Thank you for letting people know that the person at fault wasn't the trucker. Most people I know believe that all big truck/four-wheeler accidents are the fault of the trucker when in fact most are the fault of the car driver.

I am a truck driver he in california, and i just wiash that the states would put more questions about big rigs on the tests and teach the kids about it in school!! But unfortunatley most people dont realize that my 80,000 lb truck cannot stop as soon as they do and in most cases the trucker is killed and the car driver lives.

That is my older brother in there.. I Absolutely hate people that put accident videos on there. Its a terrible thing and i just witnessed that i understand that i shouldnt watch it but still just to find this on youtube and for everyone to witness that. I dont even knwo if he was alive when this was taken. but i think this is disrespectful. Thats my opinion ! RIP, Stephan Van Elowijk. I miss you Brother. I love you . <3

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for pionting out that THE 4 WHEELER caused the crash.I Only HOPE the trucker went quick , and did not have to suffer.I witnessed a trucker burn alive,in a wreck.myself and other drivers were unable to get him out.I STILL have nightmares ..I am a truck driver and that is one of my biggest fears..being in a wreck..sitting over 200 gallons of fuel , and unable to get out.
