I went around him on the grass as he continued to back toward the highway. My wife gasped as I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a tractor trailer barreling toward him. The truck went around him to the right in a huge cloud of dust, but the truck driver had to stop because of the panic. ( I guess to catch his breath)

All the while, the car continued to back up toward the interstate, with the obvious intention of backing into the high speed west bound traffic. I was too far down the ramp to see the end of the story, but I'm confident that it didn't end well.

OMG, how scary. How did he/she miss (not see) the near miss with the tractor trailer? The driver must have been on alcohol or drugs.
