How many times have any of us sort of "come to" and realized we weren't paying attention to the road for the last minute? Fiddling with the A/C controls or the radio, or dropped your sunglasses and were reaching down to pick them up… or lord knows the distractions on our smartphones. We're so used to glancing up every now and then and traffic is moving smoothly. Until something like this….
At least with the door open, it was oddly shaped and more noticeable.
🤣😂🤣
Ha ha ha ha
Low key that semi had all day to avoid that truck
Why does it take so long for a highway patrol car to arrive and secure the site after the truck broke down?
5:55: What were all those white things that flew out of the pickup bed?
Jesus christ the amount of people who cant drive in a short clip is wild
Praise Jesus prayers in Jesus name amen
Anyone else notice how the red truck appeared to be rocking/bouncing prior to being hit?
Look at 5:25!!! Is that a fucking COP just driving by?? 😡😡😡😡
That dude closing the door triggered the events that followed
Imaginad que el coche rojo está parado en un atasco. Dentro hay una familia. Y llega el camionero en su bestia dormido o hablando por el móvil o vaya usted a saber y…
… is it me or didn't the driver of that black truck pay attention at all?
That’ll probably buff right out
I really hope charges are brought against the semi truck driver. This was negligent driving. Also he is a professional driver. Paid to be attentive and safe. The disabled truck is clearly visible for at least an eighth of a mile before impact. Plenty of time to avoid the accident. If I'm on the jury I would vote for criminal negligence
Trucker reading his newspaper?
That container missed the lady by a couple feet. And the lady in black was running pretty good, I bet she hadn’t moved that fast in years.
We always make fun of Michael Bay Movies and all those instant explosions/fires.
Amazing how no one stops to help UNTIL the explosion
Damn, i dont think ive ever seen traffic move that smoothly around an obstacle in the road (before the semi comes of course)
Can’t believe people kept taking that exit
Водила ч о слепой?? Как можно было не заметить машину? 🤦🏻 я в шоке просто.
Trucker didnt care about anyone else but himself. Didnt even check to see if anyone had been in the car. Didnt even check with the people standing by the shoulder for details or at least admit the fault. Took him a long time to get out of the truck, only to inspect his own truck. Guys a douche
Amazing how many cars passed before ONE person did.
This Accident was completely Avoidable in my Opinion….
If your POS starts having trouble, why not drift over to the side of the road?
There no sound on this video
The truck driver clearly wasn’t paying attention
Can the driver who took it upon himself to STOP on the median run across a BUSY LANE of sourcing cars on a Highway , to SHUT the door off the pickup truck be charged with ANY traffic violations for doing that he did?
IMO the truck would have probably made it a little longer has he NOT SHUT THE DOOR! JUST CURIOUS.
way firebrigade not come?
I love these idiots that just drive right past the cops and the burning truck and just take the exit anyways. People with zero brains out there driving several thousand pound lethal weapons.
My first thought was "who is leaving the door open"…then I understood "Okay thats smart, because when your brain see a car with door open on highway it will understand something is off faster than if it wasnt"…Okay Ill keep that one for future.
10:53 the police car arrives and parks the car in the right lane . ahhh police officer ….- i don't think it's a good idea if we take into account what just happened here not long time ago. I would highly recommend you move your car to a safer zone .
one doesn't have to have much skill or an understanding of pretty much anything to drive truck, clearly visible here.
Hello sir, we got your car off the road! Nobody is injured!
So about that cop…was he not fired for doing absolutely nothing?
I really don't understand how so many people drive up behind a stopped car and act dumb. Half these drivers should lose their PRIVILAGE to drive.
Why did that dude close the door? It didn't look like it was in the other lane. Not saying he was at all responsible for the crash but the lane was already blocked, closing a door that's taking up maybe 3 feet of the lane doesn't change the situation and he ran across 2 lanes for it. Please tell me what I'm missing. Wish there were narration on this one.
I really think the guy in the silver minivan who closed the door actually caused this! if the door was left open chances are much better that truck would have recognized it long ahead and slowed down… What happens is people see but don't realize vehicle is actually stopped until last second, that's why you see after he closed the door so many cares started to swerved at the last second.
They're going to have to resurface the road
Raj on his phone as.usual.
This makes the insurance claim much easier to file.
