  • Terrifying dashcam vision of a crash, which left a semi-truck precariously dangling from the edge of a Louisville bridge has been released.
    On March 1, the 26-year-old driver, Sydney Thomas, was airlifted to safety after nearly plunging into the Ohio River when attempting to avoid a vehicle swerving into her lane.
    The footage was shown in a U.S court this week. The driver of the swerving car, 33-year-old Jeffersonville man Trevor Branham, has been charged with wanton endangerment and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended licence.

      She kept her foot on the break and pedals the whole time after it happened and didn’t let go until she was being rescued. I’m so glad both her and the firefighter who rescued her were okay! It could’ve been a much worse accident considering she lost all power steering after the initial impact

    • @RandomNewsTV1
      @RandomNewsTV1 21 день тому +902

      They think she was steering after the hit when they have no idea the actual facts of what happened. When she got hit, it took out her steering ability so she couldn't turn either way. They think it's her fault for not steering. Low wit people will believe an entire story based on 5 seconds of no context.

    For those saying that she could've just turned: look at the cam inside the truck. She did try turning right but her direction was probably broken from the hit, or the company was using discontinued trucks. She prob also tried using the brakes but they take too long, same for the handbrake. She did the right thing, but now the mystery is if the company let her drive a discontinued truck or not

    The pickup driver , Trevor Branham, was speeding and weaving through traffic on the bridge. He swerved to avoid an electric vehicle that had stalled but struck the rear of the vehicle, then careened into the semi. . He was charged with four counts of wanton endangerment and driving on a suspended license. Sydney Thomas, age 26, a military veteran, and mother of a five-year old son was driving the semi for Sysco. She is the daughter of a semi-truck driver. She gave her first interview in May and stated the semi's steering was lost upon impact with the pickup. The Clark Memorial Bridge spans the Ohio River connecting Jeffersonville, IN to Louisville. NOTE: information regarding Clark Memorial Bridge. A four lane bridge with no emergency lanes. An average of 24K vehicles cross the bridge daily. Eighty-three accidents occurred on the bridge in 2023.

    Yall saying she caused this when somebody pulled into oncoming traffic right in front of her are absolutely wild
    Edit 3: Before the other edits because some of yall can't be bothered to read. Just because YOU don't see any comments saying it was her fault after scrolling for a few seconds, does NOT mean there weren't any when the video first got posted. Obviously those comments mostly got buried.
    Edit: There are also so many of you that don't know your left from your right. She steered right to stay on the road. The police report put full fault on the pickup, who was also driving on a suspended license and weaving through traffic. The collision took out her steering so there was NOTHING she could have done.
    Edit 2: And semis can't just "brake" quickly for all you slow ones who don't understand how momentum works.

    Something similar happened on I-84 in southernIdaho a few years back. A pickup pulling a travel trailer went over the side of a bridge at the WORST possible place, spanning the deep Malad Gorge. The pickup went over the side and was kept hanging by its connection to the trailer which remained on the roadway. It was horribly touch and go for rescuers, knowing that the ball hitch was the ONLY thing preventing that truck from falling to the bottom of the chasm. But both husband and wife were successfully rescued. Just goes to show how tough those trailer hitches are! Sadly, the pickup and the trailer were their ONLY possessions.

Firefighters shouldn’t be praised when they put themselves in danger trying to save someone like in this scenario because it’s just their job.

Majority of these people don’t seem to grasp basic driving skills or if they have a driver’s license, they need to get it revoked. They’re a danger to the public.
      Seeing how she’s on the right side, she’s from the US. So that being said, in the first couple of seconds of the video, it shows she was struck by an on coming car attempting to illegally overtake the car in front of them. This lead that idiot car to crash into this lady’s semi truck.
      With the force of impact, it only makes sense that the sense of direction and the position of her vehicle has been pushed into an uncontrollable direction. Hence why she tried to correct the vehicle, but was unable to due to the impact. This led to her vehicle’s hood falling off the bridge.
      “Some” people in the comments are blaming her for crashing into the rails and going off the bridge. These are the same people who get into car crashes and blame the other side when they themselves are the main purpose of the crash.
