This video sure gives me extra precautions. Stay away far as I could from big vehicles. Don’t be in their blind spot. Do not pick the middle lane if there are two lanes for turning. Don’t be in hurry. A few seconds faster don’t make any different and if it keeps you alive always let those who in hurry passing. You can’t count on others but yourself. Life is precious and there are more to explore and to be happy.
I'm a truck driver and I've seen all type of drivers... the ones who take extra care to trucks and give us way and room to turn, and the ones that keep driving in our blindspot... by the way, the person driving at 5:05 must be on his phone or not concentrated at all... you could see the truck broken down with hazard lights on from far, and he jammed into it. He had plenty of time to change lanes...
@@nenabunena It absolutely is the drivers responsibility to know the height of his vehicle, and in the case of flatbeds, to know how tall the crap on you trailer is. And the dimensions of the load dictate whether or not you need to be routed a specific way to avoud obstacles. Also, if your load is that large or heavy, the states issuing the load permits will indicate if you need a specific route and escort vehicles. What I really don't understand, however, is just how completely stupid a dumptruck driver has to be to drive off with his damned bed still raised.
"Don’t be in their blind spot. Do not pick the middle lane if there are two lanes for turning." This happened to me on a long right curve. I was in middle lane and trucker to the right of me, just moved me over 2 lanes to the left. Luckily no one was in the left lanes, but scared the crap out of me seeing the truck moving into my lane and then doing it again. I stay away from trucks as much as possible.
@5:13 That is I-80 East in California. That particular curve is just after a quarter mile downgrade. I drive tankers to Redwood City, then back to Sacramento going that way. I always take it slow. Speed is 55, but I take it closer to 45. It’s just after Pinole. That person in the SUV is foolish. Slow down everybody. Truck Drivers, motorcycle riders, and “4 wheelers”.

That is enough for a disaster to happen. U don't even realise you're sleeping. Its important for truckers to get enough sleep and stop at side of the road to wash their face and load up the caffine for long continuous rides
A lot of truckers are known not to get the rest they need. Supposed to rest every 8 hours or something like that, but they can be pushed and pressured.

@@Noone-rt6pw Aye, I have been a trucker for 44 YEARS.

But drivers like to work less hours as a result, work illegally especially speeding. I have been overtaken by artics, who should know better, when travelling at 50mph on a single track road or tailgated with flashing lights to pressure me to speed up, has yet to work.
You would think with all the modern technology, the driver could simply enter their vehicle height and the navigation app could find a route with acceptable clearances for overpasses.
I know for Europe, you can purchase special Navigation Systems for trucks. You find narrow roads, maximum weight limits for bridge crossing, narrow curves, and, of course, height limits. But those are expensive. So, many heavy transport drivers use passenger car systems, resulting in bringing themselves or others in trouble now and then. You can do that, of course.

Those people belong behind no steering wheel, imho.
@@andeekaydotfirst: I'm a driver in the US, & you can buy a GPS like you mentioned for trucks. They are expensive, around $600 USD. Second: NEVER trust a GPS fully.

That scene at 1:02 that many others have commented on. I rewinded that one a few times. I’m a truck driver myself. I wonder what it would have felt like in the cab to have that happen to you. The suddenness of that violence the driver experienced from out of nowhere. Everyone on here saying he died instantly. But the load didn’t go through the cab. And if he had a seatbelt he survived. But he would have practically died from the shock. I mean, usually you “see it coming” with a lot of these other accidents. But imagine randomly stopping at a stop light and suddenly in less that a second you hear a severely loud boom and you flip completely horizontal. Shit.
unless the metal sheet went under the cab and sliced it off he’s most likely dead. at the very least legless. if the cab wasn’t fully above the load there’s major major injuries or death.
The funny thing about the truck hitting the bridge is that the driver obviously doesn't know its coming, just cruising along, nothing in front of him and then all of a sudden, the cab jumps up in the air.
@@richardyoung9024 I'm referring to the very first clip. The guy is driving with the trailer up in the air behind him. Nobody in front of him, just driving along, and suddenly his cab jumps up in the air. That's got to be a mindfuck of some sort, don'tch'a think? And there's no bridge height that will accommodate that driver error.
Any truck driver that doesn't know the height length and width of their vehicle or their load that they're hauling from a trailer that they just picked up deserves to have their license REVOKED I don't care what part of the world you're on but especially in America. You can't be that dumb driving under bridges. Or falling asleep when coming up to a stop light for some reason they all say that their brakes failed. When everyone knows most of you were either on your cell phone or you fell asleep at the wheel. So you can miss me with that BS.
Wrong. "Most" are driven by the best drivers on the road. All with 1000x the experience of 95% of the rest of the populace. You only notice the ones that wreck or get in your way.
There’s a bridge in my hometown that so many trucks have crashed into because they thought that they could clear it, and then soon realized after they sheered off part of their truck…
This happened near me a few year ago on a major bridge (ON the bridge, he hit the structural stuff up above the roadway). People were honking, waving and even brake checking him lightly all the way up the bridge (it's a big one over a shipping lane) but the guy was a new immigrant from India, almost no driving experience and drunk. Bridge was closed for ages while they fixed his damage. Luckily there's a newer twin bridge right next to it so it didn't just shut down the entire highway for weeks.
It's smart to keep an eye on rear view mirror too, as well as side view. Some would do good watching in front of them. Watch this things and think what you would do would help.have a plan.
Just today having to pass city bus going way above speed limit despite city lowering speeds this year. Probably had too long of a smoke break had to make up time.
The first one that smashed the bridge: it was more convenient for you to film it rather than trying to get in front of that truck and try to stop him from an inevitable collision. You saw the whole thing long before it happened, but chose to film in order to get views.
A majority of our trucking contracts in the USA have been given to illegal aliens with virtually no training and ability to read signs, leading to the exponential increase of these accidents. They were almost unheard of when skilled drivers ruled the road.

Navigation apps & devices rely on what they have entered in their computer database, those databases are not always updated, & are only as reliable as the people who enter the information.
Ive been a truck driver for over 30 years, you don't have any clue how many times a GPS fails! NEVER fully trust a GPS or navigation app. They CAN & WILL lead you down the wrong road!!
Every time I arrive at home in my car and park in the garage, my GPS says: "If possible, please turn around". These things are stupid like breads.
@@timothygeiger8271hi there how are you doing
The soothing music is a nice touch
Agradeça sempre a Deus depois de uma viagem sem acidentes !
If you go to 2:08 and play it at .25 speed you will see the 8 luckiest people who ever lived !!
Omg..new fear unlocked...my God! rest in peace to all the fatalities in this video . Smh. Terrifying
Your gods the one that caused them where was he when they were happening if hes so good
@@brianpeterson1962 🙄
3:01 Absolutely nothing happened in this clip. I enjoyed watching the car make a right hand turn & drive by. 🤭
That scene at 1:02 that many others have commented on. I rewinded that one a few times. I’m a truck driver myself. I wonder what it would have felt like in the cab to have that happen to you. The suddenness of that violence the driver experienced from out of nowhere.
Everyone on here saying he died instantly. But the load didn’t go through the cab. And if he had a seatbelt he survived. But he would have practically died from the shock. I mean, usually you “see it coming” with a lot of these other accidents. But imagine randomly stopping at a stop light and suddenly in less that a second you hear a severely loud boom and you flip completely horizontal.
Shit.
Looks like it sliced him in half or decapitated him.
It is really sad, I hope he survived. On the other hand, truckers must take the necessary caution to secure their loads
He lived
@@chuckandy3d249proof?
unless the metal sheet went under the cab and sliced it off he’s most likely dead. at the very least legless. if the cab wasn’t fully above the load there’s major major injuries or death.
@1:02... that must have killed the driver.
Looked like it slid inder the cab, took it clear of the chassis.
@7:33 Why on Earth did the cammer stop filming at that point? I wanted to see whether the Ghost Ambulance took the exit or not!
The soothing music is a nice touch
The funny thing about the truck hitting the bridge is that the driver obviously doesn't know its coming, just cruising along, nothing in front of him and then all of a sudden, the cab jumps up in the air.
There is a simple solution to prevent any of these truck bridge collisions. Construct the bridges with increased clearances to the road beneath it!
@@richardyoung9024
I'm referring to the very first clip. The guy is driving with the trailer up in the air behind him. Nobody in front of him, just driving along, and suddenly his cab jumps up in the air. That's got to be a mindfuck of some sort, don'tch'a think?
And there's no bridge height that will accommodate that driver error.
The ambulance one at 7:22 was hilarious. It would have been the first unit to the scene for that accident. 😂
Those big trucks make me nervous. Some of them speed too!
Idk why I laughed so hard at 1:01😂🤣😅
he got sliced in 2
@@blackhousetv2992 I don't see how that's funny at all.

The poor sheet metal dude! 😢
That laughter squeal at the end😂😂😂
How are you doing
I need to buy a dash cam for real!
@Hello How are You doing .? Hope you’re doing good
5:08 the first time the cameraman ever died 💀
WOW this should be a instructional video used to teach driver's how not to drive! Seriously.. WOW 😲
Seems the lack of drivers attention to the task at hand is the issue...
@@rsinclair689 And a heaping helping of complete stupidity.
That EMT driver went above and beyond to make an emergency response I salute you !! 7:23
Any truck driver that doesn't know the height length and width of their vehicle or their load that they're hauling from a trailer that they just picked up deserves to have their license REVOKED I don't care what part of the world you're on but especially in America. You can't be that dumb driving under bridges. Or falling asleep when coming up to a stop light for some reason they all say that their brakes failed. When everyone knows most of you were either on your cell phone or you fell asleep at the wheel. So you can miss me with that BS.
Exactly!!!
Agreed 💯
100%
Right! There're signs that will alert drivers to height restrictions, and let them know if trucks are even allowed on a particular road.
@@JG-tr9py if the community and the dot on state routes aren't neglectful in making sure the signs are posted and not stolen or torn down.
0:18 few minutes lefts in delivery . Brother goin mad in ats 😂
Always stay as far as possible of big trucks while driving. Most are driven by real animals!
What a stupid thing to say.
Wrong. "Most" are driven by the best drivers on the road. All with 1000x the experience of 95% of the rest of the populace. You only notice the ones that wreck or get in your way.
@Alex connor @a
Yet the same toilet paper you use to wipe your ass/vagina is delivered by the truckers you so hate...think about it
What a stupid narrow minded comment 🙄.
7:12 that’s interstate 270 in Rockville, Maryland
Outstanding carnage! Really good stuff!
There’s a bridge in my hometown that so many trucks have crashed into because they thought that they could clear it, and then soon realized after they sheered off part of their truck…
Ahh yes, the sardine can openers. We have a few in Scranton, too.

@@EnlightnMe48 so you checked that out huh? Lol
Crazy stuff
Love your video
The car in the first one could have tried to warn the guy his truck's trailer was tilted.
He did, he was honking for quite some time.
This happened near me a few year ago on a major bridge (ON the bridge, he hit the structural stuff up above the roadway). People were honking, waving and even brake checking him lightly all the way up the bridge (it's a big one over a shipping lane) but the guy was a new immigrant from India, almost no driving experience and drunk. Bridge was closed for ages while they fixed his damage. Luckily there's a newer twin bridge right next to it so it didn't just shut down the entire highway for weeks.

1:02 ....that guy is D-E-A-D. How many injured or dead at 2:07? And another dead at 5:48. ALL PREVENTABLE.
.
It's smart to keep an eye on rear view mirror too, as well as side view. Some would do good watching in front of them.
Watch this things and think what you would do would help.have a plan.
Not sure how many people died in this video, but I bet the guy @1:05 is only half the man he used to be 🤣
Oh my god you are so clever! Congratulations on the great comment.

Looks like the truck driver didn't make it out alive
1:02 no way he survived this
Lots of turbins and sandals....
Everyone hates being behind a truck. Everyone feels lucky being in front of one.
Just today having to pass city bus going way above speed limit despite city lowering speeds this year.
Probably had too long of a smoke break had to make up time.

I've never heard a screaming yodel before.
This is the most horrific crash video I've ever seen. people definitely died in some of these accidents.
Seriously.. WOW 😲

The first one that smashed the bridge: it was more convenient for you to film it rather than trying to get in front of that truck and try to stop him from an inevitable collision. You saw the whole thing long before it happened, but chose to film in order to get views.
5:52 it was a man on the bridge?
I didn't know but the bridge collapsing on that idiot driver is one of the most satisfying thing I ever saw. he fully deserve it
The world's most incredible drivers
Great videos, cheers for posting! 5:37 whilst recording a crash the bloke was only thinking about a 'Meal Deal!' 😂😉.

The catchy tune had me snapping my thumbs and bouncing my feet.
I PRAY EVERYONE IS OKAY 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Driving is the most dangerous thing I do. I always stay away from big trucks and keep eye on rear view mirror when stopped.
Sound, no Sound; Music, no Music;
May be you should do some quality control for the clips you rip of.
Okay, the Ambulance one at about 7:25 in was pretty funny - didn’t look like anyone hurt or anything. Just the ambulance coming off the flatbed. 🤭
A majority of our trucking contracts in the USA have been given to illegal aliens with virtually no training and ability to read signs, leading to the exponential increase of these accidents. They were almost unheard of when skilled drivers ruled the road.
