- Just before midnight, Conroe Police were sent to a wrong-way driver fatal crash on I-45 just south of FM 1097. They spent most of the night working the crash. The road was close to being reopened when at 5:13 am a Ford SUV traveling southbound at close to 80 miles per hour struck the rear of an 18-wheeler stopped with his flashers on in the backup of the first crash just north of FM 1097. The SUV then struck another 18-wheeler. Two victims were pinned in the wreckage and a third female victim was ejected under the 18-wheeler. North Montgomery County Fire Department cut the male driver out. He was transported to CHI Conroe in critical condition. His female passenger was deceased as was the female ejected. Willis Police were assisted by DPS in working the crash. NMCFD spent over an hour freeing the female victims from the twisted metal. Inside the vehicle, they also found a deceased black lab. Montgomery County Justice of the Peace Wayne Mack responded to the scene for the inquest and ordered Eickenhorst Funeral Directors to transport the victims to the Montgomery County Forensic Center for autopsy. The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office Vehicular Crimes Unit responded to the scene to assist in filing possible charges on the driver. None of the three had identification.
To all those with condolence, thank you. My Aunt was in that front passenger seat and the Bible was hers. To the others who are commentators on her death- state patrol said it was foggy and he wouldn't have seen the flashers. Should he have been speeding, no; I'm sure there are many who do, have, and will continue to.
I never understood the trauma of one of these videos until now. And always wondered why people would rant about taking them down...now I know.
RIP Aunt Chris and knowing the status of the driver may the Lord ease your pain mentally, physically, and emotionally.
So sorry for your loss, may God give you peace and comfort in this dire tragedy.
I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family during this tragedy.
Based on this tragedy I wish the truck flashers could be much brighter for fog.
My heart is broken for your family. I am so sorry for your/their loss. I own a trucking company and will add additional flashing lights to the rear of our trucks for when they are stopped. The Bible is the only comfort. God bless your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss! Praying for you and your family! 😢🙏🏽♥️
You couldn’t pay me enough to be a first responder and come up on the aftermath and see the fatalities. I got to give huge props to the men and women who do this. So, so sad, especially during the holidays. Please drive safe people. 😢
I used to take fatality accident photos. We have yo document everything, including the bodies, as found. It all aids in the investigation. I still have nightmares.
These heroes are the same people mash potato head is forcing to be fired for not getting vaccinated. Lets go Brandon!
So true! Blessings to all who have a part in the aftermath 🙏🏾💪🏾
@@Mike-qk9ys Exactly 👌🏼
As a VOLUNTEER FF/EMT I’ve been to a fatal with almost exactly the same outcome Fatal ford sedan vs TT. It’s distressing to sometimes think about but at the same time someones got to do the job!
As a truck driver people just fly down the road with no regard. One second I'll look in my mirrors and see nobody for miles the next second I'm like where the hell did you come from. No signals, no respect for the amount of time you can stop. Their convince is your inconvenience.
Sad people have to learn the laws of physics the hard way .
I see semis flying down the road with no regard as well.

@@htownandre7385 so if I'm doing the does limit....speed to get away? I think you are proving my comment
@@iamtheoffenderofall your not doing the speed limit, your just talking for arguments sake
I Felt this in the Pit of my stomach, I have watched a lot of these and they’ve certainly changed the way I drive, I wish more people would watch and learn. Seeing the wreath the Bible & stroller, and so near to Christmas 😞 my Heart truly goes out to all involved, RIP the 2 lady’s and family pet 🕯🕯🕯🕊🕊🕊 my sincere condolences to all their Family & Friends.

@@MSFTServer read the article. the previous accident was the wrong-way driver. This accident happened hours later during the clean-up of said wrongway accident.
God Bless first responders , the awful things they have to see are what nightmares are made of . Thank you for your service .
When you respond, you go through your progressions and do what you were trained to do. It is those moments when you're just trying to sleep..........that is a challenge. You see and smell things..............and later remember.
Enough said
Could not agree more.
Amen 🙏 I can't imagine the horrors they see everyday & go home to their family & try to maintain a normal life
@@zcsandman_1969 Thank you for being amazing. 💜
thank you for your service i can't even imagine 🙁
What a tragedy. As a father this breaks my heart. A bible open on the freeway. A stroller. The poor truck driver. He is a victim in a big way. Speeding in the fog. A lesson for all of us listening.
Amendment in 2023: I am much less willing to drive in inclement weather, I drive the speed limit almost everywhere. I’m the 70 year old guy that irritated me 40 years ago. The words “what’s your hurry ?” are so much more powerful.
Everyone on scene will live with that nightmare likely for the rest of their lives.
Was a walker. Either way, ugly. The last photo sums it up.
@@DrQuagmire been on a few bad wrecks, a few DOA and some that were alive but you knew shouldn’t and wouldn’t be. And your right, it will stay with them the rest of their lives. Dying words, agonizing screams, begging for help that can’t be given. Trying to piece it all together is the hardest job, clean up is a few hours, the investigators live that case for days think about it while they eat. Kids and pets stick the worst because they were truly innocent had no say in it, trusted someone who failed them.
Speeding in fog...
What is the speed limit here, 70mph? Even if he head been going 50mph, the outcome would probably have been the same, there's not buffer zone on the back of the 18-wheeler, the SUV and its occupants absorbed the entire impact.
As a retired truck driver, my heart goes out to the 2 truck drivers. They will never be the same. Why in the hell would someone drive 80mph in town. A sad deal all around.
A lot of highways in Texas are 70-75mph, going 80 is not really speeding. What’s worse than going 5 over in Texas is going 5 under because then it starts causing accidents and traffic
@@mohammadmalik317 But they are not that in city limits...more like 65. Clearly this fool wasnt paying attention
80 mph? You are short people are driving 90mph and more that’s fucking insane they don’t respect nobody and where’s the police? Where’s CCTV? Every single accident in Houston is fatal 🤦🏻♂️😡
That speed was about right, majority of texas highways are 75. And a few toll roads were 80 for a while also. Usually its people not using defensive driving skills or paying enough attention to large trucks on highways enough and riding along beside them or coming up on them too fast.
as someone else pointed out, When you are not looking at an analog speedometer straight on it's going to give you a false reading. The condition is called parallax. My guess is they were going closer to 70 miles an hour. But still that speed into a stationary 50000 pound object is going to give you the same results.
The problem being, is that Driver's Ed is no longer taught in schools anymore! I was in High School in 1967 and had Driver's Ed to teach me how to drive and all that's involved, plus viewing the scenes of horrific accidents and how to prevent them! I'm 70 years old and have never been in an accident, or have had a ticket of which I'm proud of! When driving, I always think of what was learned in that class!
Children aren’t taught to think anymore in government schools according to Thomas Sowell.
This computer generation is brain dead, can't think on their own, need the Internet for everything. And their children will be worst than they are, slaves to the Internet.
Lee, I bet you get absolutely no credit either from your insurance carrier for your good behavior. Your insurance premium should be ZERO with full coverage with all the money and anguish you saved over the years keeping the public safe with your stellar performance out on the roadways. I'm in the same boat but you've got 10 years on me. Nice work my friend
My youngest daughter had to watch them with their parents too, her teacher was a former county deputy and she put the fear of Barb the cop in them
Red asphalt…..my drivers Ed teacher made us watch hours of fatal accidents. I was traumatized in a good way 😅, knowing my life and others lives are in my hands behind the wheel keeps me alert and extra careful 🙏
My heart just kept sinking deeper and deeper as this video went on. Not only the human fatalities, but also "the family pet". When I saw the Christmas wreath it brought to mind they might have just been out Christmas shopping. Then to see the stroller all mangled. Then to see the spedometer stuck on 80'ish. This is just horrible.
Also appears to be a bible.have to wonder what pages its opened to.
Not a stroller. It's a rollator walker that has a seat.
That was not a stroller the driver had 2 prosthetic leg and used the wheel chair (not sure the full name for it)
Speed kills!
@@vivians9392 ... NO IT DOESN'T...It's the sudden STOPPING after hitting something that kills. All your internal organs keep going forward and rips arteries out of the heart, smashes all organs into ribs and air bags. Bones being broken, i.e. ribs, neck and back (spine) etc.. that's what kills...
RIP and condolences. Drivers, pay attention! It only takes a second. And the shots of the Christmas wreath, bible and stroller. Breaks you heart.
That is not a stroller although it looks like one. It's a newer design of a rollator walker, a walker with a seat. That big grey strap goes against the elderly person's back when he/she sits down. The first one I saw was called a "Nitro."
@@barbrn that rollator Walker did not belong to an elderly person. The person who used it was only about 55 (which isn't too old when you think about it) the driver had 2 prosthetic legs and had to use a Rollerator Walker.
@@unicornloverpcg5470 Well, they didn't give the ages of the occupants in this video. In another comment, I said that an elderly person or person who has trouble walking uses it. It's called a rollator, not "Rollerator" walker. My mother used one in her assisted living facility as did many residents.
@@barbrn Ahh, thanks for the clarification.
The shot of the bible lets us know that God and his word are extremely important...know matter where you go, may God be with all that believe, always.
I was one of the only 2 people out of around 30 ot 40 people who witnessed this that actually stopped to tryyy and help, to everyone thinking he was on the phone or on drugs, I don't think he was..he was an elderly gentleman, even had a prosthetic leg..he was the car ahead of me and I truly think he just wasn't paying attention and when he realized he was up on the car in front of him he jerked the wheel to the right and hit the 18 wheeler. Truly horrible moment to witness and for him and the two poor women with him, I can't imagine.
Wow what a tragedy.. it all must’ve happened so quick. Rip
Ah he over reacted instead of slowing down.
Prayers for you as well. Witnessing a crash like this is horrific. Thank you for doing what you could to help.
According to another person, he had two prosthetic legs, which is why he had a Rollator walker too. Is it legal to not stop and help when an accident has happened? Where I am (overseas) you are obligated to stop and help! Horrible that so many didn’t bother to stop!
he survived im guessing
It was a man driving with his girlfriend and had her sister with them. The dog was a service dog. Makes me so sad.
Prayers for everyone!
Thay are not sisters thay are friends. The woman in the back with a service dog was the driver's girlfriend. The woman in the front seat was my mom. Edit- the one in the front seat was not mom. It was a rough night for me last night so I got the information mixed up a little bit the front passenger was the girlfriend and the back passenger was my mom.
@Bob Davidson not to sound rude but it's common for people into Texas to drive crazy most speed limits down there are like 70-75 and a lot of time people go way above that speed limit.
@Bob Davidson yes, some places actually have a speed limit of 80mph.

Thank you Mary...their death must have been instantly...and whatever faith they have..angels still come get them...
And nobody seems to have noticed the Animal Control vehicle that was there, I assume, to pick up the body of the dog since animals cannot be carried in ambulances. While I absolutely hate dogs I hope this poor creature's death was quick and that it did not just have to lie there and suffer.
People need to slow down and pay attention. This was 100% avoidable
Boy what u talking about speed don’t kill bad drivers do
Thanks for stating the obvious Bill, you should get a prize and maybe become a detective.
It’s Texas. Don’t care about anything other than themselves and the precious guns. No brains to speak of
@@JohnSmith-qp4bt Its a bad way to make an Expedition Off Road a convertible SUV ! RIP
Bill you are 150% correct. Im guilty and my boss is too but i hope we can stop it
I’ve been a lucky 20 year truck driver! I can’t imagine what the trucker’s will deal with in the foreseeable future? Slow down America! Be safe this Holiday Season!
If he ain’t at fault he ain’t got nothing to worry about.
Thank you. Not a lot of truckers get appreciation. My dad is a trucker now for almost 40 years and he has seen it all. Never been in anything like this thank god.
A lot of bad truckers on the road as well.
Well in all my years driving that's why to sure of safety out there I mainly stay home but sometimes I need get out, you know and even then I keep my guard up at nearly at all times. I've been blessed to live this long.
That also goes both ways, some truck drivers out there need to slow down and dont just come on over because you have on your flashers.
Give this man some credit. Pulled the camera down any time someone was in angle with there face. Good for you man.
This is a legal requirement. If you want to video anyone and then broadcast it to others, you’d better have permission to do so, or blur them out. If you don’t intend to distribute, then filming is legal in a public space. One has no reasonable expectation of privacy.
There is some facial requirements. However…being deceased, they can’t sue you for it. Mostly just important to do it here on YT cause of the massive audience. I see raw news feeds all the time and trust me, they film everything. Not about getting the face for the media side but often (at least the few times I have done this recording) investigators, insurance copies ask for access because many jurisdictions only take minimal photos. More than once my video helped whereas the investigators photos were (not intentionally) misleading.

@@weatherwarriormedia3166 are you saying you can see a face / body here? He does a good job if not showing that.. As an ICU nurse,I've seen death..BUT NOT LIKE this.
Slow down.Be late, Give us nothing to watch . 🙏🏻.I drove home from my Daughters National competition in Orlando yesterday. RE ROUTED d/t closed TURNPIKE..took us forever, but we got home.The baby is the accident didn't. PLEASE,PPL, BE SAFE, BE KIND..understand that many of us do not travel long distance regularly, and are scared s#it on the highways...too slow is just as bad as too fast..give us a SECOND, we will get over,doing 75..so you can FLY BY in the rain.
@@muhfuggus that makes a lot of sense. Tbh I figured he was doing his best to be respectful of anyone involved or family that might have shown up to the scene.
I’m a truck driver in Texas I use 45 all the time and 105 and 249 I can tell you y’all be on your phones so much it’s unbelievable worse then any state I’ve been too by far Texas is the worse
that is so true. not to mention all the red light running. This is is crazy here around houston. Phone and Red light runners
Come up to dallass, and you'll really have something to kvetch about
Maryland is TERRIBLE for texting drivers...
Is Texas a hands free state? Meaning you have nothing in your hands but the steering wheel? If not, maybe itd be a good idear ti implement that
Truck driver as well Texas “Dallas” is the worst by all means runner up Pennsylvania
People are in too big of a damn hurry & don’t pay attention
The hurrier I go, the more behinder I get.
better be late then never get there at all
I love when people pass me and we end up sitting at the same red light side by side, I just 😁.
@@eringemini7091 Once I was driving on the turnpike and somebody flew past me and must have continued speeding because 20-30 mins later they were on the side of the road with a cop. The traffic stop got done as I was going past and look at that same place as I was doing the speed limit. After about 2 minutes he went right back to speeding though. Kind of insane for someone who either just got a ticket or a warning.
Didn't these people see traffic slowing down because of the previous accident ahead of them?
God bless their souls. No one should ever have to die by the side of the road. I remember several year ago a couple crashes on slippery roads Christmas Eve. We were dispatched to the crash. The car was torn to pieces and wrapped presents everywhere on the road. The couple and their dog died probably instatally. That scene I often think of around this time of year. Please be safe!
My dad died by semi on the side of I40 in Arkansas. My husband drives a semi. His truck burned to the ground on the side of the road in Nebraska. Two women saved him.
@@AmyBethB I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. I used to work with my husband who was a truck dispatcher. When the drivers came in to drop-off their paperwork, they’d tell stories of close calls and how people would pull in front of them at stop lights. They have a dangerous, pretty much thankless job. I-40 in Arkansas is a nightmare for truckers; it really should be an eight-lane interstate, then more good men, like your dad, wouldn’t lose their lives. I’m thankful your husband got out alive. Semi-trucks, all made of resin-coated fiberglass, burn fast and hot. God Bless You and Your Family.
@@denisek292 TY. Such a kind heart you have.
As a ex Sima driver I'll feel extremely blessed to have driven Incredible amount of miles over the years and never once get into a horrible accident It's rough out here people just don't respect speed I can't even count The Times I've looked over and saw somebody driving with a phone in There hand on the highway or on the regular street
I think people who are caught driving while on the Phone should get an instant 12 Month Ban, And their Vehicle is Immediately impounded, it’s as Bad as Drink Driving, and I Hate It 😞 I’m glad you haven’t been involved in any accidents and if you haven’t yet Retired I hope it remains that way, I couldn’t imagine getting out of a Lorry and seeing anything like that, Life would never be the same again. Keep driving safe, I wish you well x ( I’ve just read your an ex semi driver sorry)
@@geminiwaywardbound1229 id argue that its worse than drinking and driving.
At least they are kind of trying to look at the road, meanwhile texters aren't paying ANY attention at all.
I'm not excusing drinking though, I've had people close to my family pass away because of it and hate it.
My brother drove for many years as well, praise God he was never in an accident; but he seen several. I was traveling coming from Kentucky to Florida I seen so many on their phones one lady was speeding with the cell phone in her right hand and the left hand barley on the wheel.
Get caught using cellphone without handsfree or texting as a CDL driver and the fine it's ,

Doing 80mph in the fog, what could go wrong?
No kidding!!!!
Damn! Condolences to family. Poor dog. Not sure how you don’t see flashing lights ahead and that you’re getting closer and should slow down.

@@lionheart4529 Roads are scarier than COVID. I've seen wrong way drivers and had to avoid them.
am i missing something? how did he rear end the rig if he was going the wrong way?
I feel bad for the truck drivers too. They get to live with being involved in this crash and the lost of life. It happened behind them therefore there was nothing they could do. Hopefully they can keep that in mind
Right
I was stopped on side of the road once, and saw this car coming towards me at 60 miles an hour... that was nothing I could do, the car was going to end under my trailer with bad ending, I was screaming by myself, it was a 45 miles per hour road... I had emergency lights.
When crashed I went to see how he was, I thought he was going to be death... he was good! Not even a scratch, his air bag didn't even pop up and his car was drivable, however he was shaking, I can only understand that God is good and merciful, we will never understand what God has for everyone!!!
God bless 🙌
The truck driver who my parents van went into the side of the truck, their van had a manufacture malfunction they was killed on impact the highway was closed for hours. one week before xmas the driver use to reach out for a few yrs after he had nightmares said he had a very tough time sleeping.

Speedometer frozen at 80 mph 🙁
That stuck odometer says a lot at the end. Condolences to those impacted by the accident.
Pic was taken at an angle looking in from drivers side! Could be 65 or 80!
@@barrywallace4415 more likely about 70 - 73.
80
Dose not mean a thing...Impact can throw them over before the case blocks them from coming back.
If that was true then I have had my 4 wheeler going 140 MPH (pegged) off roading ....many times
The speedometer pointer is not proof of anything since it could have been jarred into any position by the impact. But the restraint system module could yield "black box" data on the vehicle speed just before impact.
I really appreciate these videos being available, so long as they aren't tasteless. They are a great learning tool for emergency services but also the general public. These terrible things happen but until people see the realities of the road, they will keep happening.

Well people should pay attention when driving, hope the truck driver was ok.
Nah. The truck drivers aren't human. They're just slaves of the highway who must do as they're told. When to start, when to rest, when to stop, when to pick their noses, etc.
Oh, and if they're involved in a fatality wreck, REGARDLESS OF FAULT, they have to take a U.A. (piss test). That is to see if there's some way, ANY way, that law-yers can pin fault on the slave trucker.

No, I don’t feel bad for the humans because they had choices to make to ensure their safety….and they did not drive in a safe manner at all. And how do you not see a tractor trailer in front of you. No excuses….someone said it was foggy…..another reason to drive safely but, apparently, fog did not warrant caution for the driver who plowed into that trailer at about 70mph and you think I should have compassion for people like that who have a total disregard for safety. That poor dog was placed into that death machine and forced to endure a horrific crash.
For those who don't know what FM1097 means" Farm Market" Road. Connects farms to main roads.
Tomorrow's are NOT guaranteed folks, pay attention to what your doing and slow down.
Sad. Please people, stay clear of trucks. Don't assume your vehicle will "win" in a bad situation with truck. Just back off and proceed cautiously. So sorry for the families.
That is heartbreaking and to be right near the holidays makes it even more depressing. Rest In Peace and prayers to the family and friends that had to experience this lost of life. I’m such in awe at how that big Ford Expedition folded up like that. Wow. 😢😢😢
Prayers for the families, I pray for my kids and grandchildren every time they get in a vehicle...
me to.. i only have 1 daughter and 1 granddaughter
Sounds like you suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Just get em to stay off the interstate. 80% less chance of any crashes being fatal. Its why they keep drivers with under 2 years driving experience off any major highways. Ive always believed when its your time, its your time. Hug your family love your family but dont drive yourself anxious over things that arent under your control
@@hazysativa3045 I do and I do suffer from that, praying is the only thing that gives me comfort.
prayers and about $2 will buy a cup of coffee maybe, that's about it
Thank you to first responders.. you are all true heroes! ❤️
The laughter is a coping mechanism. They pull dead bodies all day. The have to remain sane somehow.
thank you mr filmer for respecting the space of the workers, and potentially those who died that couldve been caught on film as they worked to get the roof off of the car.
i've seen crash photos. bodies are unrecognizable. i hope first responders get easy access to mental health services
In the Army they showed us the highway patrol uncensored films ( the 60s) and these were very very graphic.in order to make us conscious of every decision we made while driving. We were licensed for everything from armoured personnel carriers to ¼ ton jeeps.
I’ve always felt that people should be exposed to the graphic realities of the world. On one hand, I do want to be sensitive to the victims and their families, but on the other, I think the best way to honor them is to prevent future accidents by making people aware. If people knew how graphic death can really be, they wouldn’t do the stupid things that they do. The news is heavily censored.
Poor pupper was just along for the ride when his human got distracted while driving. 😢💔🐾🐾💔😢
The speedometer clip was so deep. To think something can end so fast and here a object locked in that moment. My condolences
May the Lord comfort all the families that lost love ones in this horrific accident. And also all the personal who assisted in recovery.
Nice to see truck driver was not at fault here. Even put his four ways on while sitting in traffic waiting
How you don't see two stopped trucks in front of you is beyond me.
Easy.....looking at facebook and taking selfies
I drive these roads 40k a year....insane the stuff I see people doing
Nice boat yo!!!!!!
It was heavy fog
Back in the late 90s a friend had a wrecker service near Katy. He had 6 small trucks and 2 big rigs. He would call me every soften to run one of the big rigs.
On night he called me.
A Toyota Camry had gone east on the west bound side of I 10
It hit 1 rig, bounced off of it and was hit by another. Then some how got thrown under the trailer of another.
Now what is strange is the hatch window of the car did not break. ...However that was the only thing that was in one piece not bent
The small trucks pulled the car out in 3 big pieces and a bunch of scrap all over the place. We had to lift the trailer to get the car out even then.
The first rig had to be towed, the 2nd rig we pulled the bumper out so he could go, and the 3rd had to be towed (air line were torn up)
We had to get some bleach and a hose after the car pieces 2 days later for all the flies.
At 80MPH they never stood a chance in a vehicle designed without a safety Cell. Such design tech has been made freely available by Daimler Benz since the 1960's.
I'm a driver and see this on a regular.. if people just stayed in one travel lane and kept a constant speed there would be a lot less of this and take driving more seriously . I see very aggressive drivers of all kinds . Very sad.
People not giving cars enough room when they switch lanes, also.
I thought traffic was stopped and this driver just didn't stop. 530 am and its dark driver prob had cruise on and the trucks may have been stop or just rolling at 10 mph who knows just my guess
Average drivers not understanding that they are clogging traffic and creating danger too. Can't tell you how many times I've seen 11 cars driving relatively the same slow speed with 5 feet distance from themselves they look like a small school of fish. It only takes one driver to mess up or one offensive driver who hates the lack of awareness to cause a vicious collision. You should keep distance from other cars while driving your chances of collisions will decrease.
@@figarofigaro3429 Yea absolutely. GF doesn't understand sometimes why I speed up and pass a chunk of cars that are like that. Im making room for myself so we don't die lol.
Damn... That's absolutely horrible.Their poor families are going to be devastated I'm sure. This is one of the worst accidents I've ever seen. I can't even imagine how those fire and rescue crews have to do to get bodies out of a wreckage that bad, having to see so many horrible things. I just want to give my deepest sympathy and condolences to the families... I am so sorry for their loss...
That last shot of the speedometer at 80 says alot about this story. People need to go and educate themselves wih crash test videos...have a look at what happens to a car with 25mph hit...then think.. If that happens at 25mph...what it does going 80. None the less.. Prayers to the families and rig drivers.
That camera angle makes the speedometer look a lot higher. Many people have commented on this, all erroneously, but at that angle the exact positioning of the needle is visually wrong.
I used to be on the rescue squad when I first turned 18 now at 32 and doing maintenance for a living you never forget what you have seen RIP to those who are gone 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
damn. havent watched one of these videos in a while - i check in on this channel from time to time to help me remember that life is precious and that i'm lucky and grateful to have been driving for 15 years and never been involved in this type of accident. RIP and condolences to the family and the black lab.
I have been watching these videos, and at first it made me want to be more vigilante, but now it makes me not even want to drive anymore. There is someone alive right now that is going to either die in an accident or cause an accident that someone dies in...
In Australia, we would have had electronic (overhead) signals reducing the speed limit to 40 kph (25 mph) some 3 or 4 miles before the first crash. This change in speed limit would have occurred within minutes of the first crash and probably would have saved lives.
we get stupid messages & traffic time
Honestly, people are so selfish and self centered these days, I doubt they would slow down.
My husband is Australian and I’ve also driven over there .. you guys drive much safer then we do here in the US.. My husband was pretty baffled with how fast people drive and the craziness lol I admit I was nervous to ride with him at first cause Not only did he have to learn how to drive on the other side of the road he had to learn very quickly to be a defensive driver
I went to Australia in the good old days and had to learn to drive on the wrong side of the road and car!!! I felt like I couldn't keep the car within my lines. And one time I was making a left turn and realized when I saw cars coming at me that I wasn't in America anymore. Fortunately I gunned it into an empty parking lot across the street and almost passed out! Glad it was there!
We have the same thing here in NW Washington and Seattle proper.
People are driving too close to each other at very high rates of speed. I see it when going on the truck with my husband and in my POV. I stay in the right lane and stay back.
As a former CDL driver, my. heart goes out to that Crete Carrier driver.
You 4 wheeler drivers need to remember that you are mice dancing with elephants and drive accordingly.
That Crete driver was just doing his/her job and consequent to this incident, he/she will be forever changed.
The egregious driving of the male driver killed two women. Vehicle manslaughter?
Condolences to their family and friends.
Oh cmon..get a life! They said he was an elderly gentleman with a prosthetic leg for God's sake. Were you there? Did you see it happen? Let the authorities handle any legal or criminal aspects if there are any and shut your trap! People like you who make comments like you just did make me sick to my stomach.
Well said j. luis. Don’t know why people post such nasty stuff on a video like this.
I feel so sorry for the Animal and the Passengers.
The passengers and the animal you mean 😏
@@selfintrest332 I got it right the first time. That Dear Animal did not have a choice. The passengers had a choice and probably knew the driver was a Moron. I guess I feel bad for their poor decisions.
Life is very precious folks, one moment you can be enjoying life and the next moment your dead.
Always pay attention when driving and stay safe.
Sending prayers to the people involved and their families. So tragic, especially this time of year. 🙏🏻
We are living in 2021. Our means of transport are of a high technical standard and 99% of the time they are not the cause of accidents. If you always have to think one step ahead with your thoughts, if you are under time pressure and distracted, then accidents happen. Never drive under time pressure and just concentrate on driving, nothing else. And don't forget TTT. Truck Tree Train will always win, even if you drive the safest car. 👨🚒👨🚒👨🚒
You that right, that includes cutting off semi's and heavy trucks. They take longer to stop so that's why they leave a big gap in front of them, it's not so you can cut them off and slam on your brakes.
Just yesterday, so sad. Prayers for the living family and friends.
Everybody please always leave the house early so you can take your time driving. When I’m on the road other drivers have yelled at me, call me the n-word, flip me off.. I let them fly by me so the cops can get them. We must care about other people life’s , respect one another. I stay at five miles over the speed limit, and following how I was taught to drive. It’s sad.
The things law enforcement and first responders have to see with their own eyes. Then carry those images with them when they go home, some to their own families. The only upside l can imagine is how well they must feel when they are able to save the lives of those they have saved. Thank you to all first responders, law enforcement, fire fighters & rescue teams and ambulance paramedics. Thank you for what you do and God Bless all of you.
What does it take for people to realize SPEED KILLS, SLOW DOWN!
Those highly regarded "5 star" crash ratings at 35 MPH dont seem so impressive after seeing this. May God give those involved eternal peace.
@Paul Saver watch some test crashes at 35 MPH. Vehicles and occupants do not do well. Anything over that especially, 80 MPH, it is not going to end well. So sad.
You are truly talented at what you do... your video literally tells a story.
damn, right before xmas, my condolences to the family, xmas will never be the same 🥺
In 2002 I lost my aunt due to a drunk driver on December 8th.. Since then Xmas has never been the same. It's hard to describe the emptiness that it leaves behind.
@@AFellowDoktuh I totally understand, I've lost loved ones who were the party during the holidays and it's never been the same since, It's never a good time when u lose someone but when it happens during the xmas holidays or thanksgiving it just makes it worse, it hits hard every year.
Several years ago I came up on a scene at an major crossroads where a jackass drunk driver ran a red light and t-boned a van with people on their way to a family Christmas get-together. There were Christmas presents scattered everywhere. Luckily the family was okay, just really shaken up. I was afraid for the kids as it's hard to keep them still when they are excited. Both the drunk and his passenger were thoroughly blitzed and were headed to a liquor store to buy more! This kind of person should be put in jail forever and never allowed outside to breathe fresh air again! Our laws and wimpy court system are far too lenient on drunk drivers.
@@richardcline1337 I totally agree, the guy who killed my aunt was sentenced to 8 years in prison but due to "time served" and "good behavior" he was released two years later... he had a rap sheet that was several pages long... this court system is the worst.
Man this is so sad prayers for the families in a hurry to get no we're
Rest in peace prayers for the family
I was coming into Dallas on Tuesday and came across an accident that had just happened. I'm not sure what happened but the guy was ejected and was laying in the grass bleeding from his head. I wanted to stop but I had my kids in the car. It was horrific. He was conscious but idk if he made it. Something I don't want to see again. I noticed the bad drivers right away. I'm from Ohio.
The guy/driver wasn't ejected. I read the full article on another site
@@JoeinWashDC I'm talking about another accident
The dog though 😭😭.
I am a commuter in this area every morning. It was highly traumatic to witness the scene.
Get over it
@@crappyatlife read the room 😐
Terribly traumatic. You have a good heart, that’s why it hurts. Ignore the haters who don’t have one.
@@jonathanking6546 cool story bro
I was in that area with my husband in his 18 wheeler on a 2 Lane highway. It was morning. The sun was shining. We were heading north. A flatbed loaded with lumber headed south. We passed him. He was waiting to turn left. As we passed him our windshield was covered suddenly in wood in pieces. A lady in a car did not see the truck stopped to turn left. The sun in her eyes. She slammed right into the back of the flatbed. Full speed. It haunted me for awhile. I will never forget the sound and how very fast it happened. It is just that fast.
The road should have been closed off by emergency responders with lots of flashing lights and vehicles should have been detoured off the highway way before the wreck. No vehicles should have been allowed to sit on the highway without warning for oncoming traffic. Pure negligence by the authorities.
It was dark and foggy. Use common sense.
@@henrycodm896 Even more reason for the driver to use common sense...80 mph when it is dark and foggy is not driving to the road conditions.
@@cdpgbc-mw2kz It's an interstate, in Texas, where if you go slow you are in serious danger of death from being run off the road. Use common sense.
@@henrycodm896 Who cares if it is an interstate. Fog, poor visibility and 80 mph is a recipe for disaster. Drive to the conditions. Your argument is ridiculous.
My heart cries out to God for these people may all of them rest in his arms
Good didn’t care about these people. Look what he had in store for them….just watch the video and you’ll see gods wonderful work. Isn’t it beautiful what god allows to happen to people. Keep the faith and you too can smash into the rear of a tractor trailer too some day….and as the trailer takes your head off just remember that god is on your side.
@@penelopelopez8296 not true. No one is ever alone. The other side knows everything. There Are people on the other side that help them pass over. Accidents happen. Not all of them can be prevented.
What has happened to respect for the road, this is a true example of what we become .
That is so sad. Praying for all involved.
Prayers going to the first responders who have to stay on scene, cleanup and tell the loved ones about their family members who won’t be coming home. Merry Christmas. 💙
Please drive safely, if you feel tired don't drive, stay alert on the road. There are a lot more cars now aday.
Omg this is just terrible I can't imagine going through this I hope the guy makes a full recovery and I feel sorry for him losing his wife and the dog
How horribly tragic. Speed, inattention, distraction or being tired at that time in the morning could all have been contributing factors. Odd no one had identification.
My thoughts exactly
My sincere condolences to the families impacted by this tragedy. God Bless.
So many families lives were changed in an instant. It breaks my heart when I hear that an animal is involved in any tragedy.
Pay attention! Slow down! Stop feeling entitled on the road! Stop drinking and driving! Put your phones down! Be patient, everyone wants to get home safe! I drive for a living
and also don'[t drive the wrong way on the interstate
