Any idea where in NM this occurred? I drive I-10 there a lot, and it looks like I-10. Although it's hard to say, because everything in NM looks like this.

Thank you! It was a long way from I-10.

Exactly. The car slowed and signaled and turned as if the oncoming truck was not there. Definitely a hypnotized driver, subconsciously driving by reflex. I believe most drivers recall driving a long haul and suddenly/shockingly not having a conscious memory of the past few miles. Same syndrome. Drivers will also drive subconsciously by reflex when they are nearing the end of a daily commute - heading into their driveway. It looks like the car in the vid was intending to pull into a driveway.

That happened to me once when I was quite young. I turned left into the path of a vehicle entering my driveway after work. Luckily it was a slow speed wreck, but it still destroyed both vehicles. I had no recollection of the oncoming vehicle.

An insurance agent told me that reflexive driving close to home is quite a common way people wreck. That wreck of mine totally changed my situational awareness while driving in that setting.

I know someone who sounds exactly like the driver in the OP videos. But she would have no reason to be in NM.

Maybe suicide by truck

Looks like he was making a left onto that road.
Embarrassing death.

That truck will stop, just let me get over here.
