I was leaving Chattanooga bound for atlanta in the rain. 8 lanes separated by center Krails, wall to wall big trucks, even in the left lane. I was also in the left or #1 lane. Between the left yellow line and the krails was 10ft, a very narrow shoulder.
A lady in a camaro was in front of me. A big truck ahead blew a tire off the rim. Was bouncing, the lady locked tires (right front) and began to slide, rear going left. I didn’t have any where else to go. I moved over into the tiny shoulder, about a foot from the krails. Thought I was going to lose my mirror any minute.
By now the lady was sliding into the #2 lane. The big truck to my right moved into the space I vacated… And so on, each truck moved over as the lady slid across 4 lanes of big trucks. No one hit her!!! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
Traffic was at about 50mph, so it was almost in slow motion. I finally saw the lady go off the road backwards and stop on a grassy shoulder, unhurt. She didn’t hit anyone!!! And no one else crashed either!

I was very happy when I could move back into the #1 lane. My knuckles were white from hanging onto the wheel, keeping my truck off those krails.
I had a cb radio in my truck. I got thank you’s from truckers for 10min. They all saw what I did. I was still hearing myself talked about when I got to Atlanta. They were all talking about that blue silverado pickup and the crazy lady in the camaro.
