[BeantownJim]

Great taste in music hahahahaha

[ShieldArc200]

Drive like hell,,,,you will get there.

[decarlolamb]

THAT SONG IS NOT APPROPRIATE! 2 PEOPLE DIED and left behind friends and family! What's so happy about that?

[Chinook249]

Where... IS the truck?! LOL

[decarlolamb]

@Chinook249 Look at the original video and after pics on "Donner Pass Rollover: plus after the fact pictures." that's by 'TheBarberian' who was the driver that taped this!! THE TRUCK WAS DEMOLISHED AND 2 MEN DIED, SO IT'S NOT "LOL" !

[n5xla]

when you go to the stevens school they play this video a lot to the students.

[mcbm22]

try to explain that one to the boss when it is on tape?

[peterbilt37971075]

@mcbm22 i dont think they did i think a state trooper did

i beleive they died thats what another video said

[aliphay]

this is how fast something can change around you the driver of the truck filming it could have been involved if they were not alert.This is why you have to keep your distance away from us trucks

[jasada09]

@aliphay anytime i see an 18 wheeler or any big rig for that matter i tend to let it pass me especially downhill

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

ooh damn did he go over the rail? god bless him

[dawnofthedeadling]

I've seen this video posted somewhere else before. I wonder what happened. That's so scary. :|

[hubcap335]

thate freaky !

see my close call video >-

[lena1707]

I heard the driver let go of the wheel when he couldn't find the gear. Then said God guide this truck. So sad. I tell my husband everyday to be careful and drive safe. All OTR or dedicated or evern local drivers Please drive safe.

[dragfirebird73]

bobby is that one of ur students lmao

[ShaneMSnyder]

That's stupid, sad, and fucked up wrapped up into 53 seconds of video. Man, what a shame.

[acct195w]

the trainer was in back sleep and the driver was trying to make up time the trainer was kill he body was find down the hill, please pray for the family

[fozza6]

was about to have a go at you for not stopping but you did all is well :D

[RobsMusicBox]

was he actually Chasing?? the guy in the white pickup??..i can see that its a steep grade,but..

good reaction by the video-taker/driver as well.

[wreaksrevenge]

too fast

[mishkaru2002]

is this was in California I-80 west bound before the Auburn city??

[keystrucker]

I think so..i just reposted it..the original poster was thebarbarian

[37santagertrudes]

Thank you. That suck for the trainer was a sleep when this happen. And the driver was a young man with maybe a family.

[37santagertrudes]

how many people were in the truck?

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

2 people the trainer was in the sleeper. The Kid driving had only had his CDL 9 days. Not the trainers fault, it was the companys, Instead of running the truck as a 1 man truck so the trainer can train, that load was schedualed as if it was team drivers, so they take turns sleeping.

[heatherrose2006]

"Training" in the trucking industry is a tasteless JOKE! It is the main reason that these Mega Corporations are self insured, not a single insurance company in their right mind are willing to risk a dime of their own money with the "training programs" that these Mega Corporations currently have in place. The "team driver" situation that you mentioned is an all too common scenario.

[heatherrose2006]

A dangerous majority of the "trainers" in this industry are barely out of "training" themselves. While Mega Corporations shoulder a majority of the blame for the lethal "training" culture that they have nurtured, to say that "trainers" are blameless, is not entirely true. The "accident" in the video and countless others just like it, are akin to a 12 year old babysitter napping while the four year old baby plays with the owner of the house's loaded pistol. The results are as equally disastrous.

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

What i get from watching it is the trainee hit the downgrade before he found a gear, and in nuetral you dont have a jake, and on a 6-7% grade you dont have a whole lot of time to use the brakes before they burn and are useless, you depend on the engine brake (jake). Once you start accellerating from gravity its almost impossible for a kid with licence for only 9 days to find a gear, and even harder to down shift without over using the brake without the jakes help, just a lot of grinding.

[NJKatwoman]

The curves make me nervous, and if it has a posted speed, I take it slower than posted. And then I ease iinto the curve. This is so sad, and shouldn't have happened.

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

my experiance, your perfectly safe at the posted speeds on the yellow signs. I go a lot faster on the roads i know, and know the weather conditions, since im mostly a dedicated route, but on a road thats new to me i follow the posted. That wasnt his prob though, he didnt mean to speed, hes a trainee and didnt find a gear before the downhill, so he had no jake, and he fryed his service brakes. If you remember your training days, it can be a bitch to find a gear from nuetral on a downhill.

[ngunbileg]

Yep, that was a brakelss (runaway) truck. Driver and trainer (was sleeping in sleeper) both dead on scene.

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

i read the report but didnt get close details but from what i can tell your 100% right, I dont think he found a gear before the downgrade, then just grinded trying to get it in gear (was hell for me in training too) so he rode the service brakes until they fryed, then BAM runway truck. He should have woke the trainer as soon as he couldnt find a gear, an experianced driver can grab a gear and downshift on a downgrade, but this kid had his license 9 days..i know that pass, he had time but paniced

[cat691]

Godamn! Bet thats gonna leave a mark!

[Colarx8]

wow..that was close..if the england in that turn, that would of took him out..geez..

[keystrucker]

yep..he lucked out for sure..

[chevyman8329]

I'm thinkin it was a runaway truck.

[btjohnson83]

Damn, I wonder if the cab of the england truck still smells like shit?

[keystrucker]

lol..i bet it does..

[newCDLdriver]

SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN, SLOOWW, DOWNNNN

[BadAssTruck]

Now that sure did turn into a pile of junk in a hurry..

[keystrucker]

a big pile...poor guys

[jp2691]

Don't really like the song choice O.o. Wasn't exactly a happy day....Poor guy, All you truckers drive safe you here.

[keystrucker]

well.if they were religious men it's supposed to be a happy day when you meet up with the man in charge??

[cmcdanie90]

Donner pass is nothing to play with. when I ran out there, I use to see trucks blow by me and take part of the other lane to make the turn.

[keystrucker]

True that cmc..

[cmcdanie90]

Damm, what if you were in the bunk and your team driver did this. was the driver ok? His driving career is over.

[keystrucker]

trainer in the bunk and student was behind the wheel...both are now gone..

[jp2691]

Yeah that actually was the case. There was a guy in the bunk. Yes the drivers career is over and his life ended in that crash you see. As well as the trainer in the bunk. The cabs drivers compartment came down right into the guard rail crushing the entire cab

[newbz89]

he did stop.. right at the end tho where he could pull over and be safe

[godzillasdad]

I notice the driver making the film didn't stop

[loud2ns]

Seems to me that he did stop.....or are you blind????

[4brighteyes]

Brother Jeff told me this was out here..OMG how horrible, lost his life in a n instant

[gio0829]

he should`ve slowed down he went in too fast.

[RadianceNorth]

poor trucker

great video

[Gehniss]

Where you going downhill at the time?

[grangeroo]

damn, that camera was convenient

[gabe0083]

yeah those top heavy trucks can give you a real bad surprise over the slightest curve

[goldick231]

the driver shouldve straightend it out.. he had all the room he needed, its too bad i hear he died :(

[keystrucker]

I think it was the trainee driving when they crashed and both lost their lives.

[goldick231]

oh that sux

[jimiboyd]

your right . he should have never slammed on brakes till it was straight. then he would have never rolled it over. his momentum would have carried him around what little curve was left

[juvmol]

naahh u didnt tape tath one??

i seen it some were else ....

[TheBarberian]

I taped it. It was leaked out for a month before I knew it. I gave up stopping people posting it, unless they are disrespectfull to freinds and families of the drivers.

[juvmol]

so u are the england driver??

[keystrucker]

yeah, i got it from a friend of mine. I hope I'm not being disrespectful of them. I know it's a very private moment when someone meets their death and maybe this will help others live when they see what can happen. I understand it was a trainee driving and a trainer either watching or in the back?

[Irreo]

Wow, that was a bad crash. It's good to show this things on youtube, even if there are fatalities. Some families may see it as unrespectful for the ones gone, but I see it educative... who knows maybe he got without brakes, or maybe just pushed too fast without knowing the road properly.

In any case, keep safe and use your brain, either driving trucks, or cars.

[TRUCKERMcD]

On a video I posted last week with the truck that didn't make the curve on the snowy road, well guess what. Same thing happened this week in the exact same place under the same conditions. PLEASE SLOW DOWN!

[aid2003]

Dont risk your life truckers..slow down..

Your family needs you..

[NVOLEON]

WOW!!

[keystrucker]

yeah but notice how england shifted lanes while he was getting passed by the guy. He did a great job avoiding being hit too.

[Whitelinefilms]

The driver that captured this did a all around good job handling this entire situation... For sure!!!!

[trikmitruk]

man that sucks,almost took out england too.

[doobisbone]

I seen that before on myspace. Scary b/c more than you know it, a lot of drivers speed.

[NJKatwoman]

OMG!!!! Yes, I saw this before!!! The driver took the curve too quickly! I also heard that there were fatalities! God, please brother/sister truckers, please slow down! Don't let these messed up HOS, and ignorant dispatchers push you to speed and drive unsafely! May they rest in peace.

:(

[keystrucker]

yes god bless them..i understand there were two fatalities.
