  1. I’m a cdl holder and I witness many times semi’s speeding in construction zones. What we need is drone cops looking for this with radar and using chase cars to give citations. It is unacceptable and illegal to speed in construction zones. CSA violation points double in construction zones for cdl holders

  2. Water increasing moron factor one hundred percent. Far left lane not blocked…. shut off the entire road anyway because a trooper would have to direct traffic
    … PS I have done that! and I are the best truck driver on the planet Earth.

  3. Showing down the video it appears to me as if the driver was going off the road like he was distracted and soon as he realized it he turned back while hitting the brakes which put him in a jack knife position.

  4. Remember WB I-94 at the tunnel a few years ago? With a scrap metal semi? I was a truck driver, single unit flat bed, every time I crossed a accident, I felt sick, traffic always slowed for a little while, then idiot mines always took over again, but not me…

  5. Smooth, temporary road service+wet conditions + poor traction of passenger side trailer tires = Should have replaced all 8 at the same time and saved the company a whole bunch of money in the near future.
    Hope the driver's ok…

  6. Love to know what charges came against the driver and/or company. What was the conclusion of the investigation?
    Was speed or distraction proved to be involved? Hopefully it wasn't another needless ticket for an actual accident (loosing control of the vehicle) can't always blame someone for hydroplaning and not being able to recover, especially a big rig…

  7. For people watching this on mobile it's a terrible video. The pictures change far too quickly. You can't easily pause with a mouse click. If it's on pause the controls are infront of the info. Can't read. Give people some time to see what they see.

  8. Wow amazing crash with the trailer skating on top of the barrier. In the photos at 1:08 it looks like is a smaller car totally wrapped up in the collision. At the base of the column appears to be part of a radiator and cooling hoses. Was it inside the trailer? Parked on the shoulder? That must have been a distressing scene for first responders.

  9. I see the problem… according to this video, the accident supposedly happened on I-94 EB… When the driver realized someone had moved Fargo to 160 miles EAST of St Cloud, he wrecked trying to turn his GPS inside out…

  10. Its hard to tell..Did the trailer hydroplane and then the load shifted? Almost looks like the driver was distracted as well… LOTS goin on in this 1!!! GREAT job with the content on this channel!!!
