My dad taught me how to drive a truck and if you’re doing everything correctly you can get downhill without ever touching the brakes. Proper gear, engine brake and patience is all you need.
@@logan8256 then he never should’ve been driving the truck shame on him to get behind the wheel of such a powerful vehicle and not know how to operate it.
Yea, by leaving it in a lower gear, not trying to go from a higher gear to a lower gear. People need to understand when, you have a car or truck without brakes, you do one of several things. Turn the ignition off, then there's slamming into a gear destroying the transmission, and engine, last, is the one thing nobody want's to do is end their life, before I would kill others, I'd take my own life knowing I'd save others. Both my girls were taught the same thing with cars taking off. You'll destroy the vehicles engine and transmission, but if it saves just one more person, it'd be worth dying. I'm in the business of saving people, kep them living until we get them to a higher level of care. I'd love to see the point where his brakes went out to the horrific crash. Many over passes to hit, if he really decided to save people. He could of even used a radio and got a Semi further ahead loadedand used that to slow it down and get it stopped. I don't know if he used the Jake brake or if he could use the emergency brake, but I'd have tried everything before killing people. I'd love to know what others think? Is it possible to do some of these things? Like shutting off the engine? Slamming into a gear and destroying everything?
I honestly would have just ran my own truck off the road & whatever happens to me happens to me, at least I know that I’m not taking anyone out, but myself. Yeah, breaks failed, but I still could’ve just went off the road. If it flips then it flips.

@@Cruz0604 maybe the law will change and require a lengthy time behind the wheel before allowed to go it on your own. Tough occupation an old man told me always remember it's like driving a loaded 45 down the road.
Newbie Truckers! About a 3 years ago I was in a rest area and newbie trucker approached to ask how to go down the grade. It took me 45 minutes to explain to him how to do it. At least I give to him 100 for he did ask and was concern on how to it. Nevertheless, I'm tired of this new crop of truckers. Im packing everything tonight and moving to South America. I'm done driving trucks. On the footage it looks like newbie trucker was smoking his breaks. Probably went down a grade on a high gear and slowing down using the breaks or riding the breaks. Terrible tragedy.
even more sad than the wreck and loss of life here is the absolutely revolting actions of all of the people that pulled over to watch what was happening like it was there afternoon entertainment. not to mention the news anchors that turn my stomach "we were first on the scene and racing towards the scene" and the interviews trying to prompt people to describe the scene and all of what happened for their ratings. You make me sick and I hope that all of the news and media folks that are making ratings and money from this sad situation come to an untimely and painful demise so someone can make money off of that. So glad I left Colorado.
It's a natural human recation, how many accidents have you seen? its common-place for every-single-accident to have bystanders. It's the new's job to report things no matter how happy or sad. You're surprised they reacted so quickly and televised this? But I guess you'd rather have people ignore you if you were in an accident?
I drive a semi truck and coming east bound into Denver on I-70 is tough. Especially if your load is heavy. He probably burned his brakes out coming down that steep hill
He lacked the training and experience. He didn't use the runaway lane. Why ? My heart goes out to the people who lost their lives. This should not have happened.
@@underdog7495 I am old school drove 33 yrs. Check out CSI LIFE.com. to watch the video of this accident. I believe the video says alot. But we shall see. If I am wrong, I will state so. The video shows him passing a runaway ramp. Why?
It was a semi truck with complete brake failure, it managed to go along the shoulder for about a half mile before it hit the bridge supports and ran into the back and side of stopped traffic under the bridge
Impossible. If the brake chambers lose air pressure they will lock up and stop instantly. Even if it was some other problem a driver can just pull the air valve button and bleed out all the air in about 2 seconds. That’s first week trucker school stuff.
Worked of 18 wheelers for 40 years, If they lose air, the brakes automatically apply with a big spring that has 600 lbs. pressure, the air compresses the spring to release the breaks, No air pressure, truck will not move. This man was probably on drugs or trying to get his name in the paper.
@@scrapwire1 someone said the breakes caught fire coming down the big hill right before this. if you slow the video down to .25 and watch it looks like that may be true. also, im not arguing with you.
I learned that if you are going to crash aim for the cheapest and life is priceless this guy had plenty of ditch to go into if his breaks faded inexperience and a 80k pounds down a hill is a dangerous combination and I feel bad for him cause he will have to live with this for the rest of his life, my heart goes out to anyone afected in this terrible tragedy🖤.
From Cuba, no English, maybe why he missed the signs for runaway truck? Maybe he was on the phone? Maybe going to fast for brakes? Maybe he was committing terror? Or let's just call it an accident.
How about we just call it what it was, an inexperienced undertrained driver whos Truck Ran away. Judging by the smoke coming out of this truck on some of the videos that show when he was driving. He burned up his breaks and could not stop.
@@genejeffries2888 One must have a license to drive a truck, one must go to school to learn. He missed 2 chances, instead he decided it best to harm others instead of just himself. If one can't speak or read English, no need for them to be in commerce!
@@maracalzada4128 He couldn't read the signs, his lawyer said so today. The company he worked for has a record for trucks in bad shape, I hope the victims drain them and their insurance companies dry. And the state of CO for allowing that truck on the road to begin with.
That young man should not have been driving that truck. He's inexperienced also the No breaks on the truck. That was a disaster in the first place. Get a good lawyer and prayers to the innocent people that lost their lives. Heartbreaking.
Pink Lady I don't believe his brakes went out for a second. his brakes "failed" as soon as he got to traffic but the whole way down the mountain the brakes were fine? this looks like a tourist attack if I've ever seen one. he deserves to rot in jail.
My son said, that guy had no breaks. He panicked and didn't use the runaway lane for truck. Blame the trucking company and the people who gave him the licence to drive the truck. I hope he gets a good lawyer.
I can't stand people making excuses for this guy. There was testimony at the trial about his erratic driving long before the crash. I'm sure his company didn't train him and just told him to drive and they will pay for that mistake. But you have to take responsibility for your own actions.
Just put yourself into the drivers shoes. He was screaming that this wasn’t happening. I know, I was just n the same situation, however, I survived and nobody got killed.
Theres a livestream of a guy behind the underpass. U can see the semi zoom by that causes the wreck. I forgot the user's name but 170 live crash should pull it up. Some blonde guy in glasses. Dude was driving absolutely recklessly
This is the worst crash I ever seen recorded. I wish this didn't happen, that day and it hurts to know that these kind of tragedy s happen. I don't want Car drivers to be afraid of us, I just like them always be on the lookout. I hope carriers start getting the trucks with the Johnson Bar. That might of helped, if he didn't have one. Many of the new trucks are not equipped with the johnson bar.
I’m sorry for the family of the involved and deaths. But let me say something I don’t see the point of driving either a truck or a personal vehicle if you have an accident to sentence 110 years in prison for people that involved or died. I’m gonna tell you that got me so scared to even driving my own car this is not fair at all a driver don’t deserve to be treated like that . Accident is an accident which can be either mistaken or maybe careless or even reckless like they said , i don’t see you why i have to be paying for something like that . How ever you checking on a vehicle before driving it that can’t stop the accident from happening because that’s the name of it “accident” how can someone killed 4 people in a “accident “ on purpose wow i think this sentence in more reckless then the accident. Is that gonna bring back the people that already gone ? When are they coming back ? This is another crime which is bigger by killing somebody alive by stopping a kid to live without parent buying killing alive a young man like that that’s very bad i wish he have money and a good Lawer to appealing that because he doesn’t deserve that at all . Life is very horrible sometimes you going out to look for food to put on your uour table , to paying your rent and everything you can’t even coming back home probably will never be that’s crazy i wish i was never heard of that 😭😭😭😭
Omg let's think those 4 people was your family. An accident is an accident. But if there is a truck ramp and if he does not use it, it is murder. That's all.
Looking back on it he deserved 25+. He could've taken the ramp, put himself in the ditch, bleed the brakes he decided his own life was more important than others and now he was to pay
A stop-still, they were at a stop-still...funny. Crash isn't, wow. Lost his brakes I bet, poor driver. Must not have had much experience with mountain driving.
How about looking into the ministry of transportation and the person who passed and sighned off- ?? Saying he was fit to drive a tractor trailer, or the company who gave him a fully loaded trailer 80,000 lbs to drive down mountain pass? This kid should not do one minute in jail! ABSOLUTELY horrific however we are 100% guaranteed to see more of this type of tragedy until government and trucking companys are held liable, and not the poor kids who are just trying to do a job they are ill equipped and trained to do!!! My 2 cents/ current driver
Have You got an E brake....in your car . .sometimes called a parking brake???? Were you taught to use it to slow you down if your pedal brakes fail ????? Ever heard of downshifting??? Is it only military girls that drive a stick shift???
@@dianebrady6784 well am a truck driver trucks use air brakes in another words it's has air tank and if you keep on pressing the brake pedal to slow down the truck it is when the air in the tank reduce air until you have no more brake power. It's is when all brake is no longer will work. And yeah the truck emergency brake would not work either. And yeah car's and trucks are completely different 100℅ and the truck and trailer used the same air system and the truck and trailer has their own emergency brake
This is why automated trucks will be the future! I keep telling my sister her jobs comin to a end soon! Get out before you're part of the huge wave of unemployed truck drivers!
I hope they check the engine in the semi that caused this accident sometimes Diesel engines run away and when that happens you could burn up you brakes trying to hold the truck back
he's claiming Brake failed, but he didn't even warn anybody he was coming and couldn't stop. not even just to honk. what a piece of shit. hope that guy rots in jail. RIP to those who lost their lives. Hope everybody who was hospitalized recover greatly. prays for everybody.
None of the above, just an inexperienced drivers who's truck got away from him. Either took the downgrade too fast, or tried to down shift... missed and couldn't get it back in gear. His breaks then over heated and from there it was all over but the screaming, I imagin there was a lot of screaming.
100% drivers fault. I don’t care how much experience, I don’t care how bad the brakes failed. It’s his load and he is responsible for doing a proper pre trip and knowing his route. A actual truck driver would of never hit another vehicle. This is so sad.
No mention of the homeless guy who rushed in and saved 4 lives? His name is Darin Barton, who was panhandling nearby and rushed in to pull people from the scene. A GoFundMe has been started for him by a witness on the scene, please donate here: www.gofundme.com/homeless-hero-saves-lives-in-i70-fire
Unless you have experience this problem, then you have no idea of the terror the driver is experiencing in the moment. All you arm chair quarterbacks can say what you want, but if you never been behind the wheel and then facing what happened, then Shut UP . I’m sorry that people lost their live over this. But as a truck driver that experienced running down a mountain and losing brakes is not fun!!! For me, I didn’t kill anyone, just The crap was scared out of me.
The Truck Company should be responsible for this., The drivers truck not working common man!!!!! 😒 You can’t stop something that’s not working. Specially coming down from a hill.
You're in an automatic you cannot always down shift in those damn things and with the emergency breaking system I'm surprised there's not more crashes You all decided to put a safety feature on Yeah if you come back on people who Make those tracks
You can downshifting automatic truck you might destroy your transmission if you do it wrong but you can downshift it. Better to destroy the transmission than to destroy people's lives. You also have a guardrail to drive yourself into. If you're going to crash you pick what you crash into especially when you have over a half a mile to make that decision.
“Thats a long way down the hill with no breaks to not slow down at all” how the fuck you gonna slow down in a truck with no breaks going down the hill that fast ? Yeah there was that fast truck lane with dirt but if you ever driving a car/truck before you know going that fast and not hitting the apex is dangerous af!!!! He could’ve hit the wall all the way to the right in the dirt lane and still caused a crash!! Just my opinion don’t @ me lol
@@abeltabares3163 you clearly don't understand how a runaway truck ramp works. You probably have never been on the 70 and you probably don't drive commercially in a 18 wheeler. So I don't expect you to understand. I mean you LITERALLY called it a fast truck lane with dirt. That's how much you know. Go look up a truck using a runaway truck ramp and tell me if they hit a wall. And then show me.
@@joebutta7539 can't put blame on the driver when its a diesel runaway.. You have to think in a split second and I wont fault anybody for not being able to that. Only 1 person died so I think he did a great job putting the truck to a stop. He stopped the truck where there was already a wreck and people were out of their vehicles.. People have nooo idea smh everybody wants to put the blame on 1 individual but that one individual did everyrhing he could to stop.
@@SoulPurposeGarage No 4 people died a horrible death because of the driver. Traffic was at a stand still. I've driven this highway thousands of times, he should never have been going that fast in rush hour traffic. Unless his truck was accelerating by itself he is absolutely at fault. Negligence.

ABSOLUTELY horrific however we are 100% guaranteed to see more of this type of tragedy until government and trucking companys are held liable, and not the poor kids who are just trying to do a job they are ill equipped and trained to do!!! My 2 cents/ current driver
18 year olds driving a semi full of lumber down a mountain is more dangerous then an 18 year old buying an effing gun.
23
This was 2 years ago?? I’m so confused
me too
sentencing takes a while, they have to gether a jury and stuff
yes ..he just got his 110yr jail sentence few days back for this 2 yr old accident
@@fidelcatsro6948 I thought you couldn’t be tried twice for the same crime or was he ever tried?
@@linoelcuccino4787 he was already tried i think its his appeal
Ok it's looking like a brakes failure. So how can it be the truck fault to get arrested???
Have You got an E brake....in your car . .sometimes called a parking brake???? Were you taught to use it to slow you down if your pedal brakes fail ????? Ever heard of downshifting??? Is it only military girls that drive a stick shift???
@@dianebrady6784 well am a truck driver trucks use air brakes in another words it's has air tank and if you keep on pressing the brake pedal to slow down the truck it is when the air in the tank reduce air until you have no more brake power. It's is when all brake is no longer will work. And yeah the truck emergency brake would not work either. And yeah car's and trucks are completely different 100℅ and the truck and trailer used the same air system and the truck and trailer has their own emergency brake
i was there in burgers vansion
Trucker going to fast
5:30 Burger Planet on CZcams if he was one lane over yikes

Hola mamacita. Te gusta el canal burger planet?

FUGG IT DOOD HEHEHEHEHHE
Justify please
"you saw one just there" - sensationalist
No one has a full range of things that happen
Yo this was like final destination kind of shit.
4 wheels are apart of the problem
If you can move over 4 Welker need to stay out of the right lane
This is why automated trucks will be the future! I keep telling my sister her jobs comin to a end soon! Get out before you're part of the huge wave of unemployed truck drivers!
I hope they check the engine in the semi that caused this accident sometimes Diesel engines run away and when that happens you could burn up you brakes trying to hold the truck back
I dont think the truck made it through the fire
just cut it off! an crash into the ditch, he didn't have enough training;!
As bad as people say jeep quality is those wipers worked while it was on fire
jeeps last forever what are you talking about
@@Xxmeca421xX fiat Chrysler has had a bed rep for years with reliablity
What if the person that caused the initial wreck that had traffic stopped was texting or drinking while driving?
Keep give. CDL in 2 weeks to news drivers. That people need more training. Is sucks in 2 weeks. Training. In plains never in mountains.
he's claiming Brake failed, but he didn't even warn anybody he was coming and couldn't stop. not even just to honk. what a piece of shit. hope that guy rots in jail. RIP to those who lost their lives. Hope everybody who was hospitalized recover greatly. prays for everybody.
Wow shut up
Danny Vtown you shut up Danny "vtown " LMAO idiot
Whaa whaa lil baby
Danny Vtown he took lives away from people you heartless piece of shit. it's people like you who need to be locked up.
I remember
was this a suicide, a terror attack on his fellow citizens? ppl crazy.
None of the above, just an inexperienced drivers who's truck got away from him.
Either took the downgrade too fast, or tried to down shift... missed and couldn't get it back in gear. His breaks then over heated and from there it was all over but the screaming, I imagin there was a lot of screaming.
At least my co worker ok
100% drivers fault. I don’t care how much experience, I don’t care how bad the brakes failed. It’s his load and he is responsible for doing a proper pre trip and knowing his route. A actual truck driver would of never hit another vehicle. This is so sad.
Let's give the witness and his radar a test let's have him go south let's let's have marked cars do a certain speed and see how close his radar is.
No mention of the homeless guy who rushed in and saved 4 lives? His name is Darin Barton, who was panhandling nearby and rushed in to pull people from the scene. A GoFundMe has been started for him by a witness on the scene, please donate here:

Unless you have experience this problem, then you have no idea of the terror the driver is experiencing in the moment. All you arm chair quarterbacks can say what you want, but if you never been behind the wheel and then facing what happened, then Shut UP . I’m sorry that people lost their live over this. But as a truck driver that experienced running down a mountain and losing brakes is not fun!!! For me, I didn’t kill anyone, just The crap was scared out of me.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥I appreciate you ! I am grateful you are okay from what happened to you ! KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
The Truck Company should be responsible for this., The drivers truck not working common man!!!!! 😒 You can’t stop something that’s not working. Specially coming down from a hill.
i agree
Thanks Jim for your sensationalism of this horrific crash. “The bubble headed bleach blonde tells you bout the plane crash with the gleam in her eye “
😂😂😂
4 people died
GTA5 in real life
Fuckin burger planet
Some of those crashes just send chill's down my spine
You're in an automatic you cannot always down shift in those damn things and with the emergency breaking system I'm surprised there's not more crashes You all decided to put a safety feature on Yeah if you come back on people who Make those tracks
You can downshifting automatic truck you might destroy your transmission if you do it wrong but you can downshift it. Better to destroy the transmission than to destroy people's lives. You also have a guardrail to drive yourself into. If you're going to crash you pick what you crash into especially when you have over a half a mile to make that decision.
end sanctuary cities already ffs
Wtf does that have to do with anything?
He already had permanent resident status
“Thats a long way down the hill with no breaks to not slow down at all” how the fuck you gonna slow down in a truck with no breaks going down the hill that fast ? Yeah there was that fast truck lane with dirt but if you ever driving a car/truck before you know going that fast and not hitting the apex is dangerous af!!!! He could’ve hit the wall all the way to the right in the dirt lane and still caused a crash!! Just my opinion don’t @ me lol
"Fast truck lane with dirt".... NO HE WOULD NOT HAVE HIT NO DAMN WALL. You don't know sh!t
@@fabiancazares6238 keyboard warrior calm down if he got in the dirt lane there is a barrier in the other side rewatch the video
@@abeltabares3163 you clearly don't understand how a runaway truck ramp works. You probably have never been on the 70 and you probably don't drive commercially in a 18 wheeler. So I don't expect you to understand. I mean you LITERALLY called it a fast truck lane with dirt. That's how much you know. Go look up a truck using a runaway truck ramp and tell me if they hit a wall. And then show me.
@@fabiancazares6238 brotha why you angry Cuz damn you so hostile lol
@@abeltabares3163 your angry Abel. Cuz your not able to handle the truth
4 or 5 deaths... (RIP)
this is why interstates should have emergency lanes for runaway trucks.
They do
Its the right shoulder I've used it
too bad that moron had his truck parked under the bridge on the shoulder. He could've passed the cars otherwise.
They do, he passed 2.
@@jayhanes8322 yeah, stupid shitty place to park a semi.
If the truck was a diesel runaway its nobodys fault but very unfortunate
incorrect; he swerved back into traffic, he is being charged with negligent manslaughter. How he lived i have no clue.
@@joebutta7539 he swerved into an accident scene where people aready left their cars unattended
@@joebutta7539 can't put blame on the driver when its a diesel runaway.. You have to think in a split second and I wont fault anybody for not being able to that. Only 1 person died so I think he did a great job putting the truck to a stop. He stopped the truck where there was already a wreck and people were out of their vehicles.. People have nooo idea smh everybody wants to put the blame on 1 individual but that one individual did everyrhing he could to stop.
@@SoulPurposeGarage No 4 people died a horrible death because of the driver. Traffic was at a stand still. I've driven this highway thousands of times, he should never have been going that fast in rush hour traffic. Unless his truck was accelerating by itself he is absolutely at fault. Negligence.
@@seemsgood85 The truck was driving by itself at wide open throttle. Thats what diesel runaway is.
MOST PEOPLE ARE USING PH IN WHILE DRIVING.. STOP THAT! BE CARFUEL! AND NUMBER ONE, KEEP TORAH. NOT KABBALAH. EVERLASTING ABA WILL BE WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES. SHALOM
MARTHA NSH'ALOM Shut up S✡tan ..
The Semi was a white color with a regular box type trailer! A homeless man pulled 4 people out of their car's...
Flatbed semi loaded with lumber.
