YouTube video catches black ice close call on NJ Turnpike
A driver was trying to take a picture of some trucks blocking his way when he heard a noise behind him

NEW BRUNSWICK (KABC) -- An out-of-control big rig nearly slammed into a man who was recording video on the New Jersey Turnpike.

The man filming was able to keep his composure as the truck came inches away from smashing into him.

YouTube user MrLegolize posted the video. He says he was blocked by two trucks on southbound I-95 at exit 9 in New Jersey (the New Brunswick exit) and only wanted to take a picture while he was awaiting for them to clear up, and then heard noise from behind.

Icy roads caused more than 400 crashes across New Jersey Sunday.
