  • Notice that the van's harzard ligts are on. The third brake light should be part of the harzard light. Anyway, it's hard to say, there might be a curve and people are probably following too close.

  • i dont understand how this is possible. yes it was dark. but seriously. ive been on the 405 a hundred times at night and i can see WAY ahead a stopped car or a stalled car. its not that fucking hard to see. especially a hundred feet away.

  • well at least I can stay that crushed metal is better than a lost life 

  • but amazingly they all dodge the cones...

  • do they not have hazard warning lights in the states?

  • WOW SERIOUSLY WAS EVERYBODY FUCKING TEXTING?! LIKE YOU COULDN'T SEE THAT SHIT AHEAD OF YOU. californians are so fucking dense.

  • should of turn off the light on the otherside

  • What the fuck!?!? I just my license and apparently the "look ahead about 5 seconds rule doesnt apply cuz americans are sooooo fuckin' smart

  • Congrats to auto manufacturers and government regulations for making cars safer.

  • I was just sitting, bored, rubbing my eye while watching this video... then 0:12 happened and I went "WTF!!"

  • @MuffinMcFluffin lol thumb up

  • i wouldnt wanna be standing on that highway...

  • brembo would help. but then again at those speeds i really would't matter

  • The reporter waving his lights at cars probably distracted drivers and caused a more exciting story. 

  • Mexicans were probably in the van and just abandoned it.

    Spics need to be exterminated.

  • These dumb ass reporters caused this pileup!!

  • do American's only see as far as the end of their bonnet? FFS! look ahead at what you're approaching, its called forward planning and observation, you see obstacles ahead or traffic backing up so slow the fuck down!

  • That first crash, the guy didnt even brake....

  • was this real? i'm not trying to be a douche, but that was kind of funny... that shows how stupid Americans are, lol

  • WHO THE HELL WOULD BE STANDING THERE WITH THE CAMERA!! :O

  • why does hollywood have to add in all the cheesy fake sound effects. are people do understimulated that they need to jazz it up with fake brakes and impact sounds?

  • @nerfmyaccount Lol, I thought I was the only one who thought it was annoying.  ERRRRRRKKKSSSS!

  • most people are stupid, and whats with the lack of ABS?

  • most people are stupid

  • You want to see a pileup? come up to michigan in the winter, there was one a couple years ago with 96 vehicles

  • Lol this shit was to funny. Haha and guess what? It was 2 white blondes in the blue car. This just proved how ignorant they are at drivin

  • I DONT KNOW WHY AMERICAN ALL TAILGATES, AND IGNORE THE SPEED LIMIT, AS WELL AS FORGETTING THE 2 SEC RULE/4 SEC RULE DELIBERATELY.

    - i just got a license in this country..

  • stupids

  • wait, what the crap is up with all the random cones? they would be confusing as heck to see on the expressway.

  • LOL! That guy two comments under me replied to himself

  • Dammmmmmmmm!!!!!

  • poor mustang :(

  • Damn.

  • lucky no one was on the back of the van

  • damn nature, you scary!

  • stupid ass drivers shit! the blue car that hit the van never even hit the brakes! thats what you get for not looking were your going!!!!!

  • All because of a POS van.

  • anyone else notice NO warning flasher lights were on. Just their brake lights?

  • welcome to California..Home of shitty drivers

  • i blame that guy who stalled on the carpool lane. I mean WTF thats stoooopid.

  • didn't you listen to what he said?  HELLO. Traffic cones on one side and the construction light on the other....plus a disabled vehicle.......an accident was inevitable. Did anyone file a lawsuit againt the DMV for their neglegence ?

  • My theory that Californians are the dumbest fucks in the world has been confirmed.

  • Ass in the blue mustang prolly was some dumb mexican who cant read or speak english

  • @armyguyjonny youre an idiot

    

  • @armyguyjonny u r an ass

    

  • @cocoadog1998...clearly the van had its flashers on...anyone who can proficiently read, write, or understand english knows what they mean...this idiot just rammed into the rear of the van without so much as tapping the brakes!! and look at the chaos that ensued! This is proof why immigrants NEED to not only know but fully understand ENGLISH!!!! 

  • @armyguyjonny don't be like that man! do you really think the hazard lights are part of the ENGLISH language? c'mom maybe the dude was recieving a BJ hahahaha

  • @grevatious @grevatious: hahaha that was funny however again, If you cant speak, read or write ENGLISH proficiently, you have no busiiness being behind the wheel of a motor vehicle...as for the flashers being in the english language...YES! its is an actual word contained in the english language and written in the drivers manual with what they actually mean.

  • @armyguyjonny all these people hating on you but i agree with ya x_x

  • Whoever was driving that Mustang is a moron.

  • No sense of hazard perception what so ever.

  • Pro just like burnount 3 on my ps2 WIN! Btw I do feel 4 people that get killed or seriously injured in a crash.

  • no one puts out a flare?

  • why wont that asshole quickly steer over to the right instead of staying in the carpool lane? stupid motherfucker..

  • :42 couldn't get his cruise control off.

    Haha.

  • why is there a random caar sitting there ahah

  • i laughed so hard i peed a little....brb

  • the blue car must be asian?

  • I used to do this on GTA SA, then when there would be around 30 cars, I would blow them up with my RPG! anyway I hope no one died

  • I am a native Californian, fuck all the immigrants that come here and clog up our freeway system, get the fuck out of my state.

  • Just zero depth perception or what?

  • Fucking California drivers cant drive worth a Shit! Pay attention to the road you dumb fucks.

  • This is one of the scariest things I have ever seen. I was in my first car accident a couple days ago (rear ended on the freeway) and I am just so thankful that I wasn't hurt. My honest blessings go out to all the victims of car accidents and their families.

  • uuuhm... Destroyed in Seconds from Descovery Channel?

  • They aren't bad drivers, they are just going fast.... In California there is a lot of traffic

  • wtf how is this even funny!???

  • dumb ass california drivers lol

  • probably didn't noticed the emergency lights are blinking lol

  • Someone was probably using their cell phone.

  • this is why America will never have an autobahn

  • @DiamondChrome42 Gay comment, of fucking course someone has to say something about America... because America is the only fucking place where there are car crashes now..

  • @mrronnieae1 yeah it was a gay comment, guess that's why i have 25 thumbs up

  • Comment removed

  • @DiamondChrome42 damn bashing on americans. LA is the last place you'll find a bunch of rednecks, you'll find thugs, crazy niggas, The avenues, all kinds of diversity...come over here and say fuck LA you'll probably get a taste of everyone. you dont ever come to youtube to talk shit... or you'll just have endless arguing... too bad theres not really negative stereotypes for a german.

    Sie dumb Stück Scheiße Schwuchtel.

  • @mrronnieae1 yep and i'll keep bashing America until Americans get their head out of their asses

  • @DiamondChrome42 I suppose there are not 25 other people in the 6.5 billion people on earth that could possibly be as stupid as you are. Do you know how many crashes occur every year on the autobahn? Between 1.5-2 million crashes a year. Are you fucking stupid? This crash has nothing to do with Americans. I find it really annoying when idiots like you can't resist an oportunity to bash my country and its people. Idiot, your just stupid kid. Guess there has never been any oile ups in Germany.

  • @DiamondChrome42 Oh, how I dream we did have autobahns........

  • @DiamondChrome42 yeah they can if only .0000000001 % of americans are allow to drive lol

  • this is why America will never have an adobahn

  • oh btw u guys do realize that americans are europeans that came to america and stayed there? lol stop the hate ;)

  • slow the fuck down... i mean what the fuck were that first car thinking? that van infront of them was at a STOP point and they just slammed into without stopping!!! they must of been high or smt

  • mexicans?

  • NOOOOOOOOOO TWO MUSTANGS :(

  • ii feel bad for every1 hurt in da crash but

    i cnt help it

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH­AHAHHAHA

    srry

  • what people these days seriously cant see tail lights standing still in one place? if it is, stop!!

  • the guy in the toyota corolla was a beast!

  • I love how when Americans try to take the piss out of us they just say "Europeans" because they're mainly too stupid to differentiate between the different countries. We wouldn't call Mexicans and Canadians American so why do they do it to us??

  • What a Dipshit

  • Dam that gold car should look into Drifting for an occupation... He was bobbin and weaving like a pro!!

  • @bigtwinzr900 Was thinking the same thing.

  • I hate all of these stupid fucking foreigners posting shit about American drivers. Shit like this happens all over the world in places w/ no lights, in addition to BLINDING road work lights. I live in Alabama and on the interstate I take to work, there is always the same stupid BLINDING road work lights. However, the majority of the interstate is well lit. This will happen anywhere there are super bright lights pointing into the driver's view along with no road lights !!

  • OLD

  • Stupid American fuks

  • Jesus how fucking stupid can people be oh no there is a crash let me slam on my brakes in the middle of the freeway

  • GodDamn! them muthafuckers are cruisin!!

  • man that first crash was well the worst of the lot!!

  • American drivers. Gotta love em'

  • This stretch of the fwy has no lighting. Cal Trans on the opposite side of the fwy use blinding florescent lighting for construction. As you approach these lights, sometimes you cannot clearly see what's ahead of you. Tail lights from the cars in front become dimmed. On top of that the camera man's spot light is way too bright and he was pointing it at the drivers and waving it around. This only distracts drivers

  • thank god no one was killed.

  • It's just some people having a bit of playful bumper cars with their fellow commuters, where's the harm in that?

  • People in US dont know how to warn drivers in the rear by using hazard lights, driven 101 and 405 4 years

  • @72ganggreen I hate how cocky Europeans generalize all US drivers based on one video. We have a lot of stupid drivers, but not all of us are.

  • In Germany they dont have a speed limit on the freeway but this would not happen as they use their 4 way trafficator or hazzard lights to warn vehicles behind there is a hold up ahead or they are arriving at a hold up i dont see any cars in this footage doing this.

    also in europe some modern cars automatically switch on the hazzard light if the driver breaks hard. warning the drivers behind the fast reduction in speed. it is all only good as long as the drivers behind understand the indication

  • @Olafdogbody Um, how about the van at the VERY BEGINNING of the video you ignorant bastard??!! He has his fucking hazard lights on!! I hate all you dumb ass foreigners talking shit about the United States. Every country in the world has fucking ignorant drivers. The only reason you hear about the ones in America more is because everybody wants a taste of the American Dream, including all the RETARDS from foreign countries like Germany & Mexico!! Also, learn how to spell hazard you dumb fuck!!

  • @Olafdogbody Watch this clip:  watch?v=-r5bClOqhjQ&list=QL&pl­aynext=3

    I know this clip is from Russia, not Germany. However, it DOES show exactly how stupid you fucking ignorant EUROPEANS are too !!!! What's that? They ALL forgot to use their hazzard (spelled incorrectly on purpose to mock your ignorant ass) lights?? Gee golly, I thought EUROPEANS were smarter than Americans?? Looks like they have just-as-ignorant drivers as everyone else does. Fuck off you over-arrogant ignorant European.

  • "deadly obstacle corse" its called SLOW THE FUCK DOWN DO U NOT SEE A FUCKING CRASHED CAR IN FRONT OF U??

  • Pileup in brasil is knows as "Embucetamento veícular".

  • Rofl shows you how dumb americans are our days

  • it's really scary to know how many people aren't paying as much attention as they should when they are driving drive

  • I'm guessing this is about 8-10 @ night. 2 lanes in construction zone, one van stopped, potentially hazardous. #1 any of these fuckin idiots that can push their cars off the road SHOULD instead of blocking traffic/creating hazards #2 In a construction zone you are supposed to decel to 25 mph #3 L.A. drivers have become increasingly stupid over the years- At fault- van-mustang-white truck for hittin the brakes-escort-accord. Were all these guys sleeping or what?

  • this cameraman does not help the traffic situation, he distracted the drivers!!!

  • The fast lane on the 405 at rush hour can be extremely dangerous. People fucking tailgate you at 90mph 2 inches from the center divider, and the 405 needs to be repaired, the road is bumpy in areas.

  • lmfao, what a bunch of stupid drivers. Seriously people in California need to learn how to drive. Lol...

  • I guarantee you that all this was a result of those damn construction work lights blinding the oncoming traffic. Those things are like 4 billion watts and most of the time aren't aimed in a safe manner. The contractor who was working on this highway should ultimately be liable for this pile-up (as well as the drunk van driver obviously)...

  • The driver of that broken down van was also impaired from alcohol... It's true and if he wasn't stupid enough to drive drunk that whole pile up would never have happened!

  • Omg I swear these people cannot drive!

  • How can so many cars that bump so stupid? Americans are lousy drivers ... not comprehend as cars go that fast seeing that there are other cars wrecked! a lot of highway, terrible drivers! in Europe not so many accidents occur multiple and the speed limit is higher than in the United States, i dont understand... o.0

    postscript: the driver of the mustang stupid by far! i love this car

  • @dujmovich i know where you are comeing from but until you drive on the freeways in la u wont understand. we have a set speed limit of 65mph here so ppl tend to go faster. if you loosen the speed ppl dont tend to go as fast as they can. its a phenomenon. lol also when its dark u see lights in front of you without hazard lights you dont know its stopped till its right in front of you and going 90mph wont help. ;]

  • @dujmovich There are terrible drivers everywhere, asshole.

  • this is why im scared of freeways

  • that van just got gang BANGED!

  • there's bad drivers everywhere, not just in the USA. And my opinion is that so far that I've seen is that us freeways are wider with better lanes than any other country. Except for the German autobahn.

  • my mom got in one cause she was talking on her fucking phone and yeah!

  • Is anyone suprised a douche'stang started the pileup?

  • People in LA drive like assholes!!!! Everyone drives too fast and they DO NOT PAY ATTENSION!

  • @RuggedBrotha are you kidding , Houston has way worse drivers than LA, people here go 85 mph on average, its like a racetrack

  • holy sh**!!!!

  • @1990MattC Asshole they can't see!!!!

  • gotta love the two mustangs getting hit........... stupid ford's. HAHAHAHA 

  • see after watching videos like this i dont want to drive anymore there are just way too many idiots that get handed licenses and cant drive...

  • I guess that answers the "should i take off my seat-belt after a crash?" question.

  • this accident was not caused by the construction on the north 405 and cones on the south, it was caused by the camera crews filming. What were they thinking waving their camera lights at traffic? Doing that only creates confusion by motorists

  • A personal injury attorneys dream come true

  • Soon the personal injury attorneys will show up with coffee, donuts and pass out business cards.

  • Ive never seen some much bad drivers in one place

  • @BK2LUMBY4UUrs

    Naw. For bad drivers, look up China Traffic Accidents. At least Californians actually try to brake and swerve. In China they don't even slow down and the traffic accidents happen at 60km, not 70mph

  • @BK2LUMBY4UUrs u mean so much women drivers in one place

  • only in america my friends...

  • stupid americans! ha ha ha this is just pathetic can you buy driver license in gas station in usa?

  • @dorfvonsmorf you're sad and jealous and wish you lived here.. keep talkin shit you sound like every other dumbass on here i bet your sitting in a hut with sandles crying right now hahhaahhaa be happy for what you have and stop trying to look down on others because you are less fortunate

  • @dorfvonsmorf Where are you from asshole? You were riding in a horse and buggy when we had an assembly line producing automobiles.

  • Please note that there were no break lights in front of the first car to hit, no hazard lights on the van, in fact, the tail lights on the van could have made it look like its just a car driving. And why would you slow down for a car breaking in the other lane? Most of the time its just someone to close so they back off a little. If your going 80 and a car is not moving at all, you can hit all the breaks in your car and still skid a very long way and hit it!

  • Its not like they just drove into it without trying to stop, things happen fast people!!

  • @GiMeDaCash yeah the van did to have its hazard lights on look at the video again a 2 time i did when you said that the van had no hazards on

  • @josh198869 Yeah I see that now. I was looking for yellow/orange ones. I don't know why, my truck has some just like these in the video...red. lol thanks

  • @GiMeDaCash no problem it happends to all of us sucks that van got hit so hard thats for sure lol

  • Stupid noob drivers. If you see a whole bunch of brake lights up front, you slow down before you get there. Not drive in at 70mph to investigate before you slow down.

  • Dont know if you are a driver your self, I am pretty sure you aint, because Its difficult to know whether to determine whether they are Brake or Just the Rear lights of the Cars, and you cant determine for sure until you are closed.

    You also cant jeopardise slowing down, because it may have been just the rear lights of cars! THINK! Asshole

  • @MarkMck1994 You are a either a woman driver, senior citizen, or just plain pitiful driver if you can't tell the difference between brake lights and running lights. Do yourself and more importantly everyone else a favor and go retake your driver's ed and/or get your eyes examined. I don't want to be rear ended by you with your excuse being "Oh, I didn't see what was going on till I was 5 feet away" Stupid noob drivers. I swear some of you must've gotten your license out of a cereal box

  • I Do Need to Admit, I Do See the Difference Between Brakes & tail lights. But These people may not have seen them :P

  • @MarkMck1994 Yeah, you must've started driving last year or something. So think before you try to call someone ELSE out.... NOOB!

  • Actually No i Have Been Driving for 4 Years. and 3 Year with UK Roads Policing, where we are trained to perfection on how to drive unlike crappy American police, So Enough from you son

  • come on, was that really necessary? "Crappy american police".

    Jesus, you people.... *shakes head*

  • Yeah, because our Police are Trained to be able to come in situations without the help of Guns. we aint afraid Of them.

    Lol. "Police But your Hands Up"!

    Guy Sneezes

    "GET DOWN ON THE MOTHEFUKIN FLOOR" * Holding Colt 45 at him.

    Come on American Police would be rubbish without their guns.

  • @MarkMck1994

    You've got a fair point - many police (at least in canada) were complete dickheads throughout their lives, and once they became police officers, they have just been on a massive power trip since. However, I do know a few decent officers of the law that have never drawn their gun throughout their careers. Its an unfair and offensive generalization to all of the good cops out there - but I do see where you get the idea

  • @MarkMck1994 SInce your people don't have the FREEDOM of carrying firearms there's no need for your police to be armed. We have freedoms here and our police need to be equipped to handle any situation. I'd like to see how long your cops would live on the streets of New York with their funny hats and wooden batons. Get a clue, loser.

  • @MarkMck1994 Like I said idiot, THINK before you speak..... You just discredited the whole UK Roads "Policing". How, you've only been driving for 4 years? Gtfo noob.

  • all the cars that crashed were women drivers

  • lol badass biker at 0:38, not even fazed by the accident! thats a good driver

  • Oh my gosh, that is so scary. People, don't tailgate! And stay off your damn phones!

  • Bumpin's Racin baby!

  • 1:33 nice drift

  • @dorfvonsmorf: Fuck you. This shit happens everywhere.

  • Especially in america.

  • fucking americans

  • @dorfvonsmorf you're an idiot this happens on every continent dumbass.

  • @xraidedlok no it dont. stupid shit like this ALWAYS happen in america...

  • @dorfvonsmorf ...yeah ok car crashes are only caused by americans.. yes you have an education and a brain i believe it now..

  • @dorfvonsmorf dorfvonsmorf you sound like an std

  • @dorfvonsmorf um us fukin americans...well guess u r a........fukin idiot for sayin that shit.dont be comin up sayin that type a shit allright...cuz one day someone will fukin jump u for that...stuupid idiot...

  • Shit!!!

  • it's about the luxury cars with cruise control. They are driving Hotels where you can comfortably take a nap and forget you are on the road in a 2 ton wrecking ball. Keep cars uncomfortable and people might be more aware.

  • damn, you americans are the DUMBEST drivers ever....WTF, are they driving blindfolded ?! If you pay fucking attention you can see the pile up in front of you....

  • @hitokiri13 hey dumbass this is LA it is a busy free way that host millions of people it is busy when one car crashes in front of you its hard to avoid it especially if you not driving a car with ESC OR ABS. Think do know how long it takes to stop a car going 60 to 70Mph. So STFU with you stupid american crap ive seen worse on your stupid EU freeways!!

  • @hitokiri13 um hold on....stupid americans???shut ur ass up fagot...you know how hard it is to stop when your going 60 70 miles per hour...u guys probably have accidents too!!!well i shouldnt say probably because it happens everywhere...and yea they can see....if u pay the fuk attention in the video u will see that the little red lights they are trying to stop fukin dumass!!!!and dont be sayin stupid american because somebody can say stupid wherever u live....think twice asshole!!!!!

  • im so amazed that none of them were hurt

  • Thats the kind of call that we E.M.T.s know there will be a high D.O.A. chance

  • This is why the CHP tells people, if your involved in an accident on the freeway stay in your car! Too many damn idiots driving on the roads!

  • these people could of use the emergency brake stick for serious Stopping
