Minnesota Department of Transportation traffic cams caught the moment a semi-truck driver went into cardiac arrest Wednesday afternoon. The footage shows the semi-truck losing control and tipping over on the icy roadway. It looks like the vehicle is about to flip over and crash into the median, but the driver's quick thinking prevented this from happening. Despite the severity of the situation, the trucker managed to hold the vehicle upright and get out of the jack-knife without a scratch. This incident serves as a warning to other drivers to exercise caution when driving in dangerous weather conditions.

As the winter months bring snow and ice to Minnesota, the number of rollovers and accidents on the roads increases. The Department of Transportation is advising drivers to slow down and be careful when driving in these conditions. In addition, traffic cameras have been installed on several highways across the state to show motorists the traffic situation in real time. The cameras help warn drivers of possible dangers ahead and can also provide valuable footage in case of an accident.

In addition to traffic cameras, the government has taken other safety measures to combat the dangers of winter driving.

These include using salt and sand on the roads, removing snow, installing guardrails and other safety features. Despite these measures, accidents still happen, so it is extremely important for drivers to exercise caution and use common sense when driving in icy or snowy conditions.
