Really? Wow! I get to see people die? I’m heading right over!
/s
The person that died was a bus driver that had a heart attack. He is not on this video, he was behind the camera. He didn't cause any accident, but had a heart attack after the accident--or so it is reported.
This morning on I-65 I was cruising along at 75 where there were five lanes. Meanwhile, the far right lane was exiting to the Gene Snyder and a car in the lane next to it wanted in. There were no backups and there were lots of gaps between cars - and the exit was still at least a quarter mile away.
Well, this car came to a complete stop!
You know that scene in the first Cars movie where lightning McQueen navigates his way through the huge pileup on the track? That was me this morning. However, none of the cars actually touched this morning. But they were swerving all over the place, in and out of lanes. Fortunately traffic was light for rush hour.
But I wanted to go back to that car and ram them as far off the road as possible. They should not have a license.
The big rig at 3:46 does an AMAZING job of avoiding the mess. The one right behind him at 3:49 almost as good but I think he clipped a couple of cars.
I can’t believe how fast some of them were going in those conditions. Wowsa.
I thought the smart ones headed for the tall grass beyond the emergency lane but then came the semis barreling right through. Some of the vehicles didn’t even appear to brake at all.
I’m old enough to remember when we used SALT on the roads to prevent this crap. But then that was before the Left took over.
OK, quick question for anyone that may know.
Do truckers not use the CB radio anymore?
I can’t understand how the first truck involved wouldn’t be broadcasting loud & clear telling others to slow down. Or what about the trucks passing the opposite direction? Can they not get on the CB & warn the other truckers?
Seems like if a couple trucks a mile or so back, slowed down, put on their hazards & impeded the flow of traffic, the amount of vehicles involved would be greatly reduced.
Watch and learn.
It's a testament to the structural integrity of today's vehicles that nobody was killed with the exception of the individual who had the heart attack.....
"...multi-vehicle pile-up..."
I was in the 117 car pile up on 1-95 South in VA and this brings back some scary memories. The truck drivers simply drive way too fast.
Whoa. There were some lucky people, and some not-so-lucky people...and some real idiots.
My takeaway from this is that it is just better to banzai into the ditch. Better to get an intact vehicle towed out of the ditch than a smashed vehicle on the freeway.
Curling with cars.
