I work in an "ICU Intensive care unit" just because someone lived through this crash, doesn't mean they have any quality of life. We send lots of people to nursing homes that are basically unable to even talk. This is horrible and too bad. Hopefully they will make a full recovery because so many will not. Their are much worse things than death and to me being in a nursing home on a ventilator and brain dead is one of them. Quality of life is real and matters.
Well I put 40 accident and ticket free years in on the road. Seen my share of stupid-- One thing I learned on the road---never say I have seen it all, because every day you will see something different and more stupid. What is so astonishing is these people come on the road with their families and try and kill them. Drive sensibly, it isn't NASCAR. One look at the back of that trailer, then a look at the pick-up should be a clue to the stupidest 4wheeler-------what's at stake.
And may I add... if people think truck drivers are irresponsible behind the wheel .. I invite you to find a trucker willing to take you on the road with him for two weeks.. You sit in the passenger seat.. I bet you have a better opinion of truckers after the 2 weeks are up.
@dixiewife47 I took my girlfriend in my truck and in 1 hour she said her attitude toward's truck driver's had totaly changed after she saw the way idiots drive car's around them!
So after watching a close call vid between a bike and car, where apparently over 85% of those accidents are caused by the car, and then this one with the comment that says cars are reponsible for 90% of semi accidents, it seems that us regular car drivers seem to cause alot of accidents. Why don't we all just accept responsibility for our actions and drive with caution no matter what we drive. I've seen plently of stupid truck and motorcycles on the road, that cause problems themselves.
That said, there are pleny of good drivers that go far beyond what is expected. Once I ordered some heavy (300 lb) exercise equipment. The semi broke down a couple blocks from my home. I'm looking out my front window waitging and in a driving rain is this big burly truck driver with a huge carton on his hand truck, soaked to the skin still making the delivery. That's. service.
My point is we can't use a wide brush to paint any TYPE of driver as good or bad. What I'm saying is in the million+ miles I've driven I've seen way too many so-called "professional" semi drivers driving like raving lunantics and endagering everyone within a 1/4 mile of them weaving in and out of lanes, tail gating literally a foot or less off some car's bumber doing 80 MPH and other stupid kid stuff.
I agree that the worst drivers are the ones driving their cars. I drive a truck in local operation, and what I see on a daily basis would curl your hair! Yes, there are some careless and thoughtless commercial drivers out there, but for speeders, not giving signals for turns or lane changes, cutting one off, and of course the countless cell phone users and texters, the "4-wheeler" wins hands down.
I agree that most of the time its the cars fault. But one time some idiot truck driver crashed into my friend and I because he tried to go around us when we were stopped at a stop sign...Not sure what he was trying to do, but he totaled the car and almost crushed my friend's arm off. It ended up being recorded as no one's fault just because we were 16 and he was a 40-something -year-old truck driver. Bullshit
The all around worst drivers are SUV, then 4 wheelers, then pick-up trucks, then sports cars. Perhaps the most dangerous vehicle is ANYTHING rented as either a semi rig or trailer. Once one of drivers was on the Kennedy, doing about 40, the steering wheel on a Hertz rental literally came off in his hands. Driver plowed into five cars. Another time on Ohio turnpike, blew 3 tries on the trailer,stranded, driver hired a local hillbilly with a shotgun to guard cargo. LOL!
Cut the crap. I KNOW how bad SOME semi-drivers are having been on the road over a million miles in a car. They speed, they can't stay in their lane ofter crossing in the next lane, they tailgate and they driver recklessly for 12-15 or more hours straight often with bad brakes, bald tires, and overweight then "doctor" their log books while doing every trick in the book to dodge weight stations. I too worked for a compnay that had a fleet of semi drivers. I could write a book on the accidents.
@willieofroanoke a million miles in a car is different than a truck and so what if you worked for a company that owns a fleet have you driven tucks long haul and not ina car i mean big rigs if not you really have no clue i have never doctored my log books driven recklessly and yes theyre some bad drivers out there in the trucking industry
but 99 percent are safer than four wheelers i have had assholes try to run underneath my front bumper and then slam on there breaks so dont preach to people
I used to work for this company and we get msgs every day saying there were at least 3-4 accidents within the company the day before. They have a month and a half driving school and send them out on their own. Very dangerous company!
@sexyhostwomen Who removed this comment? Well, the engineering secret is to make steel with a tensile reflex. If a steel could triple its' impact tensile strength like muscle tissue, this would be cool. However, there has to be a need to do somethng. Safety is going to cost the consumer big bucks.
It is far safer to sit in front of a 200 in. HD plasma tv than drive. Ha, ha, ...
Alcohol is rarely a factor in any crash. Most vehicles either use gas or diesel.
It is hard to believe that the steel in a semis' trailer is strong enough to damage a pickup. Why don't the gov't crash tests involve crashing into the back of a semis' trailer? Bigger airbags in vehicle would prevent most damage. Well, an airbag the size of a football field.
Again.......Appears to me the driver of the tractor-trailer was not at fault, BUT thanks to the 'system' and insurance companies...that Poor driver had added stress from this.
Brake lights on the trailer were inoperable,..Right Mr.Lawyer?
Dont mean to sound heartless......just the facts that the Semi-truck takes the Brunt of the storm..EVERY TIME.
people dont understand that semi trucks could be carrying up to 90,000 pounds of load and some cars just lane shift and slam on there brakes with no regard
Years ago I was in a truck that was parked and got rear ended by a car full of drunk teenagers going 65mph. Driver had few injuries, but the 2 girls in the front seat went through the windshield and completely crushed their faces. They all lived, but the girls are blind, one girl's jaw was ripped off and had to be rebuilt. Huge price for a few beers.
@Marty933 u are 100% rite. my cuz just got into a car crash and blow a 1.6 and wanted me to feel sorry for him. dont get me wrong glad no one got killed but they did get hurt they rolled a 02 dodge 1500 5 to 6 time is what the cops said and was doing about 95 mph my cuz walk away from this and his gf is in icu rite now both very lucky but this should tell ppl not to ride with anyone that drinking and do the rite thing call the cops its not rating out when u could be saving someone life
The driver of the Chevy would of been better off hitting the Mansfield bar (aptly named after the vehicle Jane Mansfield was riding in went under the rear of a semi trailer and decapitated her; these were made mandatory to prevent it from occurring again) straight on instead of swerving to the right. They are very lucky to be alive.
The person in the pick-up survived but if I was that person I don't think I would have wanted to survive it. I don't think I would be prepared to live with the consequences of this accident. The person had to have suffered serious head injuries. They'll never be the same again.
I live near 75. Cars pass me all day doing 80-90+ The truck that passed you is a moron i agree... however i dont drive a truck never have but it has to be a rough job dealing with 4 wheelers driving stupid around them. there is a big difference between drivers and operators in big rigs. we wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for the drivers of trucks being away from family.. keep trucking guys
My sister was a passenger in a car in 1966 when her friend fell asleep at the wheel and hit a semi from behind. Her best friend was killed and she and the other 3 occupants were seriously injured . This was before trucks had the bar on the back. The car she was riding in went straight under the semi. Those bars can save lives.
To the guy who thinks truckers should be fault.. Id say at least 90% of accidents on the road with semi trucks ARE THE CARS FAULT. I used to drive a big rig and the horrible way people drive in their suvs and carsmakes me wonder why more ppl arent killed.
@KelliferandLanifer Not all but the vast majority of truckers are good drivers. I've seen a few truckers do some stupid and reckless things on the road but as a whole I truly respect and trust them as drivers. For the most part they do their job and they do it well even after hours behind the wheel.
@dixiewife47 AMEN TO THAT i work in a salvage yard for wrecked semis and alot of the trucks that we learn the storys on it turns out the fault was that of anotherdriver not th trucker i fully agree
@dixiewife47 No kidding! Especially the morons who cut in front of you with no warning then slam on their brakes to keep from hitting the car infront of them....
Its never the truckers fault is it?! They drive way to fast. I was on the way to Florida once on I-75 doing around 75 maybe 80 mph and a big rig past me like a was standing still. NOW WTF!! is that safe?
@TOPGLOCK26 That's because the speed limit on I-75 is 70. 75 to 80 is where you SHOULD be running anyway. If you were passed like you were "standing still", you are one of those rolling roadblock assholes that I push out of my way when im hauling ass on that interstate in my rig. Do everyone a favor and stay the fuck in the far right lane while im doing my job!!!
@TheJohnnysplits maybe you should be doing the speed limit instead of acting like a bulldozer. I'd love to get you on camera rear ending me, then you would never work again you lousy fuck. I've seen your kind bareling down on you for doing 76 in a 70...you guys get right on your bumper trying to act all big and tough, well fucktard...this aint 3rd grade anymore. and your proving contest is fucked up
@TheJohnnysplits and by the way, you certainly havent been driving long. if you are one of the newer drivers that thinks that 10 over saves you time....you're dumb as bricks. speed to 5 over is the way to go. our job is on the line here. being stupid and "pushing people" out of the way is a way to get your boss down your neck, tickets...or worse...a driver that break checks you and calls you in....it just isnt worth it.
@TOPGLOCK26 about as safe as the dipchit that thinks nothing of dropping infront of a semi going highway speed. That car loses it and the semi can not stop! I am sick of reading about ppl whinning "how bad" semi drivers are. Yeah there are a few pricks behind the wheel of semi's but by far there are more behind the wheel of 4-wheelers. Stay off your phone, finish getting ready before you leave the house, dont try & eat when driving and deal with the crappy radio station. A Truckers Wife/Widow
@toyota4life94 the number one reason I cut off cock suckers like you. Is when I have my blinkers on to change lane. One car comes around and I see pieces of shit like you speed up knowing I need to get over. Hell yes I'm cutting you off. This accident the driver in the pick up dosed off at the wheel or didn't see the brake check in front of him because he hit the truck in the right hand lane. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. Because right now you sound real dumb.
I had to look a few times when they are winching the pick up on to the wrecker look what I think is a crew cab. In the rear door drivers side window looks like theres a kid sitting there . Look close I think its the head rest of the front seat push back to that spot.
I have alot of respect for truckers. They put long hours in and keep this country going. I'm courteous to them on the road but every now and then theres the guy in the fast lane on the interstate holding up traffic trying to pass, some trucker riding my ass when I'm doing the speed limit or over, or flying by me on an icey road in the winter kicking up slush or going so fast by be that it almost blows my car off the road. I wish some ppl would just use their heads b4 someone gets hurt or killed.
I love when I'm minding my own business in the slow lane doing +5 or +10 mph over the speed limit, and a big rig comes rolling up on my ass to within 10 feet it seems and stays there for a 1/2 mile until he can pass in the middle lane. Stay off my ass you idiots.
@macdisciple On a freeway posted @ 60mph but the traffic is doing 70-80 the person go 65 is going to force others to change lanes and that is what causes accident. Your not in your own world on the freeway and if a trucker has to pass you because your to slow then your the problem not the trucker. I drive truck and hate when I come up on mousy people that have a death grip on the wheel the hole time they drive. Reminds me of an old lady.
@1stBorracho ... Notice I said up to +10 over the speed limit i the slow lane, dip wad - any more that and troopers start looking to give out tickets. Do not put my life in danger. If I have to stop suddenly, I could be crushed. If that's your attitude, the next time I see an overturned rig smashed to hell, I'm going to say a little prayer that it's yours, you ignorant imbecile.
@macdisciple The facts are facts, if you force a truck to change lanes YOUR the problem. It doesn't matter if he is speeding or not, if he is going with the flow of traffic that is what matters. I try my self to only go as high as 62mph when I am in a hurry but speed is not what causes most truck crashes it's falling asleep, not paying attention or weather/road conditions. So stop crying about poor you almost getting ran over by the big truck that seems to scare you so much. You old lady.
@1stBorracho Drivers like you give truckers a bad name. By the way, I'm not an old lady. I have had some training in both Formula I and stock car racing. I have cruised a few highways over 100 mph in my younger days. When my family is in my vehicle on the highway at 10 mph over the speed limit in the slow lane, you have no business riding up on my rear end and endangering our lives. If you think otherwise, I hope it will be you that loses your life and not my child.
You clowns saying how bad trucks are should ride in one for a week and see what you put us all through! Even in my car I feel safer around trucks than morons in 4 wheelers!
The comment about drivers not paying attention kill me,here's a few I've seen people doing looking down into their car...
Reading a book @ 65mph on an Interstate,Mr Exec in his fanny car doing paper work in the hammer lane of the NJ turnpike! Watching a TV on the pass. seat, shaving in the rear view mirror,putting make-up on
The point of the matter is that the roadways are dangerous. If you don't pay attention you are setting yourself up for trouble. No doubt there are some asshole truck drivers, no doubt there are plenty of asshole four wheelers.Keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors, expect the unexpected, leave plenty of space between you and others, drive at a speed for the road conditions (weather, road surface, traffic etc) The last place to be is within 10 car lengths in front of a rig.
There really needs to be foam padding on these trucks. These Semi's are like death missiles on a highway. Fuck that especially when i'm driving my car next to a Semi driver who is not paying attention. Also the ones that tailgate cars...wtf.
@greenlimer You sound like a clown. Foam padding? If it's so dangerous to be around a trucker than get off the interstates drive the back roads. As far as a trucker not paying attention, you need to know that semi's have huge blind spots and you can easily dissapear in one, so while your thinking that they are not paying attention it could be because they can't see you. You never remember all the great truckers it's just the bad ones. hmm really is it that bad?
@GATIME4253 This still doesn't change my mind that they are dangerous to have on the road. Foam padding was a joke btw. Please don't take everything you read on the internet literally or you would begin to sound like a clown.
@greenlimer truckers are the ones who need foam padding? get the fuck off your phone and quit texting while you drive maybe you shouldnt cut them off and slow down it takes a lot to stop a 40 ton truck , and maybe not every single driver is angel but they are no differnet from everyone else
@WeaponMaster1346667 Ah, yes, but if you look closer at the thingammabober, you'll notice that a piece of it's gazootenbagel is slightly bamboozled towards the front. The blinky things are still working and the hooten-nanny barely moved! Duh!
@TheRedlegoguy The bumpers on these trailers are made from extremely thick steel. They are designed to prevent small cars and trucks from going underneath the rear of the trailer in situations like this.
yet another example of why people need to pay attention and be courteous of the trucker in front of or near them on a typical day a semi probably gets tailgated or cut off 25 times or more any of which could end up like this PAY ATTENTION!!!
man and all that happened was a bent stopper, and it wasnt a fatal,accident occured 20 miles south of my house, stuck in the traffic on my way to get hay from odell il
7089540230.........didn't you say in your posting, above that " Both occupants survived this horrific accident, that is a miracle after seeing the pickup truck " ???
It may of been Fatal...As i have been seeing Flowers at that site lately...not sure if it is from this accident,i am trying to find out..at the time of the accident,the police stated it was NOT fatal
just because they wiegh so much doesnt inhearantly make them dangerous. plus withought them you wouldnt have fuel food or anything else.. they are the backbone of not just our country but the world.
Probably not for this accident though. What could the semi driver have possibly done to prevent it? First of all, it's in his blind spot. Second, he can't quickly swerve into another lane because of his size and b/c of traffic. Third of all, he can't accelerate out of the way. It was the pickup driver's responsibility to see the semi slowing down and brake. People usually blame the semi driver because they feel sorry for the people in the smaller vehicles, even though it was their fault.
the way the federal government and dot look at it along with insurance companies if your a 'professinal' your at fault for just being there and if you think thats screwy check out the new csa2010 guidelines for 'professinal drivers ' pardon the spelling
@adamcain3 well i was involved in a accident vehicle and paperwork were up to snuff no tickets issued but was still tagged with a preventable as long as your a profesional driver you were there is a preventable is what i was told excuse the spelling
@cndilkr Sounds like the company got one over on you just because you were there does not make it preventable in a situation when you get rearended theres not much you can do whoever told you every accident is preventable is full of it ive been rearended twice and both were ruled non preventable soory that the company did that to you
70 mph into a semi... and all the semi gets is a bent bumper. EVEN THE LIGHTS ARENT BROKEN. I now know If im gonna drive a car, Im gonna stick a semi bumper on it.
to the ones that say "shouda bee drivn a ford or a dodge", r u really serious? do u think it would really make a difference. NO! geeeez...u sound like a bunch of hill billy's
it was a joke, so your the idiot that didn't notice that, and before you make another comment I would to say I saved a guy from a rollover, fell off an exit ramp in 23 degree weather and I was the only one who stopped and got out. I was not the idiot there, and you would probably have been the one to keep on driving.
When your right.. your right. i wouldn't have stopped.. you know why? because most people who get into accidents on expressways are going to fast.. on their cell phones, doing their makeup. so no your right i would have drove right on. sorry my hearts not made of solid gold like yours.
i know this a horrible wreck but did you pu your phone number for your youtube account name

This was before trucks had the bar on the back. The car she was riding in went straight under the semi. Those bars can save lives.

To the guy who thinks truckers should be fault.. Id say at least 90% of accidents on the road with semi trucks ARE THE CARS FAULT. I used to drive a big rig and the horrible way people drive in their suvs and carsmakes me wonder why more ppl arent killed.

@KelliferandLanifer Not all but the vast majority of truckers are good drivers. I've seen a few truckers do some stupid and reckless things on the road but as a whole I truly respect and trust them as drivers. For the most part they do their job and they do it well even after hours behind the wheel.

@TOPGLOCK26 What part of the pickup truck running into the BACK of the semi-trailer do you not understand?
cmrndnn1 1 year ago
@TOPGLOCK26 That's because the speed limit on I-75 is 70. 75 to 80 is where you SHOULD be running anyway. If you were passed like you were "standing still", you are one of those rolling roadblock assholes that I push out of my way when im hauling ass on that interstate in my rig. Do everyone a favor and stay the fuck in the far right lane while im doing my job!!!

@TheJohnnysplits and by the way, you certainly havent been driving long. if you are one of the newer drivers that thinks that 10 over saves you time....you're dumb as bricks. speed to 5 over is the way to go. our job is on the line here. being stupid and "pushing people" out of the way is a way to get your boss down your neck, tickets...or worse...a driver that break checks you and calls you in....it just isnt worth it.

@TOPGLOCK26 about as safe as the dipchit that thinks nothing of dropping infront of a semi going highway speed. That car loses it and the semi can not stop! I am sick of reading about ppl whinning "how bad" semi drivers are. Yeah there are a few pricks behind the wheel of semi's but by far there are more behind the wheel of 4-wheelers.

This accident the driver in the pick up dosed off at the wheel or didn't see the brake check in front of him because he hit the truck in the right hand lane. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.

I have alot of respect for truckers. They put long hours in and keep this country going.

I wish some ppl would just use their heads b4 someone gets hurt or killed.

macdisciple 1 year ago
@macdisciple On a freeway posted @ 60mph but the traffic is doing 70-80 the person go 65 is going to force others to change lanes and that is what causes accident. Your not in your own world on the freeway and if a trucker has to pass you because your to slow then your the problem not the trucker. I drive truck and hate when I come up on mousy people that have a death grip on the wheel the hole time they drive. Reminds me of an old lady.

If that's your attitude, the next time I see an overturned rig smashed to hell, I'm going to say a little prayer that it's yours, you ignorant imbecile.
macdisciple 1 year ago
@macdisciple The facts are facts, if you force a truck to change lanes YOUR the problem. It doesn't matter if he is speeding or not, if he is going with the flow of traffic that is what matters. I try my self to only go as high as 62mph when I am in a hurry but speed is not what causes most truck crashes it's falling asleep, not paying attention or weather/road conditions. So stop crying about poor you almost getting ran over by the big truck that seems to scare you so much. You old lady.
1stBorracho 1 year ago
@1stBorracho Drivers like you give truckers a bad name. By the way, I'm not an old lady. I have had some training in both Formula I and stock car racing. I have cruised a few highways over 100 mph in my younger days. When my family is in my vehicle on the highway at 10 mph over the speed limit in the slow lane, you have no business riding up on my rear end and endangering our lives. If you think otherwise, I hope it will be you that loses your life and not my child.

davidallenroth 1 year ago
The point of the matter is that the roadways are dangerous. If you don't pay attention you are setting yourself up for trouble. No doubt there are some asshole truck drivers, no doubt there are plenty of asshole four wheelers.Keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors, expect the unexpected, leave plenty of space between you and others, drive at a speed for the road conditions (weather, road surface, traffic etc) The last place to be is within 10 car lengths in front of a rig.

There really needs to be foam padding on these trucks. These Semi's are like death missiles on a highway. Fuck that especially when i'm driving my car next to a Semi driver who is not paying attention. Also the ones that tailgate cars...wtf.
greenlimer 1 year ago
@greenlimer You sound like a clown. Foam padding? If it's so dangerous to be around a trucker than get off the interstates drive the back roads. As far as a trucker not paying attention, you need to know that semi's have huge blind spots and you can easily dissapear in one, so while your thinking that they are not paying attention it could be because they can't see you. You never remember all the great truckers it's just the bad ones. hmm really is it that bad?

@jetengine7 but the big truck driver still gets a preventable on their record just for being there
cndilkr 2 years ago
Probably not for this accident though. What could the semi driver have possibly done to prevent it? First of all, it's in his blind spot. Second, he can't quickly swerve into another lane because of his size and b/c of traffic. Third of all, he can't accelerate out of the way. It was the pickup driver's responsibility to see the semi slowing down and brake. People usually blame the semi driver because they feel sorry for the people in the smaller vehicles, even though it was their fault.
jetengine7 2 years ago
the way the federal government and dot look at it along with insurance companies if your a 'professinal' your at fault for just being there and if you think thats screwy check out the new csa2010 guidelines for 'professinal drivers ' pardon the spelling
