Please, slow down in the icy roads!

Please, dive safely. We need all of us to vote against Obama.

Here's what I found:

Its a russian video, this is the english translation from the youtube copy of this video- Accidents on the road M-7 in Petushki district of the Vladimir region near the village of Omutischi February 24. Nissan Navara car for the oncoming issued under the Freightliner. The driver of Nissan, the current one leg, and found part of it ... The girl wrote that she saw in this video how her friend died. His name was Alexander, said that was a good guy, an experienced driver. I was driving home to his wife and 2nd child ... February 24 happened. Funeral at 12:30 on February 28 in Balashikha ... The body is not given in the morgue ..... we (friends) looking for information on this accident, the day before .. it is a tragedy for us ... It's such grief. " Today, they copied the video and showed to his wife ... In general, all in shock. No one understands how it all happened. Here is the thing - when you write a summary and commentary, sometimes you do not see them living people, but when the personal element suddenly appears ... In general, the trouble and broken lives ...

WHOOPS 21..

Winter tires and the right car help with driving on ice.

I received an email 2 weeks ago with this video clip. It was stated in the email this happened on I-80 between Sacramento and Reno around Donner summit

85 degF and sunny here. Not a problem.

..the car following the semi lucked out and the driver of the box truck made a great recovery

[CORedneck]

Now I know why I like a lot of space around when I am driving especially like on those roads ! I don’t like being in a group of cars !

[Retired Greyhound]

That’s why I prefer center dividers.

Guy committed suicide.

No, he overcorrected after drifting into the median snow bank.

Probably took his eye off the road to text someone.

Poor driver, and of course his family. The driver probably experienced sheer terror for a few seconds, but then the lights went out immediately. I pity the truck driver, who also probably peed himself and is probably still having nightmares and depression.

I was once hit broadside on the driver’s side by a taxicab at a city intersection — fortunately, at low enough speed that the only thing hurt was my car door. The look of horror on the cabdriver’s face was almost as bad as feeling my own terror. It took months to get over.

i didnt see a barrier between apposing traffic lanes - not many highways left in that area without some barrier function.

Never seen a vehicle disintegrate like that.

[Theoria]

Dang. Sometimes, medians are a good thing. There was nothing that semi could do. Wow.

[Retired Greyhound]

I’m sure the driver was fine...

Maybe, but the passenger is definitely not ok.

[Wiser now]

The truck driver made no attempt to avoid the suv; he didn’t brake, or swerve. He cannot possibly have been paying attention to what was happening around him.

[lardog]

That could very well be. I just stated what was in the email. Wherever it happened it was terrible.

Wha? is that your conclusion? Did you see any snow out there? Any signs of ice? A swerving semi would have possible taken out more than just the one vehicle. That driver should be commended for not doing any of that. Looked like the semi would maintain direction despite broadsiding a heavy object.

Thanks for the link. At first I thought you could see future posts. :)
