If you look at his load just before impact, it was tarped neatly and strapped down right....more like traits of a sober man with mechanical issues beyond his control, just saying that equipment is in good shape, if ur spending money on drugs u can't afford equipment LOL
this video should be taken off of youtube because this accident didnt have nothing to do with texting! the uploader should have his typing fingers cut off!
Shouldn't it be a requirement to have run-flat tires on a big rig? Would it even work for a large truck? This video just shows with all possible clarity that society cannot afford big rigs without blowout protection. The screams are heartbreaking, and I truly hope nobody was seriously hurt.
It does look like the truck blew a front tire, When that happens it's a bitch to control it. I was OTR driver and something I remember in training was if the front tire blows , don't hit your brakes, because you will die !!! You have to slow it down , but at 70 mph, thats hard to do !!
@Spitfyre2170 Adrenaline makes you do crazy stuff. It actually stops you from thinking. So next time you see something like this, just think that they might have been trying to do just that.
I stopped actioned it several times and it didn't look like a blown tire and if it there was something wrong with the suspension the wheel would have shown some abnormality like folding in or out. Having driven big rigs for numerous years and nodding off at the wheel more times than I care to remember I think the old boy just plain dozed off. Lesson, that extra mile or being threatened by your dispatch to get that load p/u or delivered doesn't mean shit when your dead.
the truck hit a car which made the car drag in to the bus camera and the bus was ok the car driver was ok and IDK about the truck driver i pretty sure hes ok to.
To Johnnysplits from a long-haul semi driver. "bald tires and driving 16,000 pounds overweight" speaks for itself and makes your assinine argument ... well ... assinine!
From what I seen in the video the driver of the truck swerved in the wrong direction to avoid rear ending the cars that were stopping in front of him. A good reason why no matter what kind of vehicle you are in, if you are coming to a complete stop on a 70+ mph interstate, turn on your 4-way flashers as soon as you realize you are going to come to a stop. He was probably following to close, he was stupidly over gross on his weight, he may have been texting, but I doubt he was methed up.
any driver driving a vechile over weight is a fucking moron & needs to be shot espeacially the dumbass braging about 5000lb over in a van shit your stupid could have made twice the money doing two deliveries, If I cant carry all the goods legally in one load I wont & if they try to force me, I parked it & report it to the authorities I aint risking my saftey & those around me so save some greedy fuck a few dollars
@af9126 i used to drive 5,000 lbs overweight all the time in a van so I wouldnt think 16,000 is that much for a tractor trailer. Until you are forced with the situation to have to travel in a vehicle that is carrying too much goods its hard to say anything about that driver. I had to haul material and guys 150 miles every day in a 15 passenger van that I took the seats out of and I will tell you first hand if you refuse to carry all the goods then you might as well look for another job!
To all the assholes who think it's the drivers fault...have any of you ever thought that maybe the left steer tire blew? If you blow a front tire in a car, maintaining control is a bitch at 70mph. With a tractor trailer, it's almost impossible to maintain control. And if your not ready for it, this is what can happen.
@zhuzhuproductions Stop being a fucking fool. nobody does that on purpose, it was an ACCIDENT. NOBODY IS TO BLAME IN AN ACCIDENT.
IF YOU WANT TO FUCKING BLAME THE TRUCK DRIVER FOR GOING 70MPH, YOU MAY AS WELL BLAME THE GUY THAT WELDED THE AXEL WHEN THERE IS AN AXEL FAILURE IN A VEHICLE. ITS JUST NOT FUCKING WORTH IT. STOP WHINING. IT SEEMS EVERYBODY WAS OKAY, THATS WHAT MATTERS!
@TheJohnnysplits there is a chance you are right, However having worked at a place I came in contact with truckers on a regular basis, I have met many who SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE PROFFESIONALLY. Its not always their fault, and there are good truckers, but there are also plenty of bad ones.
and how do you know that the driver was methed up you need to do your reaserch before you shoot your mouth off about truck drivers because that driver had a heart attack thats why he crashed you retard you have no clue
in case anyone was actually wondering...truckers are not allowed to be on meth, nor text and drive...not that any of that had anything to do with this accident....poster of this vid is a jackass
Does anyone have the ORIGINAL NEWS STORY about this? I see lots of people writing about what happened and such without sourcing. Does anyone have the date, time and location of this crash? I want to know what happened. Is this video from a Bus or something?
The black car in the crash was audi tt. The guy survived with minor injuries to the head and you couldn't believe that by looking at the wreck. He was in hospital on the bed and talking to his wife. I saw the whole report.
Screaming doesn't really stop the vehicle now does it? I dont get it why those girls never even hit the brake. I know they couldn't have stopped, but at least they would have lost a little speed before impact.
@peshovec I'm sorry. But if a huge semi-truck suddenly swerves right toward me (all the while also pushing another car in my direction) on the freeway, I'd be screaming, too (as would you). As for slamming on the break, who knows how one would really react when in a situation such as this one.
Methed up truckers? Texting and Drivng? Ever heard of mechanical failure? Learn your facts dumb ass! Remember one thing.....when the trucks stop, your life will change. The stores will empty out and good luck with the trains delivering goods to your local store. No matter what, everything is on a truck at some point or another. Trucks deliver everything except babies! I do feel for the person in the black car and their family, it is a shame!
ignorent people are so quick to judge, stopping an 18 wheeler is harder than u think. especially when u got idiots that move right infront of the semi it takes much longer time to stop than a small vehicle. even when the truck is in top condition things break.like a video of mine to see it type[ trucking accident 187] his steering box and brakes gave out. so before u judge think on the mistakes you do driving a regular car and multtiply by 10. PEACE OUT
Steering arm didn't break before impact, that driver steered his rig that direction. The right lane was blocked and traffic was backing up quickly and the driver was speeding while not paying attention. If you weren't there, just make note of the traffic around the red Peterbilt before he veered left.
Whoever said it was the trucks' fault is obviously dumb. I have ridden on that highway many times with my cousin (he is a truck driver) and he tells me how "slick" the highway can be. Before you start blaming the truck driver for the accident, look at the truck drivers' point of view, not just the "victims" or I would add the truck driver as a victim too, won't I?
If a steer tire blows your only hope is to HAMMER DOWN and hope that forward momentum keeps you straight long enough to bring the truck to a safe(r) stop. If your steering arm goes... god be with you.
When the chaos settled, the mangled Audi was crushed under the truck and against the concrete median.
Miraculously, the driver survived, and was reported to be alert and moving his limbs when he was taken to a hospital. He was listed in stable condition. Eight people were hurt on the bus.
The tractor-trailer's driver was cited for, among other things, bald tires and driving a truck 16,000 pounds overweight.
@1475lucky are you serious, the semi cut in front of that little black car and the driver with the camera had to have pancaked that car into the semi.
@urwinll I saw this on the news and they said evryone lived but 8 people on the bus the camera was on were hurt and i think the driver hadsome minor injuries.
I think it could have been some dumb ass 4wheeler who cut him off. Or could have been mechanical failure. Just goes to show u dont fuck with 18 wheelers,
@vibe2fast I don't think that trucker done that intentionally, if I was in his position (I have the license too) and was cut off, I'll either kill the guy who cut me off and turn his car into a beer can, or I'll steer right to try to avoid an accident. Seems to me this is more like a serious mechanical failure or trucker falling a sleep and when he realize it's too late...
@defencerulez Your 100% correct except for one thing...if you are loaded, you NEVER cut that wheel to avoid accidents. You'll possibly kill yourself, and definitely kill whoever happens to be next to the trailer as it's going over. If your empty, that's a different story.
@vibe2fast Would you say the same thing if it were your family injured or killed by this truck? Really having a license to drive a truck does not give you a license to kill. Lets face the facts... alot of truck drivers are small wimpy guys that cant get laid so they drive big trucks to make them feel big. Once they are out of the truck they go back to being undereducated pussies.
Huh, sounds like by the comments below, my initial guess (blown steer and/or broken suspension) were the culprit. YEah, thanks for just labeling truckers meth heads, asshole. Text me your address and I'll give you some driving lessons.
Saw this on the news a while back. The guy in the Black car walked away from the accident. I remember because he worked for an Audi dealer and he kept going on about how the car did its job
Hey tard, this is a dumb video to use for for texting while driving cause you don't know exactly what the driver is doing. four wheelers have no clue!!
It must have been pretty scary going head first into that truck ._. I pass by a lot of big rigs going to school , and THESE are just one of that risks of driving near one.
I remember see this accident, something about over weight and tires was the trucker excuse. You'll never get me to drive on the Long Island Expressway.
Being over weight and having bald tires were what they found after the fact, not necessarily the cause. As suddenly as the truck veered to the left it had to have been a mechanical failure, like broken suspension or steering component, other than blow steer tire, if it weren't a medical emergency.
@lightbee101 if you notice its a trash hauler! always overweight and forget about tires. the truck probably should not have been on the road... i will say most of those who haul trash do not take good care of their equipment. I drive the L.I.E. everyday in a big truck... mostly 4 wheelers are the cause of the accidents. but after an inspection the truck will be blamed even if it wasnt their fault!
not true his hand could have been on the wheel and when he fell asleep his arm would have rested therefore pulling on the wheel which leeds to the truck making a hard left.
when you see half a dozen cars to your right fly by, just because you are in the HOV lane doesn't mean you won't have to slow down for traffic also. I never pass any car more than 15 MPH faster than them. Too bad these kids were already speeding, they had no where to evade. I've been hit in the winshield by flying tire scrap. You never know when something weird will happen... but no one drives a safe braking distance. Now i drive a bicycle and enjoy HUMAN speeds.
Steering arm broke on the truck.. There was nothing the truck or cars around him could do....Before you start passing the blame game drive down 65mph and pull the steering wheel to the left as hard as you can and let's see if you stop before hitting the wall on a 3 lane highway.
@Hordetuff I knew something had to happen I am a truck driver with my husband. Drivers just don't do that. It is sad this happened to that poor trucker and has to live with the accident. No fault of his.
@Hordetuff Agreed...nothing else would send a rig into that type of acrobatic manuver....But thats all we can say, nothing else will make that 4 wheeler driver think differant...its just another "scary truck" whos "stupid driver" caused a horrible accident....I LOVE DRIVING TRUCK.....ugh....
@Hordetuff Yea his control arm on his left side cracked which means that he lost his steering, lost his left side brakes and he also was dragging his left contro, arm which forced it left faster then just pulling the steering wheel left. people just assume these days.
The black car in the crash was audi tt. The guy survived with minor injuries to the head and you couldn't believe that by looking at the wreck. He was in hospital on the bed and talking to his wife. I saw the whole report.
If you look at his load just before impact, it was tarped neatly and strapped down right....more like traits of a sober man with mechanical issues beyond his control, just saying that equipment is in good shape, if ur spending money on drugs u can't afford equipment LOL

Lets face the facts... alot of truck drivers are small wimpy guys that cant get laid so they drive big trucks to make them feel big. Once they are out of the truck they go back to being undereducated pussies.

No, it was the trucker's fault. Just goes to show you that some semi drivers shouldn't be on the road.

Huh, sounds like by the comments below, my initial guess (blown steer and/or broken suspension) were the culprit. YEah, thanks for just labeling truckers meth heads, asshole. Text me your address and I'll give you some driving lessons.

Saw this on the news a while back. The guy in the Black car walked away from the accident. I remember because he worked for an Audi dealer and he kept going on about how the car did its job

It must have been pretty scary going head first into that truck ._. I pass by a lot of big rigs going to school , and THESE are just one of that risks of driving near one.

I remember see this accident, something about over weight and tires was the trucker excuse. You'll never get me to drive on the Long Island Expressway.
lightbee101 2 years ago
Being over weight and having bald tires were what they found after the fact, not necessarily the cause. As suddenly as the truck veered to the left it had to have been a mechanical failure, like broken suspension or steering component, other than blow steer tire, if it weren't a medical emergency.
heatherrose2006 2 years ago
@lightbee101 if you notice its a trash hauler! always overweight and forget about tires. the truck probably should not have been on the road... i will say most of those who haul trash do not take good care of their equipment. I drive the L.I.E. everyday in a big truck... mostly 4 wheelers are the cause of the accidents. but after an inspection the truck will be blamed even if it wasnt their fault!

"a methed up truck driver"? You must be lisping!!!
Why is It obvious to everyone else but you the there was either a medical emergency or a mechanical failure that caused this accident.
I just checked you channel. Now I understand your just a German moron, your excused.
heatherrose2006 2 years ago
yea or he fell aslep. my mom was a trucker fer years and most of the accidents that she heard of were cuz they fell asleep
bryanxernst 2 years ago
If the driver had fallen asleep, the the truck would have drifted into the next lane, not took a hard left.
heatherrose2006 2 years ago
not true his hand could have been on the wheel and when he fell asleep his arm would have rested therefore pulling on the wheel which leeds to the truck making a hard left.
bryanxernst 2 years ago
when you see half a dozen cars to your right fly by, just because you are in the HOV lane doesn't mean you won't have to slow down for traffic also. I never pass any car more than 15 MPH faster than them. Too bad these kids were already speeding, they had no where to evade. I've been hit in the winshield by flying tire scrap. You never know when something weird will happen... but no one drives a safe braking distance. Now i drive a bicycle and enjoy HUMAN speeds.

Steering arm broke on the truck.. There was nothing the truck or cars around him could do....Before you start passing the blame game drive down 65mph and pull the steering wheel to the left as hard as you can and let's see if you stop before hitting the wall on a 3 lane highway.

@Hordetuff I knew something had to happen I am a truck driver with my husband. Drivers just don't do that. It is sad this happened to that poor trucker and has to live with the accident. No fault of his.

@Hordetuff Skillfully driving a truck day in and dayout is seriously underestimated. This is a dangerous job and they should be thanked.

@Hordetuff Agreed...nothing else would send a rig into that type of acrobatic manuver....But thats all we can say, nothing else will make that 4 wheeler driver think differant...its just another "scary truck" whos "stupid driver" caused a horrible accident....I LOVE DRIVING TRUCK.....ugh....
strumem90 1 year ago
@Hordetuff Yea his control arm on his left side cracked which means that he lost his steering, lost his left side brakes and he also was dragging his left contro, arm which forced it left faster then just pulling the steering wheel left. people just assume these days.

The black car in the crash was audi tt. The guy survived with minor injuries to the head and you couldn't believe that by looking at the wreck. He was in hospital on the bed and talking to his wife. I saw the whole report.
