Ian Burgess had less than five seconds to avoid what could have been a horrific high-speed head-on collision on Highway 2 early Monday morning. The Calgary paramedic credits his emergency driver training for helping him react instantly and avoid slamming head on into another vehicle, its lights out, barrelling south in the northbound lanes of the highway just outside Red Deer near the bridge over the river about 4:15 a.m. Every second of the chilling near-miss was caught on his dash cam. Burgess, 36, was in the fast lane when he saw the vehicle approaching at highway speed. He moved to the other lane but the other vehicle kept coming, aimed right at him. In a split-second decision, he swerved his Chevrolet Colorado pickup into the ditch next to the highway and brought it to a stop - miraculously without suffering so much as a scratch. Burgess later heard that the vehicle had been stolen and had already hit a deer, which knocked out its headlights.
