Semi rolls over on Donner Pass. Please read description !!!

A tractor trailer can't handle a 55 mph curve and is speeding way to fast down Donner Pass, but its to late. The driver looses control, and the dash cam in an England truck catches the action. The England driver does pull off the road safely after he passes the wreck to assist. The rookie driver, and the driver trainer was killed instantly in this wreck. This is not my video, but as being a driver myself for 43 years, and a trainer, I have seen many usless accidents myself over the years by drivers in a hurry, tired, or just in-experienced. If the viewing of this video saves one life, then it has done its job. Please be safe out there driver, and God bless the family of the lost loved ones...

i drove for england for a while and they drilled this video into us over and over during our training about mountain driving

@gregboydes. Learn some facts before you run your mouth. Of accidents involving 4 wheelers and semis, 73% of the time it's the 4 wheelers fault! Even brand new truckers are a lot better trained than your average 4 wheeler. Think about it, most people get their license at 16, 20 yrs later has that person had any extra training? Probably not. Don't stereotype all truckers because of a few idiots.

@gregboyds Guess what asshole? its consumers like yourself that we are the reason for being on the road. If it wasn't for the insatiable appetite for consumer goods then we wouldn't have to bust our collective asses. There are not enough truck to keep up with the demand consumers place on the system.

The driver was driving the truck like you might drive a car because he was not instructed about the limts of the vehicle or the effects of a loaded or empty trailer. Stab braking and counter steering have saved my bacon a few times. I-80 has claimed many trucks and drivers almost always because of inproper training by companys cranking out drivers as fast as possible.

@gregboyds Evidently all the education that you have recieved has failed to endow you with any common sense.

@gregboyds

AND ( (im sorry, something about you I dont like). This country was built by huge, dangerous machinery, operated by poor, uneducated laborers, who busted their asses to build this civilization. So, lot of good your "education" has done in helping you see the reality of things.

@gregboyds

Oh and since you dont seem to know what you're talking about, the bulk of all big companies that hire the rookies, are governed between 60-65 MPH, while 90% of the retarded 4-wheeler drivers around them are bobbing and weaving down the highway at 70-85 MPH. Read some statistics before making another dumb ass assertion please.
