That's so very true. My husband drive's a truck an he said it's unreal how people will pull right out in front of you. Knowing them big trucks can't stop like a car ignorance just pure ignorance, but like you said it stupidity no matter how many wheels it is. It's not just the truck driver's!!
I'm a retired trucker from 70's through 2000's I'm 68 years old,there is a lot of stupid stuff going on out there ,even in my day but it's not just truckers, most truckers abide by the rules, some 4 wheelers don't. Some truckers have lose there lives by 4 wheelers also.
Yep I agree. I live in Houston and I see all kinds of "major" accidents involving and not involving semis. Stupid is stupid regardless what they drive 🤷🏾♂️
Some of yall missed the entire point of this video. It's not trying to push a skewed perception of big rig trucks. It's giving these people who have lost their families a voice. The lawyer acknowledged that good truckers exist and that was honestly all that needed to be said on that.
yeah, but when u get paid for training and ur on the clock with alot of weight. complacency will get somebody killed. If ur an airline pilot, u may feel the same way about GA aircraft but thats no excuse to be less distracted, actually thats when u should be on alert mode. whenever ur in a place where GA aircraft or 4 wheel cars, the trucker should be on alert.
So so so sorry for their loss of their loved ones. This is something that no one should have to go through… rip to all of the people who have been killed by negligence of a truck driver. Rip all the people passed away from these horrible accidents. ❤❤❤

There's also a huge problem with people pulling out in front of semi's, trying to get ahead of it. My father has driven big rigs all my life, and more than once he's had to dive into the woods and try not to be impaled when people with FAMILIES in their vehicles pull out in front of him and he obviously can't stop in time. Thanksgiving 2016 he clipped the bed of a pickup truck pulling out in front of him that had CHILDREN in the truck... and he was inches away from being killed by a tree through his windshield. Distracted driving is definitely a huge problem, but it's so common to see people not realizing inertia exists.
exactly, and even if they DID stop on a dime, they got a split second to realise that whatever the hell's in the trailer is coming right through the cab. its a shame inside edition is blaming the drivers but they arent saying a word about what causes most of the issues.
And the other side of your untold story ,,, how many truckers have / and will continue to pull-out from a drive way when there is traffic coming at full speed ? Many !
As a daughter of a truck driver , my heart goes out to all the families. I rode with my dad and he was always courteous and was aware of what was going on all the time while driving. He always told me a good driver looks ahead 5 to 7 car to see what's going on in case you need to stop asap! I was 13 @ the time now I'm 40 and I've always done that.

Yep. Between tragic accidents like the ones featured here and the pressure of companies to move freight around the country, it seems to me that self-driving trucks will rapidly displace human truckers almost as soon as the technology reaches maturity and regulations allow it. Companies will love automated trucks that can drive nearly 24 hours a day and thereby move cargo much faster because computer systems don't require sleep, and it will undoubtedly be promoted to the public as a safety measure. Unfortunately this will put countless hard-working truckers out of work.
@@photios4779 Question for you then. Would you feel safer knowing that the 40 ton vehicle beside you on the highway or coming up behind you at the intersection has NOBODY at the wheel (assuming it even has a wheel still)? Just some AI program controlling it.
I was a truck driver... never will i do it again. 14 hour days 6 to 7 days a week, plus a 1 hour commute to my truck and then 1 hour home, equals a 16 hour day. That leaves 8 hours to cook, clean, shower, rest, then about 5 hours sleep. If you want to stop these accidents we need 6 hour work days for truckers while being paid for a 14 hour day... then roads will be safer!
I was thinking the same thing. And why I refuse to drive even my Hyundai Elantra without a dash cam. 4 years ago I owned a 2013 ford focus. A young woman who was looking down, not sure what at, a cellphone or radio, blew though a stop sign, in a Chrysler minivan. I t boned her doing aprox 55 to 60 mph. Her van spun around and flipped. My car also lost control and came to a rest on a sidewalk. The young woman was very badly injured. I suffered torn ligaments in my legs, my back was messed up, a broken nose and hairline fracture in my shoulder. Were it not for a good samaritan and witnesses stopping to our aid, and a nearby convenience store which I assume some of the wreckage, would have been my word against hers.
For all the truckers - what's one thing you appreciate other drivers doing? My father was a truck driver and told me to flash my high beams to let passing trucks know when it was safe to merge into my lane. So it's something I do all the time. edit - he drove a 18 wheeler for over 55 years.
Don't do it at night, you'll just blind the driver. But I appreciate when cars let me over or merge and don't travel next to me for extended amounts of time
@@JokerBeJokingYT you think a truck is just going to suddenly happen to crash right next to her and roll over into her lane If your that paranoid about everything, you shouldn’t be driving
Its not just truckers, I've seen regular cars, pickup, suvs- people just need to be cautious. Smaller cars tend to want to pass big rigs getting into truckers blind spots. Some truckers assume to merge without looking properly. It just goes both ways
They will also pull in front of trucks, completely oblivious to the danger that puts them in. Folks, trucks can't stop like cars can, they need much more room.
I had a car in El Paso get mad at me for passing him (in my truck) .. he was going abnormally slow. So he gets in front of me and slows me down. I was hauling a 40,000lbs load and the stupid idiot would change to my lane whenever I changed. I literally had to slow down to like 30mph just to let him get as far away from me as possible.
I'm a truck driver and if you want to get down to it take away delivery and unload times ... no schedule and plenty of rest for drivers and electronics on the truck no distractions and no rush that will stop accidents
anyone else remember when the DOT told SWIFT to turn them trucks up because they were going too slow? I do. Maybe inside edition should do a week in the cab of a big rig, they would be shocked.
So what happened in those videos? Looks like it was the trucks fault. Trucks can't stop on a dime but the truckers know this and still speed. But what do I know i just travel on two hwys each day for work. There must be something being overlooked during their training
I am a truck driver, I've been in this industry for as long as I can remember and to see this saddens my heart. My thoughts and prayers gose out to the families and there lose of loved ones. I am truly sorry.
I've driven vehicles for 37 years, people wreck, people die. It didn't take this video to sadden my heart. LIfe happens and then it doesn't. If you don't want to sadden your heart, lock yourself inside and isolate all communication with the world. Then you won't have to be 'sad' when someone kicks the bucket.
@@capnobvious2718 this comes from a person who doesn't let their emotions cloud their judgement the pure non sugary truth I completely agree still R.I.P to those who lost their lives
A similar accident happens and later you found out that the truck driver did so to avoid another vehicle. Let's just not put it on the truckies...everyone on the road needs to be driving responsibly.
I don’t want this to appear to be blaming the victim, but seriously people need to realize you CANNOT stop on the highway - you need to pull off on the right hand side, no exception
@@fostoriadistrictrailfan3907 agreed truckers need basically the length of a football field to stop if they're fully loaded sometimes two if the road conditions aren't ideal.
That’s extremely unfortunate.. However what is your deal always painting a negative picture about truck driver’s?… Would love a interview with your reporters.
@@thebella422 the MAJORITY of companies won't dare hire anyone under 21 specifically because to drive out of state you (federally required by law) have to be 21
Yeah if you’re driving a class C car but a Semi?! The breaking time is vastly different. No way should a semi driver be going with the flow of smaller cars around it. Simple math.
It isnt just big rigs this applies to all types of cars and half the time its others cutting them off, stopping in the middle of the road and law enforcement not moving wrecks from the damn road.
They complain about the trucks even though they compose only 6.5% of all accidents. Normal vehicles cause roughly 5.5 million accidents a year. So if this seems bad.....you really need to open your eyes to reality of normal accidents. Semis weigh between 15,000lbs and 80,000lbs. Vs a normal vehicle usually weighing less than 5,000lbs. If you see a slow in traffic, put your hazards on for Semis to see, Stay out of blind spots, and be a on your toes in traffic. They can only do so much in such a large vehicle.
For 4 years I drove from KC to Midland every month. From what I saw it was people in cars or SUVS getting butt hurt and deliberately cutting off semis or trying to start road rage.
Such a one-sided report!! She reports that cop pulls over truck after truck after truck -- of course, he does, that is his sole responsibility (Indiana state police commercial vehicle enforcement). Maybe the reporter(s) would like to spend a couple of days as a commercial vehicle passenger to see what the truck driver has to deal with on an hourly basis (1) cars "break-checking" semi-trucks for fun, (2) distracted car drivers, (3) variable speed limit differences between cars & semis, (4) cars pulling in front of us/cutting us off in our "safe zone", (5) national shortage of semi-truck parking required for rest periods, (6) customers/brokers/dispatchers requiring faster delivery times than what is actually feasible for solo drivers. Such a shame because the loss of life is a tragedy. But stop villainizing the trucking industry because, without us, no one would have a reason to go shopping at their local store(s) and gas stations!!! We kept America open during the 2020 pandemic when everyone else was safely confined to their homes
The one Trucker shouldn't have mentioned he wasn't paying attention & doing his GPS, the other trucker was lucky to have Lisa sitting in his passenger seat.
Around 8-9 years ago, my mom and I were driving down the highway when a distracted trucker began to drift to the outside lane forcing us into a forest of many trees but luckily my mom was on high enough alert to see the truck and honk to stop the trucker. To this day, it’s still the scariest moment I’ve ever had on the road.
I’ll bet you fools were driving right in his blind spot!! How do you know he was distracted?? Do you even know where a trucks blind spot is?? If he hears your horn YOU WERE IN HIS BLIND SPOT!!! 2 sides to every story!!!
This is why I hate driving around any truck of any kind. One of them just took out my driver side mirror merging into my lane and didn't even stop. Probably didn't notice or care. I compare the trucks to big dumb animals with lower intelligence due to their big size creating so many blind spots for the drivers. Now I just hate driving around any truck or any kind
I want to clear something up here I drive a truck for a living. And I see more people driving a car holding their phone and texting. Don’t just single out the truck drivers because I have Had countless encounters with cars that have about run into me or pulled out in front of me using their phone. Why don’t you do a story on out of control cars causing horrible accidents involving other cars and truck drivers!!!!!
Yep I completely agree I’m always worried about other cars driving but I never worry about truck drivers I’ve had so many close calls with normal cars but only once with a truck and it was due to the cars in front of me slowing down to much on a highway on wet roads for no reason
But they’re putting themselves in danger when they do that, not you. When truck drivers text and drive they’re putting everyone but themselves in danger
Yrs ago, an 18 wheeler scrubbed the side of my door trying to get into my lane. We clocked him going 85 so my son could get his tag. The trucking company said that was impossible because they have "caps" on speed. Metropolitan lied. Obviously. This is not a new problem.
But this report won’t cover the dumb driving habits that 4 wheelers do like cutting truck drivers offer, brake checking and more. But this is more entertaining to watch. Sending healing energy to family’s that were lost involving a big rig accident.
I understand talking about all of this, but the stupidity of going in the middle of a highway at the end it’s really absurd…

I suffered torn ligaments in my legs, my back was messed up, a broken nose and hairline fracture in my shoulder. Were it not for a good samaritan and witnesses stopping to our aid, and a nearby convenience store which I assume some of the wreckage, would have been my word against hers.
RIP to all who lost their lives this truly hurts to see
I've said it for years .. trucks need their own roads.. there is no reason for 60000 pound vehicles to be on the same road as cars and motorcycle
These accidents kinda refers to me like a final destination film
So y’all report from the side of the highway!! Further distracting more truckers and other vehicles!! Wow
Green screen
They failed to mention THE IDIOTS I SEE pulling out in front of truck drivers and no im not a truck driver.
@@jacksonrelaxin3425 Nopez
@@jacksonrelaxin3425 not a green screen, but she’s not in a lane
They don’t care. They’re probably excited to have a story
For all the truckers - what's one thing you appreciate other drivers doing? My father was a truck driver and told me to flash my high beams to let passing trucks know when it was safe to merge into my lane. So it's something I do all the time.
edit - he drove a 18 wheeler for over 55 years.
Don't do it at night, you'll just blind the driver. But I appreciate when cars let me over or merge and don't travel next to me for extended amounts of time
Let me have the space around me as it's a whole lot easier for someone to get out of my way than it is for me to get out of their way.
I do it,but most don't even thank you
I turn my lights off real quick.Not high beams
Stop driving with your high beams on.
Proceeds to stand in the middle of the highway
Now imagine the carnage if all of these trucks were controlled by computers and the system "crashed". Just saying...
Every 15mins? Let's just stand in the middle of the freeway.
She’s clearly not in a lane
@@crazymoosee yeah, because when those trucks crash. They always stay in their lane. I forgot, my bad.
@@JokerBeJokingYT you think a truck is just going to suddenly happen to crash right next to her and roll over into her lane
If your that paranoid about everything, you shouldn’t be driving
@@crazymoosee I agree with everyone else here..
@@mr.pianist3174 did I ask?
Its not just truckers, I've seen regular cars, pickup, suvs- people just need to be cautious. Smaller cars tend to want to pass big rigs getting into truckers blind spots. Some truckers assume to merge without looking properly. It just goes both ways
They will also pull in front of trucks, completely oblivious to the danger that puts them in. Folks, trucks can't stop like cars can, they need much more room.
I had a car in El Paso get mad at me for passing him (in my truck) .. he was going abnormally slow. So he gets in front of me and slows me down.
I was hauling a 40,000lbs load and the stupid idiot would change to my lane whenever I changed. I literally had to slow down to like 30mph just to let him get as far away from me as possible.
"you think it's dangerous to even look at you're phone for a second while driving"......."yeah probably"
Lol he definitely was lying and put on blast
I'm a truck driver and if you want to get down to it take away delivery and unload times ... no schedule and plenty of rest for drivers and electronics on the truck no distractions and no rush that will stop accidents
We get paid per mile … what about that? That’s the main problem … salary every month and a good schedule makes it easier for us
Let’s not talk about the 4 wheelers constantly cutting off truckers to catch that last minute exit & brake checking truckers
Exactly!!!
💯💯
anyone else remember when the DOT told SWIFT to turn them trucks up because they were going too slow? I do. Maybe inside edition should do a week in the cab of a big rig, they would be shocked.
Inside edition couldn't handle a week in the hot seat
@@F239141 right lol people need take classes about things they shouldn’t do around truck way driving ever four years
So what happened in those videos? Looks like it was the trucks fault. Trucks can't stop on a dime but the truckers know this and still speed. But what do I know i just travel on two hwys each day for work. There must be something being overlooked during their training
@Old White Dude I bet that old truck doesn't stink near as bad as your ass!
Watch out gov might put governor s on all vehicles .next mandate .no one goes over seventy mph .
I am very lucky. In Houston, Arlington, and Kingwoodwhere I still and once lived, no accidents happened to me
“Yeah, probably” 😂
I am a truck driver, I've been in this industry for as long as I can remember and to see this saddens my heart. My thoughts and prayers gose out to the families and there lose of loved ones. I am truly sorry.
I've driven vehicles for 37 years, people wreck, people die. It didn't take this video to sadden my heart. LIfe happens and then it doesn't. If you don't want to sadden your heart, lock yourself inside and isolate all communication with the world. Then you won't have to be 'sad' when someone kicks the bucket.
@@capnobvious2718 you have missed this man's point. But that's ok, you sound like a sociopath anyways.
@@capnobvious2718 this comes from a person who doesn't let their emotions cloud their judgement the pure non sugary truth I completely agree still R.I.P to those who lost their lives
😢😢😢
A similar accident happens and later you found out that the truck driver did so to avoid another vehicle. Let's just not put it on the truckies...everyone on the road needs to be driving responsibly.
It is all on the truckies
@@ididntreallymeanit Nope it is up to all drivers to drive safe.
Go cry about it
Sorry for your loss.
'Elephants walking amongst mice' that's a great analogy.

Inside edition be like: we’ll bring out our truck crash expert to help us with this story
You 4 wheelers ain't no different I've seen you all playing with your phone as well
Let’s stand in the middle of a highway and talk about how often people get hit lol. Insanity
I don’t want this to appear to be blaming the victim, but seriously people need to realize you CANNOT stop on the highway - you need to pull off on the right hand side, no exception
Yeah like truckers cant stop if your 20 feet in front of em and slam on your brakes..
@@fostoriadistrictrailfan3907 agreed truckers need basically the length of a football field to stop if they're fully loaded sometimes two if the road conditions aren't ideal.
@@Trekeyus nah that is for a sedan not a car lol probably a few footbal fields
One of the cars were disabled and another in rush hour traffic and they were likely forced to stop.
@@nicholeb5987 NO EXCUSES you know when your car is breaking down
That’s extremely unfortunate.. However what is your deal always painting a negative picture about truck driver’s?… Would love a interview with your reporters.
They're hiring teens to drive these rigs, they can't handle a big rig on the roads not to mention they dont have enough experience as teens
@@thebella422 you cant drive a truck legally until you’re 18 in state. And you have to be 21 to drive state to state
@@thebella422 the MAJORITY of companies won't dare hire anyone under 21 specifically because to drive out of state you (federally required by law) have to be 21
@@chancebrown98 Not anymore. Inside edition did a video on it. Some 16 year old without a car license was driving a truck! Ridiculous!
@@mintyman1968 thats illegal
Why would you stand on the side of the road like that when your reporting about something like this. Real safe
dear god that is awful. i’m in tears
There's more 4 wheeler accidents than 18 wheelers accidents. But yeah, let's blame the truckers.
What I thought everyone drove something with 18 wheels u just stated the obvious
AND ALL OF THE DRIVERS WERE DISTRACTED. EXCEPT DRIVING AN 18 WHEELER WHILE DISTRACTED IS ALOT MORE DANGEROUS.
There's way more cars than trucks on the road, of course there's going to be more regular vehicle involved accidents.
18 wheelers ready more dangerous
@@queenjayjay5828 WRONG
Ask the government about the hours of service and you'll find out why this happens.
Exactly my thoughts. Drops 🎤
Please.....you don't what you're talking about
Drivers rarely sleep too.
@@abqpinkman You don't think that this is a problem??
She decides to do her news reporting at the most dangerous place in existence! lol!
Yeah probably was the best Awnser that he could have gave🤣🤣🤣😂
Ok if everyone is going 70 everyone I'd going 70. Like the guy said, he's going with the flow
Yes, in Georgia it's called the slowpoke law; though in some states like CA the fastest a semi is allowed to go is 55
Yeah if you’re driving a class C car but a Semi?! The breaking time is vastly different. No way should a semi driver be going with the flow of smaller cars around it. Simple math.
@@Abcdefghijk920 depends on the speed tbh, I wouldn't want a 80 mph semi, but not a 25 mph in a 35 zone
Yes, but there’s usually a different speed limit posted for semi-truck drivers…
@@bryanrmcf agreed and THAT is the problem. The variance in speed limits is what causes a lot of issues (trucks limited to 55, 4-wheelers at 70)
Now why is Lisa doing a live in the middle of the damn freeways... Smh
Being confronted by Lisa G should be enough to make everyone drive right.
She’s so 😭😭💀💀
It isnt just big rigs this applies to all types of cars and half the time its others cutting them off, stopping in the middle of the road and law enforcement not moving wrecks from the damn road.
I hate to say this but when they showed her singing and then said the talented musician I died laughing
They complain about the trucks even though they compose only 6.5% of all accidents. Normal vehicles cause roughly 5.5 million accidents a year. So if this seems bad.....you really need to open your eyes to reality of normal accidents. Semis weigh between 15,000lbs and 80,000lbs. Vs a normal vehicle usually weighing less than 5,000lbs. If you see a slow in traffic, put your hazards on for Semis to see, Stay out of blind spots, and be a on your toes in traffic. They can only do so much in such a large vehicle.
Exactly
Thank you! They never put their hazard lights on.
Her being in the middle of the road has a weird feeling to it .
seems abit insensitive to have all those people speaking about losing loved ones to then go and stand on a highway with lorrys doing 70mph
Love the reporter, reporting next to fast lane while people on their phones!!
For 4 years I drove from KC to Midland every month. From what I saw it was people in cars or SUVS getting butt hurt and deliberately cutting off semis or trying to start road rage.
This seems like a one-sided news article.
Oh yea there pushing for driverless trucks that’s all
lol
Speed? We have to race the 14 hour window which has NEVER made truckers safer
2:24 yup that’s the safest best place to be 😂😂
Every 15 minutes someone is involved in a truck collision *stands in middle of highway*
My first thought too 🤔😂
Parks car in the middle of the highway with a camera pointed at someone's face
How many in the passed hour?
damn never heard of a green screen?
@@blakeimmel4160 Couldn't be a green screen
Such a one-sided report!! She reports that cop pulls over truck after truck after truck -- of course, he does, that is his sole responsibility (Indiana state police commercial vehicle enforcement). Maybe the reporter(s) would like to spend a couple of days as a commercial vehicle passenger to see what the truck driver has to deal with on an hourly basis (1) cars "break-checking" semi-trucks for fun, (2) distracted car drivers, (3) variable speed limit differences between cars & semis, (4) cars pulling in front of us/cutting us off in our "safe zone", (5) national shortage of semi-truck parking required for rest periods, (6) customers/brokers/dispatchers requiring faster delivery times than what is actually feasible for solo drivers. Such a shame because the loss of life is a tragedy. But stop villainizing the trucking industry because, without us, no one would have a reason to go shopping at their local store(s) and gas stations!!! We kept America open during the 2020 pandemic when everyone else was safely confined to their homes
My company doesn't call it the "safe zone" but DEATH ZONE because any accident in this area death is higher outcome
2;30 she is doing a report on the dangers of big rigs whilst standing on a freeway as they pass by either side, lets hope they dont get distracted!!
*"Lisa Reports in the middle of the highway."*
*"Truck loses control and crashes into her killing her."*
*"Everybody Loved that.."*
One of the main problems is distracted driving and they’re out on the highway distracting drivers.
The one Trucker shouldn't have mentioned he wasn't paying attention & doing his GPS, the other trucker was lucky to have Lisa sitting in his passenger seat.
I could have sworn inside edition did a story about big truck companies teaching teenagers how to drive big rigs due to the shortage
Genius having Lisa stand in the “gore point “ on the freeway 👌…probably the most dangerous place you could ever stand on a freeway
Anything that BIG should be on a RAILROAD TRACK!
Around 8-9 years ago, my mom and I were driving down the highway when a distracted trucker began to drift to the outside lane forcing us into a forest of many trees but luckily my mom was on high enough alert to see the truck and honk to stop the trucker. To this day, it’s still the scariest moment I’ve ever had on the road.
Bet he was either sleepy or distracted.
I’ll bet you fools were driving right in his blind spot!! How do you know he was distracted?? Do you even know where a trucks blind spot is?? If he hears your horn YOU WERE IN HIS BLIND SPOT!!! 2 sides to every story!!!
@@jimmcgough6479 bruh lol Thats all i gotta say lol just bruh🤣 If they almost crashed into them they most likely were distracted
This is why I hate driving around any truck of any kind. One of them just took out my driver side mirror merging into my lane and didn't even stop. Probably didn't notice or care. I compare the trucks to big dumb animals with lower intelligence due to their big size creating so many blind spots for the drivers. Now I just hate driving around any truck or any kind
this happen to me like 2-3 month ago
I want to clear something up here I drive a truck for a living. And I see more people driving a car holding their phone and texting. Don’t just single out the truck drivers because I have Had countless encounters with cars that have about run into me or pulled out in front of me using their phone. Why don’t you do a story on out of control cars causing horrible accidents involving other cars and truck drivers!!!!!
🙏🙏👍👍👍
Yep I completely agree I’m always worried about other cars driving but I never worry about truck drivers I’ve had so many close calls with normal cars but only once with a truck and it was due to the cars in front of me slowing down to much on a highway on wet roads for no reason
Exactly!!!
But they’re putting themselves in danger when they do that, not you. When truck drivers text and drive they’re putting everyone but themselves in danger
Yrs ago, an 18 wheeler scrubbed the side of my door trying to get into my lane. We clocked him going 85 so my son could get his tag. The trucking company said that was impossible because they have "caps" on speed. Metropolitan lied. Obviously. This is not a new problem.
Once when I was 9 or 8 there was this out of control car that rammed into my car luckily nobody was injured or hurt in my family
2:24 good way to get yourself killed where you’re standing that’s kind of stupid
She’s clearly not in a lane genius
@@crazymoosee Yeah right genius me and 30 other people agree tell them that too
@@truckcamper5751 they’re just as genius as you
@@crazymoosee 0:24 you don’t have to be standing in the middle of a lane to have a semi coming at you at 70mph on its side
But this report won’t cover the dumb driving habits that 4 wheelers do like cutting truck drivers offer, brake checking and more. But this is more entertaining to watch. Sending healing energy to family’s that were lost involving a big rig accident.
Truckers should only be allowed in the far right lane, period!!! Standing where she did was absolutely asinine!!!
distance is the key to every problem
