What to do if I was driving on the road when truck came from my right side and went straight in to my car?
I was lucky; I saw him and I reacted fast. I swung over the line in the opposite direction but luckily there was no cars at that moment. I was then able to go back to my line..There was a car behind me driving and he saw everything. I pulled over and the truck stopped too; he apologized and said that he didn’t see me. The other car stopped too and Said that he saw everything and would be my witness. I had a 6 month old baby with me. The police came and they took my info, the truck driver info and the witness’s info. I would like to know what is going to happened now, will police call me? This guy almost killed me and my son.

It's unlikely that the police will call you; with no injuries to anyone and no property damage, the police will almost certainly not spend time or resources on this--they can't even thoroughly investigate all crimes or accidents with injuries, let alone near misses. If they do, against the odds, call you, it would most likely be simply as a witness in some proceeding against the truck driver.
