The video shows a silver Nissan Rogue swerving across traffic from the far left, crossing two lanes, and disappearing into a snowbank to the right of the camera.
The quickly narrowing gap between our van and the Nissan Rogue in these screen captures taken milliseconds apart yesterday emphasizes how fortunate we were to escape injury in our near miss travelling full speed on the Crowchild Trail. pic.twitter.com/QP1jaUu3Aq

Vanderburg’s startled wife can be heard in the video when the other vehicle makes its sudden appearance, and though it looks to be a close call, Vanderburg stated in his tweets that the vehicles, fortunately, did not collide.
Here’s a look at the near-miss, and a reminder to put some winter tires on your vehicle now that we’ve been seeing consistent snow out here in YYC — and to always drive cautiously, no matter the road conditions!
My wife never swears in real life, but her near miss at 80 km/hr on the Crowchild Trail near 17th Ave. SW yesterday was surreal. @Crackmacs #feelingblessed pic.twitter.com/E5RZzxhc5U
