Semi’s u-turn on Ohio highway forces pickup driver’s quick move

On US 23 southbound near Circleville, Ohio, a dash cam caught video of a semi truck making a u-turn across the highway, blocking the lanes on September 10, 2025.

What happened: The semi truck stopped in the crossover, waiting for a safe time to merge onto the northbound side. A pickup truck behind the semi had to slam on the brakes and cut into the crossover to avoid hitting the trailer.

The pickup driver backed up to return to the highway, then waited for the semi to finish the u-turn.
As the semi found an opening and drove away, the pickup driver flipped off the trucker before getting back on the road.

Unlike a recent fatal wreck in Florida with a similar start, this situation ended without any crashes or injuries reported.
