Car Tears Down Freeway on 3 Wheels With Open Tailgate

- A driver was shocked at what he saw on the 405 Freeway in Southern California. A car was traveling on three wheels with its tailgate open as it barrelled down the road in Orange County. Chad Towersey recorded the dangerous situation on video. Towersey says he followed the car off the freeway. He witnessed the bizarre journey come to an end after the car apparently rear-ended another vehicle. He confronted the driver, who gave an explanation for her erratic behavior.
My late father-in-law also drove erratically after finding out he had stage 4 lung cancer and had 6 months to a year to live. He left the doctor's office and instead of driving across the railroad tracks he drove DOWN them and got his car stuck. He was found dazed and confused but unharmed. He died just short of a year later. I'm guessing he and this woman both got so lost in the fear that they had no awareness of anything around them. Maybe doctors should take this into consideration and not tell patients devastating news unless the patient has someone there with them.
Sounds like a good idea. sorry for your loss.
I totally agree. Doctors should not allow people to drive same day if they were to give a terminal diagnosis... it is cruel to the patient and to anyone who can be harmed accidentally because of it. It's like a policy changes that happened after the new baby gets out of the hospital with a car seat but not just that any more... a person from the hospital must show how to attach the seat to the car... It happened to me so I understand why it is crucial
You can’t control what people do once they leave the hospital. And unfortunately not everyone has someone who can take them home.
Some people just have a lot to deal with.
And sometimes they just don't know what to do.
What was your father in law late to?
The driver recording sounds like a reporter lol
He should apply. Get this man a job!!
Right!?
that was his intention, he seems pretty witty
@@v_spw4355 Haha yes!
@@mm369 ahh yes hes got a couple interviews coming his way
Sounds like she was in shock...I hope she gets the help she needs, medically and psychologically
ehh idk probably high on weed, it's legal there
Fr I would have a break down
@@hawaiianwater1913 I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in the Army(had 50% chance to live past 5 years). I was mentally gone when I heard the word cancer. I don't even know how I managed to get home(barracks) from my walk at the briefing(for deployment to Iraq). I got the call half-way between the location. You can't understand that feeling of your mortality unless you're in that situation.
You're right. I was mentally gone when my doctor told me I had Stage 3 cancer while I was in the Army. Your brain just.....idk....youre just not "there". I didn't "come to myself" untill the next day.....and bawled like a baby when I read my chances to live past 5 years.
Her situation is even more bleak.
@@coreymartin6486 I made that comment before I realized that the cancer could've shocked her so im sorry for you and that woman
This dude can be a great journalist . I love how he explain and describe the event , it is somewhat comical
Thoughts exactly
it was pretty cringe.
Some people don't realize what their real talent is.
@@idrisali3947 you must be the woman’s husband lol 😂
@@emilioacevedo25 no, i just have a better sense of humor and sentence structure/tone
I’ve never known anyone to actually survive pancreatic cancer. My heart goes out to this poor lady. Glad no one got hurt. Doctors should not let people drive after giving them such devastating news.
i was waiting for test results where two 8 of the possible outcomes were pancreatic or liver cancer. I lived in a university dorm at the time and had no friends so no one close by knew i was spiralling. I don’t even remember that semester. I empathize with this lady a lot :( luckily i didn’t have cancer and my health issues resolved on their own. the human body is so fickle
This video was a rollercoaster of emotions dude, I went from "what the hell is wrong with some people?!" to laughing my ass off at the queen joke to shock and understanding.
Yep
It's like, she was going to change her tire..and got scared of something
I don’t understand at all… so you not doing well… give you the right to put others in harms way…. The phrase misery loves company is not a good phrase… I wonder if that one driver was the only person she hit. What is the next one was a pedestrian….
@@chrishenderson6883 It doesn't give you the right, but it offers an explanation.
@@kathleenking47 what an odd conclusion to jump to. Perhaps she was distracted and/or in shock over the news that she has a cancer which has a survival rate of 11% at best?
Pancreatic cancer is the most malignant form of cancer. When we have extremely high sudden pressure placed on us we sometimes lose it. I wish her the best and im also glad that no one got hurt from this
This story took such an unexpected turn when she mentioned it. Kinda wish this clip wasn’t posted at all.
@@jamie7664 exactly, she didn’t need this publicity.
She’s faking it. Boo f’ing hoo
@@MareShoop source? and no, random theory you pull out of ur ass doesnt count
@@MareShoop probably not, ever seen a person going through shock she fits the bill to a t.
My step-dad only survived that cancer because they found it really early. In case people don't actually know its pretty much always fatal so if what she said is true, I could see a person being stuck in their head and having a mental break..that's why people drive you when you get news like this usually.
My stepdad also survived pancreatic cancer. If I'm not mistaken he has a 9 centimeter tumor all wrapped around his pancreas. I'll have to ask my mom. But he says he survived because "I was a child of the 60s and 70s, if all those drugs didn't kill me, what will?" Which sounds ridiculous 😅 but that's just the type of guy he is. It sure took a toll on him. And my mother. My mother was more of a mess after his diagnosis than he was. I can't count the number of times I drove hours back and forth to and from the Cleveland clinic for him and my mom.
It's crazy because one of my friend's father was a well respected doctor at the Cleveland clinic, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was gone within a month of his diagnosis. Another friend, her uncle was diagnosed, gone within a week.
My stepdad was diagnosed almost ten years ago now and beat it. It took a major toll on him that still can be seen to this day. It's just crazy how deadly it is, and how you just never know who is going to pull through or not.
@@raeraebadfingers with my step-dad we got so lucky, he had something going on with his liver that day and he turned kinda yellow, I insisted that he went to the er for it, because he is a stubborn man and would wait to see if he got better. They found the cancer while looking for what was going on with him, which actually cleared in like a day...had it not been for that, by the time it would have been found it would have been too late..he still had an intense procedure to get it removed but he survived..
I agree, I can see why she responded in that manner.
My dad also “survived” that cancer, according to the doctors who performed his surgery then ended up being wrong when he quickly deteriorated a year later.
Doesn't give them the right to put everyone else in danger. Such selfish behavior.
Poor lady having a rough time. Sadly you cant be driving around like that running into others. Some drs shouldnt let patients leave without a family member or someone for support.
I feel bad for her. She must've been in shock. People problably shouldn't be allowed to drive right after getting such life threatening news. I hope she gets the help she needs and survives.
So the next option is to put everyone’s life in danger
@@ema4165 Did you even read my comment buddy? 😑
@@007NowOnline that doesn't justify putting other peoples life in danger
@@ema4165 Reread the comment🙄 go learn some reading comprehension
@@themanwithnothingtolose *sigh*😒,
Reread again buddy!! I never said it was "justified" nor implied it. I merely referenced the causation to her actions and covyed my hope that she gets the help she needs.
The story is funny enough, but that Chad is the Chadest looking Chad
🤣

@@ThePomskysPalace thats the kind of Chad people tell stories about.
"Well sweetie, this Chad just came out of nowhere and filmed the day" kid knows instantly what the dude looks like
😂😂😂
Yea it's so funny people almost died. We all love it when people die don't we?
Jk jk I know what you mean 😂
I feel for her. I can only imagine how such horrible news could affect someone.
It's like she got the news over the phone, changing a tire😔
She is probably lying.
@@jinxterpinxter Right?? She pulled that excuse out of her ass
True. She probably already has depression anyway and hearing something like that with depression could make lose your head. I feel for her too🙏😥
White tears who cares…. She get bad news and then puts everyone in danger 🤨
And pancreatic cancer is a lethal one for sure. My heart goes out to her. Also thanks to the guy for being a good and compassionate citizen
we dont know if she has it or not... only thing u tell her is only Cancer is has is being a danger to the person she hit & everyone else she maybe put in harm way or more if she end up killing someone.. not to sure
At the beginning I was laughing but the moment she said she was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, my heart began to hurt. I know that type of cancer has a high mortality rate so I can imagine she was just having a mental breakdown. I hope she beats it and gets the help she needs.
I actually had a tire fly off my car while driving, it literally rolled across the opposite lane and my fender crashed down on the road. But it happened mid drive and I’ll be honest, it’s a lot easier to drive with 3 wheels than you think. Obvi I noticed right away but I can see how someone who’s mind is elsewhere could just think it’s rough road or something. There really wasn’t much difference with the drive. My aunt was in the passenger seat and she had no idea it even happened..it was a weird occurrence but before you judge this lady it isn’t as crazy inside the car as what’s going on outside. Although idk if I have an excuse for her tailgate being open, maybe she thought it was the back windows? 😆

@@msmeggacha6487 Your empty profile says otherwise.
@@msmeggacha6487 ratio
The back being up you would notice the sound difference.
I’m thinking the back was open cause the tire was being changed and she just got in the car and left.
I’m thinking she was at home, her husband was changing the tire, went back inside to go to the bathroom or something and she came out and just hoped in. She didn’t see the tire was off, she didn’t notice the trunk open.
@@auntiem873 Good Point about the noise difference with the back hatch open.
To the woman, I’m so so sorry this is happening to you. May God be with you at this time. I hope that everyone else you’ve effected during your breakdown is ok.
wow. . . .you're really something, you know that right? honestly I hope you take back what you said about God like that. . .
Inside edition should hire that guy driver!
Obviously he's working for inside edition. He had nothing else but to follow the poor woman?
I don't think so
Definitely lol
Driving with cellphone on hand
So he can harass other cancer patients?
That is so dangerous, hope no one got hurt
Really? It's dangerous? We didn't know thanks for telling us. Much appreciated.

They probably would've said someone got hurt.
Nope, the driver was fine, she waved .
@@msmeggacha6487 bruh it's about the news to keep updated
God bless you lady - sorry about your pancreatic cancer diagnosis. I hope you have someone who loves you and can take care of you.
I heard in another video there was a guy that was changing her tire and as he was trying to do this, she drove away. I am glad nobody got hurt. Sad to hear about her diagnosis. Prayers 🙏
@Jackie DeComa I think she's telling the truth and I found the cause: Abdominal pain, Jaundice, Itchy skin, Fatigue, and Weight loss. I'm sorry 😥😢😭💔
I never said she wasn't telling the truth.
That answers a lot more questions. Explains the missing wheel and the open hatch. Poor thing. What an awful day.
I want to give her a hug hearing her say that...
He sounds like a news caster 😂
Modern news caster
I like the old radio voices better
It's extremely dangerous. Her car may turn at any moment and any thing can happen, she is not only putting her life in danger but also the people nearby her car.
no wayyyyyy she was so chill!
I really feel for this lady man. Getting some news like that gotta be hard to take
@@oldladyfromsoulfoodtwin2323 fr fr
It’s called shock…or a mental break.
Especially when told your gonna die soon.
Your brain basically goes YOLO.
If she’s telling the truth I am so sorry and I hope she can beat the cancer.
But what she did, she put so many ppl in harms way. No good, that was literally off the charts nuts.
Of course he’s wearing his company shirt while during the interview. Now that’s genius
What a chad
This guy is meant to be a news reporter or radio personality!
Put yourself in her shoes so you can understand the level of shock she was going through at the moment.
Didn’t look like drugs to me, more like a mental health breakdown.
That car had no tires. Only a crackhead would think car is okay to drive.
@@joeybaseball7352 you should feel blessed that you or a loved one has never been in such a mental state that could allow you to understand how that would be possible
It's very unfortunate about her diagnosis, that's still no excuse to be driving around with a missing tire, an open tailgate and hitting another driver. It looks like she was in a previous accident and fled the scene
I don't believe her story about the diagnosis at all. It's a sympathy bid. She was no doubt involved in a prior hit & run.
Well let’s not make assumptions on what actually happened.
I feel like the cancer thing was a lie.
The one way I could think this is related to cancer, is if she drank alcohol in her grief, or drugs. Other than that, I don’t know how this is related to cancer.
totally what ate her tire?!
Exactly making assumptions maybe not true
The woman clearly is in need of professional help and I hope she gets it.
*loads gun* dont worry, way ahead of you here
Yes. Accusing a person of being on drugs and shoving a camera in their face is how you De-escalate a situation with a person who's having a mental issue
Good to know 😊
Yeah. He’s real weird for that.
You should start teaching classes on de-escalation techniques.
@@eustab.anas-mann9510 You have 0 common sense, no real life awareness. Good luck with that.
It really is though
Best line ever “the tailgate is open and there is no tailgate party in sight” 🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣😩
I had a flat yesterday heard a pop and instantly heard the air coming out of my tire.. I don’t understand how people don’t hear that nor feel that.. 😮
she felt it just ignored it.
hilarious.
It's sad that she was diagnosed with cancer, but she obviously shouldn't have been driving. It seems like she got into another accident and fled the scene, then ended up rear-ending a second person after the video was shot. If she lost control of her car on the freeway, people could have been killed!
She probably got the news, was driving home but wasn't paying attention because all her mind was on was that she would die in 3 to 5 years, got in an accident but didn't care for life anymore since it was gonna end, so she just kept driving.
I like the dude’s way of describing what he saw. “It was like the Fourth of July on a Tuesday afternoon” 🤓😝😜
Inside Edition - I hope you will give us an update on this lady - clearly, there was alot more going on in her life - love the guy who recorded it - Cheers
“And she looks at me and Rest In Peace but she’s waving at me like the queen of England you know” 😂😭😂😂😂😂😂😭😂 this guy is funny I’m glad they got the women off the road and no one was hurt
“Clearly something was wrong with this driver and she was putting many people in harms way” thanks for stating the obvious…
She got diagnosed with cancer and most likely got some pain meds. She's not a bad lady and no one got hurt people need to chill
Suddenly all the anger turned into compassion when I knew she has been diagnosed with cancer,
I hope her all the health and speedy recovery 💖🌹 pray for her 🙏
There is definitely so much going on in her life. We need to pray for her. Good no one was hurt.
I knew it was a Chad when he was doing the play by play 😂
Lot of people talking about chad, who is Chad?
Sorry I'm from different countries
Lol A “chad” is another term for like a “bro” or a regular white guy.
Similarly to how a “Karen” is a older white women that complains alot 😆
Glad everyone is alright. Praying for her.
This is why I was so upset when a doctor told me my cancer had spread to my bones from the hips up.
I should have had someone with me at the time of the appointment. I was furious.
The definition of we gone ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Doctors need to make sure people have someone with them before giving them this news.
I wish they had let us see the rest of her explanation after finding out she lost her tire, etc. She seems like a nice person who simply had an anomalous situation.
It was at this moment, Inside Edition realized they needed to hire this guy for journalism work. 😆
Sending her love she clearly needs it. Probably doesn’t need to be on the news for having a hard time. I’m sure that won’t make anything better unless someone wants to help her out
White privilege
This was so sad!! May god be with her, life in this world is very hard, harder for most of us.
Looks like a hit and run and or she was trying to end it all, not sure but how calm she was is crazy haha
Ehhh…it’s called not knowing
@@chexnfx7161 Its called she was going through a mental crisis from the bad news she just got
Pancreatic cancer is almost always terminal... It sounds like she had a mental break or some type of episode. I hope she was evaluated 😔
I know the feeling she had. When I was waiting for a diagnosis, my mind was not in this earth. I hope she is ok.
Once she said she had cancer, i realised she needed crisis intervention, whoever edited this video should have not shown her face atleast for her privacy, she was in shock! People behave differently on getting bad news,, she will even feel so bad about herself when she sees herself on Tv after this! For the people she hurt, please forgive her! I hope she finds some sort of hope to cling on , the guy who recorded the video, thank you for being her guardian angel, it could have ended much worse
I can’t imagine getting diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, it has a very low survival rate. I feel so bad for this lady.
I hope this lady gets the support and help she needs. I can't even imagine what my thought process would be hearing news like that. Thank god no one was injured.
I started SCREAMING when he said it was like a Fourth of July on a Tuesday afternoon 😂😂😂😂😂
This is terrible news,and I hope she's able to get through it. But that was incredibly dangerous what she did. I hope she is able to beat this.
I feel bad for her and her médical diagnosis. I was 23 years old in the Army, just walking back to the company from à mission briefing at à gym for our deployment to Iraq(2005)....when my doctor called me to tell me I had Stage 3 Melanoma(cancer). I don't even remember much after he said the word "cancer". I don't remember the end of the call or the rest of my walk back.......I was just "out".
I bawled like a baby the next day(I pretty much went straight to bed the day I found our) when I saw my chance to live past 5 years at 50%.
This lady is likely taking it similar to how I took the news. A death sentence. Her situation is even more grave since it's considered terminal.
If you were 23 years old seventeen years ago and was given a 50% chance to live five years, what happened?
@@jkxss Compared to her pancreatic cancer, 50% is pretty good odds.
Chad you got the voice for news !
But not the hair. I mean, hair can always change though.
I literally cackled out loud when I saw Chad. That's a Chad for sure.
Dude just call 911. Recording while driving is dangerous in and of itself.
Exactly
Doesn't a tailgate refer specifically to a truck? Wouldn't saying the driver has their boot or trunk open make more sense?
I MAKE BETTER VIDEOS INSIDE EDITION
I thought tailgating means like a car following another car very closely.
@@msmeggacha6487 Literally 0 videos uploaded
By definition: A tailgate is the hinged part that extends across the rear of a pickup truck or other vehicle and can be folded down or to a horizontal position for loading and unloading. So I guess it doesn't have to be a truck. I'd still call that a trunk.
As a noun, tailgate, hatchback, same thing. As a verb, to tailgate or be tailgated.
When she waved at him killed me 😂
She’s heading to LS Customs
lmAo
😂😂😂
real question is how did the car end up like that to begin with ??
how is the car still drivable with that missing wheel?
must be a toyota🐱👍🏿
Damn pancreatic cancer makes you go really off the deep end
that's sad, poor women, must've been in emotional shock or something
Never tell a last stage person he has a cancer He will live longer.
Just because she got a death sentence doesn’t mean she should take others with her
Nobody else died. Chill.
That lady is the Homelander of all karens bro...
That guy seems fun, and also he sounded like a news reporter 😂
How can he accuse someone of being high on painkillers when he has NO proof whatsoever??
She's lucky that didn't catch fire
I love how the guy who recorded this describes it 😂
“Waving peacefully like the queen of England”
“In LaLaLand”
Poor woman. Praying for her.
I work for Sunrun!! We install solar that’s so cool he did that, literally about to head to an install this morning☀️
No, I’m seriously why nobody’s talking about this. He was also putting all the people on risk driving in it, and sometime recording
3 wheels and it still drives! Glaive
How she able to control the car on the freeway is outstanding lol
Just because she has cancer doesn't give an excuse to put other drivers in harms way.
To be honest, I was expecting her to say "I didn't know I had a flat tire."
Yes being on your phone while driving is super safe. You can tel how focused he was… on the other lane.
My mother accidentally took an Ambien on her way home from work and it kicked in on the frickin interstate! She didn't pass out, but if you ever stayed up on one, that's the feeling she got, thankfully.
She thought she took her Alprazolam but she had her pills mixed in one bottle😬 Something like that, I can forgive because the lesson is there to not keep meds in one bottle. THAT lady having cancer can't just do that. I'm not getting that.
She's basically dead already, that's why she didn't really care. She was probably experiencing some form of dissociation. It's like she didn't even know what was going on until he asked her what was wrong. Then she snapped back into it. I don't think those were tears to "excuse" her behavior. She just remembered that she's going to die very soon. Different kind of pity. She should absolutely be punished to the fullest extent, however if there were no injuries or property damage (other than her rear-ending someone) I'm not sure what else they can charge her with other than reckless driving.
I love the comments here . Seems like people becoming more aware and understanding. We can’t judge people without knowing the backstory.
REST IN PEACE QUEEN OF ENGLAND 😭😭😭
Poor lady, hope she has someone that can help her.
The guy sounds like a reporter, talks like a reporter, looks like a reporter. He is a reporter.
Apparently she already had an accident after receiving her Pancreatic Cancer diagnosis, generally a person with this form of Cancer doesn't have symptoms until its stage 4 and your told you have less than 6 months to live . Enough to put one in an extreme state of shock.
Give this guy a reporter position at inside edition!!
REST IN PEACE QUEEN OF ENGLAND LMAOOO
Thank you for getting this woman off the road!!!
Ok, this guy needs to be a news anchor.
I'm surprised the sunrun didn't announce this guy's firing for using a cell phone while driving. Or the police give him a ticket.
He’s probably the owner
He was off the clock when recording and did the interview later in the company shirt … I know of him
It sounds like the guy recording is doing a news report.
This is the heat of passion. She didn’t control yourself
SERIOUSLY WHO DRIVES LIKE THIS?! THIS IS CRAZY!
You shouldnt record people and publish it, that should be penalized. She will pay for her mistakes but nobody has the right to tape her and make it viral without her concent.
Good luck getting permission from everyone in the background of your videos! Imagine trying to film a video at a busy place dumb dumb
Yeah the internet is pathetic
May she find peace and healing in Jesus ❤️
