Cuban truck driver Ihosvanny Rodríguez recently took to TikTok to share a harrowing video of a near-miss incident while driving his freight truck on a U.S. highway.
The footage, captured by the dashcam in his vehicle, reveals a tense moment when another truck suddenly veered into his path as he attempted to overtake, creating a highly dangerous scenario that almost led to a collision.
“Keep an eye on the road, folks, the year-end rush has begun. Almost got the same move pulled on me as on the turnpike,” Rodríguez noted in his video, referencing a prior incident he apparently experienced on the heavily trafficked Turnpike toll road.
Since its release 20 hours ago, the clip has gained viral traction among truckers and the Cuban community in the U.S., who are well aware of the daily road hazards, particularly during the busy year-end delivery season.
Filmed on November 25, 2025, the video shows Rodríguez driving at over 65 miles per hour when a white trailer executes the dangerous maneuver that almost causes a crash. Despite the scare, Rodríguez, who was hauling cars in his car hauler truck, managed to maintain control.
The post has garnered hundreds of supportive reactions and comments. Many users advise caution on the roads and highlight the importance of onboard cameras for documenting incidents that can save lives or serve as evidence in potential traffic disputes.
