    To all complaining about the Fire Department being too slow. It was only 32 seconds from the time the fire truck stopped till they were spraying water, it takes time to get the truck ready to pump water, it’s not like turning on a faucet. I think that’s pretty good, when people get in a hurry mistakes are made and accidents happen.

    The Uhaul's tire tracks through the grass are straight and undisturbed. With no corrective action taken by braking or steering I'd guess the driver fell asleep, veered off the highway and hit the barrier. The passenger was likely asleep as well. Very sad. Great job by all the first responders and bystanders.

In another video I saw a case of one young girl 24 years IIRC who on her or her boy-friend's birthday they went bungee-jumping, and they staff put the harness on both of them, but connected only the bungee-rope to her boyfriend. As he was told to "jump" he was secure, while she jumped too. Later the coroner found out that her death was caused by one heart-attack, if that story is to believed.

      wasn't a blown tire you can tell that by the markings in the grass, it almost seemed as though the driver fell asleep (medical emergency as well). I doubt that as the passenger would have assisted with controlling the vehicle. Judging by the path I would say that the driver noticed he or she was on the wrong path and crossed the grass in an attempt to get where they needed to go, but being on grass did not have the control needed and hit that support pillar. This is what causes thousands of accidents daily is because drivers are impatient, it is possible to find a turn around point later on but people especially Americans cannot be bothered with discomfort or taking more time to be safe, you guys would rather kill yourselves and others to save 20 seconds.

      The old logic was “we built you a good road it’s your job to stay on it”. And if you depart the pavement qui sera sera. I’m not saying that it was right I am saying that it happened. As a highway engineer every time we think that we idiot proofed something we find a more complete idiot.
      And I have been at crash scenes where vehicles have tripled the clear zone. The idea is that once you depart the paved surface your velocity will rapidly decrease due to the effects of the sod or spinning and tumbling probably a combination of all factors.

      Well to start the vehicle, a U-Haul in the case was driving down the highway which happened to be in Arkansas. Based on the video the driver either may have experienced a medical issue or may have fallen asleep. When that happens the vehicle is not being controlled and started to drift out of the lane of travel. Based on the tire tracks visible in the video it appears but not known for sure there was no correction attempts to gain control of the vehicle. So the vehicle drove into the pillar probably at highway speeds resulting in the driver being killed as well as the passenger and their dog. Hopefully the driver was unconscious and did not have to suffer the pain of being pinned inside a burning vehicle. Sounds like the passenger was semi conscious and in pain from the audio picked up by the officers dash cam. Hopefully he did not suffer that much. Unknown if the dog was inside the vehicle or ejected/ pulled out from the vehicle like the passenger was by good samaritans. Either way very sad all around. Rip
