hmmm, suddenly pulling to the right a little. Psh, I guess I'll have to have that checked next time I'm back at the terminal. heh
And the a-hole kept on filming rather than speeding up in front of the truck to signal him to stop.
Just wow. I grew up when Truck drivers were the best. I’m afraid of the new crop

Driver desperately waves for help as a semi-truck dragged her car sideways along a Chicago highway

It takes a bit for the semi driver to notice and stop on the freeway.
Yes , the semi driver should have noticed sooner. But with that sort of accident, you have to be careful how you stop as well.
Truck driver’s name is Mohammed Yousif (sp?)
Umm, wouldn’t the driver see that in the side mirror or would that be in a blind spot? No sarc...truly asking the question.
I don’t think he was oblivious. While driving on 80/94 in heavy traffic, I was behind a truck and a car with an older woman driving the car. She continually tried to pass the truck on the shoulder. Each time, the truck would drift onto the shoulder to prevent this. Eventually, the woman decides to go for it and the truck moves over crushing the car between the truck and the retaining wall, disabling the car. The truck drove on, as did I.
Still weird that he was unaware.
So what brought this to an end? How far was she dragged... the video ends with her still being dragged....
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.
Super Dave Osborne would be proud
I bet the little bimbo will be more careful around trucks now.
“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.”
Alahwahoo Whackbar!
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.
If the driver had been vaxxed, this never would have happened!
Truck driver here. The cops should be able to figure out which driver drifted into the other. I have an assumption based on what I frequently see happening out there, but we’ll see. I’ll bet you a quarter that the car driver was passing the tractor-trailer on the right.
Blind spot isn’t an issue. That section of the trailer side is visible in the plane and/or spotter mirror.
It makes an exciting headline, but I’m not buying that the truck driver doesn’t know there’s a car under his trailer. Can’t make out the trailer brake lights, but the fact that cars are passing him on both sides shows that he has already slowed down. That mess is taking up two lanes. The obvious three options he has (stopping dead in the center lanes or swerving left or right at any considerable speed) each has a high risk of instantly escalating to carnage...and likely spreading it to other vehicles. He’s watching that mess, slowing down, and having to eyeball what’s ahead and coming up on the sides—including the friggin cell-phone-cameraman-while-driving idiot getting close to nab the perfect footage.
It’ll be interesting to see what the accident investigators piece together.
They are not kidding.
