Donner Pass Rollover: plus after the fact pictures.

This was not supposed to be released to the general public because I did not want the "faces of death" crowd to get it. Two men died in this accident, they left behind friends and families. I have read the posts others have left on the unathorized posting of my video and decided to post on this myself (I just found the vid on the web today).

That's sad. I was almost a witness to something similar while going down a 6% grade mountain pass in CO. I was behind a truck behind an extremely slow car and after the car turned off the frustrated trucker sped up and soon began to lose control. Thankfully there was a well-placed runaway truck ramp he took or no doubt there would have been a disaster by the next curve. Trucker was okay, think his truck had some minor damage but it could have been so much worse. Terrifying reminder for sure.

Donner is legendary in and of itself. The worst downhill stretch that I've found is the road headed to Laughlin, NV from Kingman, AZ. Not as long as Donner, but it's 13 miles of 6% without a break with a traffic light at the bottom.

@TxRattPack dont forget lookout pass ID /MT

[retiredmp05]

you can go down 1,000 times to slow, but only once to fast

[TxRattPack]

And this wasn't road rage with the pickup either. You can plainly tell the truck was going way to fast when they passed the England truck that was filming. He dropped off the top 'knowing' he could handle it. Same story every year, different truck, different driver, different mountain, but the same story. You can almost always tell a new driver. They are always tailgating a slower truck or car, when they themselves are castrated, etc etc etc

Something else I will never understand is why any company would allow anyone with less than a year of experience to even come close to Donner, Cabbage, Soldier or any of the other mountains that can get you or anyone else killed before you realized(usually too late) you screwed the pooch rather spectacularly.

God Bless this Trainer and the driver and regardless of the reasons for the accident As a Driver my heart and love goes out to the families of all those involved in this accident. I know that words don't help much when you've lost a love one but know this. They are with God now and looking down on us. Every time another driver weather it be student,trainer,or experienced watches this video they are smiling and reminding us that SAFTEY IS IMPORTANT!!!
