Truck narrowly avoids disaster while swerving across Beijing expressway lanes

On February 21, 2026, in Beijing, China, @DaYu shared a dashcam video capturing a close call on the Beijing–Kunming Expressway. In the video, traffic is moving at speed when a truck in the right lane suddenly veers left while changing lanes. The dashcam driver is already nearby but reacts quickly, braking and adjusting position. The truck then returns to its lane, allowing the dashcam vehicle to avoid a collision. According to the author, the situation began when a car ahead in the right lane braked suddenly near an exit, causing the truck behind it to brake and swerve into the adjacent lane. The author stated they were traveling at high speed and had to react instantly, slowing down significantly to regain control and avoid impact. They also noted that the vehicle’s driving system assisted in stabilizing the car after the maneuver.
