Got a call to shoot this accident and thought it was interesting how they got a jack-knifed 18-wheeler out of the mud on a rainy day.

  • how did he crash in the first place?? :S

  • the officer gives a vague explanation of the trailer drifting on a wet road or something. That's all I know.

  • Whose the fat guy is he just there to feel important looks a little gay hah

  • why didnt the wrecker driver just stop and then pull him out from the front? instead of dragging him more through the mud.

  • See what happens when you put Mack mudflaps on a Freightshaker!

  • empty is more dangerous than loaded on slippery

  • Poor tractor :(

  • @CenterLane1977 You always pull them out the way they went in. It lowers the chances of further damage. Note to any driver who may find themselves in a similar situation or just plain struck. If you are stuck you are stuck. The only thing spinning the tires does is burn up the power divider and if you do it long enough the burned up power divider will granade the front differential. Been there.

  • A jackknife is when the meet side by side, meaning either the trailer whipped around and hit the truck, or the truck turns too tight or stops too fast and causes the truck and trailer to meet

  • The driver in the tractor trailer did more harm than good. By spinning the tires while on that muddy grade the truck was sucked farther into the ditch. That pull would have been so much easier if it was just allowed to roll. Terrible way to display their ability to do recoveries.

  • The cop had his collar insignias on upsid down. If you'll notice when you look at them, the US letters are upside down. But yah, that chick kind of made an ass out of herself when she screamed at the truck driver though hugh. The trucker is lucky not to get a ticket...I bet he was relieved

  • where was this

    

  • what does it mean when someone "jackknifes a trailer"? - would someone be so kind as to explain it to me?

  • @haleydaily I hope they know that women cant drive....

  • after he was pulled from the mud he was facing in the wrong direction, how did the truck get turned around to face the correct direction?
