I was kissing my ass goodbye and I wasn't even there.
 Good thing that truck driver was from New Jersey though. They know how to drive in bad weather because he's from the north.

He caught a little air there.

Must be a typo. Can't be a northern driver. They know how to drive on snow and ice.

Guy in the car is a turd. He sat while the truck almost hit him, then left the guy sitting in a burning car across the highway .

So you see a out of control truck heading towards you and you think the best course of action is to just sit there and watch? Really?

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your diagnosis, but that was still an active scene. You can see the Estes truck get hit at least once after it came to a stop, it would be extraordinarily dangerous for somebody to get out of their vehicle and go running around in that mess. Car on fire with unknown entrapments is one of those instances where I'd consider it, though. |

My first thought was he should check on the truck driver (heart attack, etc.), then I saw that it got hit by another vehicle, so . . . then the car on fire.
Yeah, video guy is douche. Stop taking video and call 911 at a minimum. |

My question would be, why was he just stopped there half way on the left shoulder? You can hear the clicking sound for his hazard lights, which made me think he was having car trouble. But after that wreck he says lets go and decides to drive off.

Maybe the Truck driver should have slowed the fuck down in freezing rain and icy road conditions instead of losing control of his vehicle and putting multiple lives at risk.
Like the snowstorm video a week or so ago, fucking morons just kept plowing into the back of the multiple car/truck pile-up because they can't be bothered to slow down in low visibility and low traction situations. Fuck them all. |

They don't call double trailers wiggle wagons for nothing. It does not take much before the driver becomes a passenger in the front seat of a roller coaster gone off the rails.

So you see a out of control truck heading towards you and you think the best course of action is to just sit there and watch? Really? Where would you go? You don't know where the truck will go. All you can do is hope that he doesn't hit you. Someone hit the trailer after the truck came to a stop. You can see it lurch forward and hear the thud. The car driver already saw the truck that spun out in front of him. If you get out, you're begging to be the cause and victim of another collision. A friend in N.J. said the roads iced suddenly and it wasn't forecast. As much as I hate New Jersey, notice that it didn't turn into a 150 car pile-up. They actually do know what they're doing. |

Wow, did the truck jump the guard rail or something when it hit? You only get to see the trailer riding over the guard rail from that camera angle.
And ice and ice, a few weeks ago during that bad 190+ car pileup on I-94, I was driving on one of the main road and doing about 30 or 35. I was about 300 or so feet from an intersection when the lights went from Green to Red. I tried to stop and just went through the red light. Luckily, nobody was at the stop light to cross my path, and so once I was almost right at the stop light, I just put the foot back on the pedal and kept on driving. So it doesn't really matter about "experience". And really the only trick to driving on ice or snow is to drive slow enough to stop. There is no magic trick that a northerner can imply by saying he/she was born in the north and are just skilled at driving in it. ETA: Scratch that, it does show the truck itself jumping the guard rail as it hit. |

I have to wonder if the truck driver did about the only thing he could to keep from crushing the camera guy or crashing into the other stopped vehicles. Across the median looked like the only open space and driver took his truck over two guard rails and kept it upright. By design or a screwup, I don't know.

I drove past that area around 11:30 that day. Roads were terrible, the ice was unexpected. Traffic was generally moving around 40 MPH, normal is 70 MPH+. Lots of little fender benders.
