The Washington State Patrol reported a fatal accident involving a semi-truck on Auburn-Black Diamond Road near Lake Holm Road, on Sunday evening. A semi-truck was traveling in the northbound lanes near Holm Rd just east of Auburn, when its trailer tipped over into oncoming traffic. The woman died at the scene. A man and child were rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle in critical condition, according to the King County Sheriff's Office. The driver of the truck was also taken to the hospital but was not seriously injured.
@@dixiefleming518You do not need a lot of speed if a trailer suddenly drift in front of you. It all depend how they made contact, and what reflex you have. Smashing on the brake and or over correcting. Even at the speed limit your car can fly on a big arc and got crushed between the rail and the trailer. The nose of the car can be hold by a piece of the trailer with the back end almost at 90°.
I agree, but also, understand that cops, paramedics, nurses , docs, firefighters etc. have a gallows sense of humor and unless you’ve seen what we’ve seen, you’ll NEVER understand. It’s not meant to be callous or nasty. It helps distance us from the horror a little bit.
When I was younger, (10 - 14 yo) and anxiety kicked in from something scary, or injury related, I giggled. It made everyone around me think I was being horrible, or heaven forbid, faking an illness. Even got slapped across the room a few times. (I quickly learned to duck). Apparently it was a coping mechanism. THAT was minor compared to these folks. Is it disturbing to those of us over here observing? HELL YEA!! But could I witness what they witnessed several times a day? HELL NO!! Carry on with the utmost respect Brave Rescuers, carry on… 🚓🚑🚒🏩🏥
@@PJTN826 you’re right, it was. But he was close enough that I wonder if he may have been part of the crew. I don’t know, and ppl need to be careful. You don’t want families to see it. But yeah. It’s a coping mechanism.
A tipping semi is a horror of mine. I go with my daughter and her husband on trips. He drives and his propensity to get surrounded by semis makes me very upset.
You could suggest to him that he take a defensive driving course. They teach a number of techniques to minimize the risk of an accident, one of which is always driving in the spaces between clusters of traffic when on road trips. It keeps your car a safe distance from other vehicles, especially semi's. I've used this technique religiously, among others and have never been in an accident.
Can’t tell what happened as there isn’t much info. But both were fine I assume, and I hope mom had no prior thoughts just driving alon❤g in a beautiful wooded road and then forever together with her baby and no worries. Precious . Prayers for those who loved them both!❤
I meant if you followed along, Jesus! As one of you have said, “then forever together with her baby, no worries. “She’s in heaven for Gods sake. Where else would you have no worries?
These videos are so sad and heartbreaking! And the sad thing about most of these videos, is the fact that some, if not most, could have been avoided if people would drive safely. Speed and lack of attention seems to be the major culprit in these accidents, which often leads to death. RIP Dear Lady!
I live in a rural area with hills and curves on two-lane roads. People leave their brains at home when they venture out. They pass on solid double lines. They enter highways on those hills and curves. And of course, speed. We've had so many horrible fatal accidents that should have never happened. They're in such a hurry to get somewhere that they get nowhere but the morgue or they send someone else to it. My neighbor's daughter was killed on that road and she is now raising her grandchildren. Why can't people leave home with enough time to get there on time?
Geez they need more training, speaking from experience. Never get under an elevated car even if it is supported. Should have utilized a rotator. Extrication looks like it should've been straight forward. Cut the pillars and off with the top. Even being a vfd it could have been handled alot different and safer. Hopefully they'll learn from this one
Yeah,something could have been handled differently,but without seeing what the road looks like on the other side it's a tough call. A rotator would be ideal if it has the space to work. They must have it stabilized somehow though,just a bad situation.
We take photos and send them to the Emergency Room Doctors so they can see how bad the injuries might be. Remember the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words”….
I’m sitting here just shaking my head wondering why that guy thought the comment The other fire fighter said was so funny people are dying at this moment or may have already Past at that moment I don’t think any words are funny you should be ashamed of yourself dude
The cop/firefighter who said "those are energized lines" is full of sh*t. Those are low voltage lines carrying phone/cable/data lines, NOT high voltage.

So sorry to the families of the loss love ones. 🙏
Blessings to the first responders and police. Blessings to the families.
Very tragic accident. How in the world did car get in that position? RIP momma and baby! 😢
My question also. Speed?

I can't really tell what is going on here but I was also wondering how in the world that car got in that position. Awful.
The baby is resting in peace. No doubt. The mother.... maybe, if she was a believer in Christ.
@@jeanneparisot237in the description it said that a semi tipped it’s trailer into oncoming traffic. There was not enough time to react
Thoughts are with the families, the emergency services are absolutely fantastic,
Awful tragic accident 😞 can you imagine seeing this video and realizing it’s a video of your loved ones 😢 heartbreaking
People filming or close by should be careful what they say or laugh at. My goodness.

I do understand this with first responders. I felt this was someone filming.

Both were fine??? It says it was a double fatal!!
Jesus…..mother died and either child or dad also passed……
Pregnant mother= double fatality and father and another child in critical condition. Truck driver minor injuries

You weren’t there therefore you don’t have enough information to judge.

Very sad ☹️
Did this MVC take place on 2-25-18 like it says, or did it happen more recently? I'm confused.
Reporters in the uk would never be allowed to be that close to the accident, those poor people 😢, I just pray that they didn’t suffer :(
Rest in peace
Rip all lost..
Sending 🙏 to the family and friends 😢
My condolences to the families. Loss of lived ones are so hard.
I don’t think they should have been climbing and using power equipment around high tension wires like that
I agree but I don't think they had a choice.
I'm sure they're being as careful as possible to reach the crash victims.
Power lines are dead or they wouldn't be on the car & you would see sparks coming from the wires .

Why was that medic taking a photo 😳😳😳
Documenting injuries prolly
Cause they have reports to make just like the police
Evidence.

This is six years old. What’s the point?
Yet, here you are!! 😂🙄😂
It was obviously posted 6 years ago. I’m 66 now, I wonder what my point is 😂😂😂
😊
Didn't show a damn thing!
Showed a horrid wreck and efforts to extricate victims. What did you want to see?
To many people walking around and doing nothing to help these people trap. All hands on deck!
The cop/firefighter who said "those are energized lines" is full of sh*t.
Those are low voltage lines carrying phone/cable/data lines, NOT high voltage.
Doesn’t “energised” just mean that there’s energy going through them, not necessarily high or low.
