Skidding car crash caught on semi truck's dash camera

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - It seems there is a crash somewhere on Interstate 75 almost every day.  We hear about them and hope we're never involved in one.

Video we just obtained from a trucker shows just how scary a crash can be to drivers.

The semi truck had a dash cam on board as the driver made his way on I-75 northbound at the Edwin C. Moses Boulevard exit in Dayton Friday afternoon.

You can see the blue car lose control off to the truck's right.  The car spins around and slams right into the front end of the semi.

The driver says it'll be a long time before he forgets what he saw.

"This is my first wreck.  I've had a couple scrapes here and there but never something like this, first one ever," said Garland Wilson, truck driver.

Amazingly enough, the woman in the blue car suffered only minor injuries.  She was treated at Miami Valley Hospital.

The official cause of the crash is still being investigated.  The highway has since re-opened to traffic.
