volvo swings sideways into view from the driver's side, rotates into a jackknife just ahead of the car's hood, then skids over to the shoulder and keeps sliding until it disappears from view.

The condition of the truck driver is not clear. The footage is a reminder of how quickly hydroplaning turns serious at highway speed, especially on heavily traveled corridors like I-80.
