Terrified female driver, 19, desperately signals for help as her car is dragged down Chicago highway by oblivious truck driver after it got trapped when she changed lanes

This is the astonishing moment a teenage driver desperately waved for help out of her window as a semi-truck dragged her car sideways along a Chicago highway.

Footage recorded on Tuesday at around 11:40 a.m. by a motorist travelling on Interstate 294 northbound, in Cook County near milepost 30.25, shows clouds of dust rising from beneath the truck as it travelled along the road, pulling a 2005 black Honda Accord with it.

A long time ago, an illegal alien bought a truck driver license from the Illinois DMV and something fell off the back of his truck; 7 kids died in a mini-van fire when that something hit the van. Dot...dot...dot... George Ryan went from Governor of Illinois to prison because he was Secretary of State in Illinois when the guy bought the license.

Nothing in the story to directly connect this story and that old one, but as I read the headline and excerpt, that was the first thing that came to mind. Hopefully not related, but I am not a firm believer in coincidences.

I just drove from Phoenix to Orlando then to St. Petersburg, then back. I drove small roads on the way there through NM, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama.

We drove 1-10 on the way back through Fla, Louisiana, all of Texas and NM.

To say it's over crowded everywhere, now, would be an understatement.

It was pretty heavy traffic straight through from Florida to mid Texas. And once you hit El Paso, which you used to be able to sail through, the madness picked back up.

Insanely dangerous driving conditions. Unpleasant. Every exit just a conglomerate of the same box stores. Boomers oblivious to the carnage out in mass in giant Winnebagos hauling Jeeps and SUVs. I actually saw one of them hauling a Jeep AND a golf cart from their massive SUV. At one point, we saw the Winnebago and SUV rolled over on it's side in the median. Boomers walking around it in wonderment.

Funny, we had Thanksgiving with some extended family and friends much to Fauci's disapproval. One was from Puerto Rico. She was explaining how the grandmother came here first and eventually brought in something like 15 other family members. All of which now have kids. Another was from Papua New Guinea and same story. I don't know who came first, but they later brought in a gazillion people. Both instances, they were refugee status.

This sh*t has real consequences and we are living it.

A lot of people run their cell phone cameras in the event of an accident.

That is a good thing. I thought about getting a dash camera but I never did. But now, people will film you for doing anything. Taking a whiz. Taking a dump on a Police car. Getting the tar beat out of you. Your vehicle getting hit by a freight train. Or just walking down the street. You name it and do it. They will film it. And why not? It gives them something to do.

“The truck’s driver, Mohamed Yousif eventually stopped so that the Honda could be freed, and it is believed that nobody was injured in the incident.”

Maybe she will look before she changes lanes next time.

I was on the 14 and traffic was moving at 60 in the #2 lane, the Carpool and #1 lane were stop and go every mile or so, we weren’t. Some young kid doing about 80 in the carpool lane decided to ricochet around me to get in the slow lane and pass everyone, he never even saw the Low Boy with an Earth Mover going 5 miles an hour!!. Turned his little golf cart into a smoldering clump of steel in less than a second and he did it right in front of me, I laughed uncontrollably and so was the Truck Driver who Did NOT Stop for a few miles when he got to the top of the hill.

As I explained to a guy years ago while videoing him while his car stereo was REALLY LOUD and he told me to stop filming him: you have zero expectation of privacy when in a public area...and lets call the cops so they can verify that for you (which they will). Don’t want to be recorded? Stay at home.

Well, with 80% of the pop either unemployed or “passing through” what does one expect but for the roadways to be jammed. Listening to Ingraham the other day I was acquainted with the news that most of DC is still not back in their offices. TWO YEARS! IOW, they are “working from home” which probably means doing nothing but at home and bored. So, they hit the roadways I guess.

It's a nice trick to "drive around" to box stores on $4 a gallon gas and no income. I agree probably part of it.

I am going with the unfettered invasion for decades being the problem.

No, if he had looked at the mirror he would have seen the car. Usually you only get blind spots in a big rig when the tractor is in a different orientation than the trailer rather than inline like this. Such as making turns in intersections.
