“It was a few hours, but I'm still very close to what it could have been,” Jeung said.
In the footage, there are only moments when a car or other debris from the above tree falls onto the highway, and he or the other drivers react.
“It all happened in slow motion. I saw the car fall and the wood section fall. It was about assessing the situation and understanding the most painless way to get through it. That was no way around that,” he said.
