I've heard about Donner pass and the Three Sisters, and such, out West, but I've never driven such roads myself. I'm a midwest driver. The worst roads I deal with are through the Appalachians, which are nothing by comparison, from what I hear. But I've had my scarey moments and I've been lucky enough to learn the easy way (I'm still alive). I wonder if the student didn't try to downshift only to realize he couldn't get it back into gear in time as the truck rapidly gained speed?

1 guy was in the truck

I was thinking the big truck was chasing after the pick-up, the pick-up was driving way to fast too maybe they had some kind of altercation.

@emutiny This happened in the Sierra mountains in California. The driver just came over Donner Pass and was heading west towards Sacramento on I-80. Driving like that I'm surprised he got that far.

I thought the truck filming was just going to sneek on through and keep going!

@fthrcast. Those speed limit signs are for cars dumb ass. Not trucks. Do 5 to 10 slower than posted around turns. Even more in poor conditions.

[CMRootedG1]

Yeah. The student was driving while his mentor was sleeping in the bunk. Tragic.

@Nitrazepam000 i think its colorodo and the driver and his trainer perished. This road is known as donner pass. It has very steep grades and corners.

Did you notice that the small pickup truck was a bit careless too? He actually couldn't make the turn , while staying in the passing lane. That should have been a clue for the trucker who was behind him (who crashed).  The beginning of the video shows how the passer was actually drifting to the other truck already before the pass/ twist and braking rollover. Something other than driving was going on there. In a 55 , you don't go 70 around downhill bends , uphill bends you can , but not OK.

But you don't swerve your trailer around back and forth , in a tight inside turn like that. You have to bleed the load into the right lane or use alot of brake , especially where the trailer is coming out of the passing lane. That tells you you are too fast for the turn. I would have pressed the brake when I was beside the other truck , and held it well into the inside lane turn , then proceeded to pass to the right lane. No swerving , wow that was like a snowmobile move. He needed a ramp.
