Sam Champion's Horrific Accident and Driver's Fateful Move Is Caught on Tape

Before Sam Champion started sweating on the "hot seat" during the lightning round, he let "Good Morning America" viewers in on an experience that changed his life.
The "GMA" anchor shares an incredible personal tale.

Champion recounted a day when he was on the road with his driver Bryan Ritzul and looking down when Ritzul suddenly said, "Look out, Sam" or "Sam, look out."

When he looked up, what he saw terrified him: a tractor-trailer out of control and about to crash into them.

"We were in a terrible crash," Champion said, "a frightening car accident and remarkably it was caught on tape by a dashcam mounted on the front of the car."

But both their lives were saved, he said, thanks to Ritzul's quick thinking.
