Is this what they mean when they use the term "jack-knifed big rig" on the morning traffic report?

Yes, my grandpa died in his truck when this happened. He got cut off, the truck started to jack-knife, and he had two choices: keep it on the road jack-knife everywhere and take out several cars full of people, or drive it off the road and lose his own life. Guess which choice he made. RIP

Don't see any hazard to speak of....  ???
To avoid head-ons on the frontage road.
