- Just before 7 am Cleveland Police took a call from a motorist who was eastbound on SH 105 approaching the 105 Bypass west of Cleveland. It was reported a silver Toyota Corolla was traveling eastbound driving erratically with its flashers on. The reporter stated the driver would speed up to 70 then slow down to 30. Just 10 minutes later another call came in reporting a Toyota Corolla had crossed the centerline of Loop 105 over I-69 and was hit by an 18-wheeler. Units responded to the scene and found the Toyota fully involved in fire with the driver trapped. In addition, a silver Nissan was about 200-feet from the scene with an object through the windshield. Over three football fields further west of the burning vehicle was an 18-wheeler with heavy right trailer damage. The tanker was carrying the very dangerous polypropylene. There was no leak, however. Sgt Edwards with Cleveland Police Department investigated the crash. Due to the HAZMAT Loop 105 was closed completely around Cleveland and will be most likely through Saturday night as a load of chemicals is transferred to another tanker. Edwards said the Toyota crossed all the lanes and was struck by the right rear of the tanker trailer, THe damage sheared the axle and blew the right-side tires. Even with the extensive damage, Edward commended the driver for how she was able to maintain control of the truck for almost 1000 feet without rolling over. The driver of the Toyota was burned beyond recognition and has not yet been identified. There was no Identification to be found and the VIN numbers and license plates were destroyed by the fire. A Nissan that was traveling west behind the 18-wheeler had the windshield wiper motor of the Toyota go through the windshield. Smith Towing and J+J Wreckers removed the cars from the scene. The tanker has to have the chemical pumped which could last through the night. The fire Department is monitoring the situation and an area of 1/2 miles was evacuated while the transfer was taking place.
OMG! Terrible accident, RIP. But, I have to add that a trucker's life isn't an easy one. Bless all truckers, stay safe!
Amen bless all truck driver 🙏 for their safety
Im greatful the truck driver maintained control of a loaded tanker containing hazardous material not letting a single drop leak out.... As for the passenger car driver who passed my condolences there is more to this than just an "accident"
Stop making Truck dtiver to be the cause...blame the driver of car going way to fast. The deceased is mot a victim but selfish dangetous person that could have killed a family while he is driving high on meth
A truckers life is much easier than the car they ran over. It's not close.
@@jwise5204 without truckers no one would have much of a life period. In this case the car rear-ended the 18 wheeler. Another one bites the dust.
I worked in chemical tankers for many years and my husband is a driver and does tanks. I give kudos to all the drivers because I know how incredibly dangerous it is. This poor driver! Even though it is not her fault I will bet this will haunt her. It is a shame some people do not take driving seriously and realize how in the blink of an eye your life is gone or completely changed forever! So sad!
You could already see her emotions as she stood there with her head down.😪
@@mariayoung8860 yeah I could as well. I feel really bad for her. This can't be an easy thing to deal with.
@@mariayoung8860 she knows she mucked up
Very lucky the car dislodged from tanker..full of flammable
@John Smith well you government mother fuckers passed elogs no wonder they rush
Just terrible, I’m a retired police office and have seen my share of these accidents. I love my beer every now and then but people please stop driving a motor vehicle when you drink. You think you are fine, you think you can drive just normal but I’m sorry you can’t. Maybe everybody before getting a license should have to watch about 12 hours of dead bodies being pulled out of vehicle.
Yep..agree. I'm 51 and when we got our driver's permits we had to watch a bunch of movies one of them was called red asphalt. These videos however make me cringe, and I've seen everything I thought I could see as an ICU rn..CLEARLY diff perspective, but you kwim. To the police officer Kama a similar situation arose here 3 years ago as I lived 20 minutes from parkland Florida and Marjorie stone in high school. Somehow somehow a video from inside the school popped up and and before I could realize what I was watching I was watching it... As a mom of high school children I was physically sit was physically sick even though you could not see graphically graphically anything you could still see blood and children on the floor. I can't to this day get it out of my head and I never will.. I was so upset thinking thinking people had to see that and maybe the families had to see that period period until my daughter said to me mom, maybe, everyone needs to see that Do you understand what's happening in the schools. Perhaps she was correct. Because the impact had on me forever changed the visual I had in my own head. Just like you hear about accidents but until you see it smell it taste it you know what I mean. Know my daughter did not see the video but but I still to this day think maybe everyone should maybe everyone should when it comes to the gun issue. Praying for all those involved
IF* the body is still a body....😢
@@Dani-ICU-RN here in Indiana when I was doing drivers ed in early 70’s we saw red asphalt. One kid had to leave the room. When you see people turned to chunks of meat in a mangled vehicle it stays with you. I don’t think the kids see such films anymore. I’m now a retired truck driver with 40 yrs of driving trucks of different sizes and job classes. I do not miss it especially how the attitudes of a lot of drivers are. The highway is a dangerous place. You see people on side of road for no real good reason except to bs with someone ( I seen this once and the guy was talking to the driver of the other car and his ass was hanging over the fog line ) not thinking they could be hit or cause someone to crowd someone into another vehicle. Kudos to the lady for keeping the truck up. That car must of crossed under trailer to hit that side of truck or something. Good thing it didn’t blow that tanker. Rough on all involved as always.
Even if new Drivers are taught basic Physics, like: IMPACT = MASS X VELOCITY. You're always going to come off the worst, if the vehicle that you hit is twenty times the mass of your vehicle.
What was that object that went through the car window? The silver car that had very little damage, maybe a part of one of the vehicles?
That poor semi driver. She’s going to remember that for the rest of her life. Impaired drivers impact so many lives.
Prayers to all involved but I have to say kiddos to the truck driver. This could have been so much worse with more fatalities if she would not have handled and controlled her rig. Not an easy task. And to know she got it 1000 feet away and away from car on fire, quick thinking and awesome truck driver. I hope her company realizes what a great mission she accomplished.
*kudos* 🤗
If she's working for a company, they'd better give her a hefty raise.
Heniff was not that great of a company to it's employees (speaking in the past). Not sure if they have changed any in the last few years but poor driver if they have not.
@@Ms.Monte_CarloSS I hope she's recognized in some fashion....that was one outstanding piece of driving after that violent impact.
@@danielhartin7680 you and me both. She did do an outstanding job keeping it upright. She had a flammable load on her, and this could have been much worse. I know this will haunt her because I know everything that could have happened is running through her mind along with someone losing their life. I worked in chemical tankers for 20 years so I am familiar with it all. A hell of a bad way to start the new year!
That driver did a hell of a job not rolling over!!!
My prayers are with the trucker. RIP to the person who hit it!
Maybe this is insensitive to say, but I'm glad that for once it was the bad/intoxicated/erratic driver that was lost. Not some innocent person going to see their family. If was the smaller car that took the hit, and not the semi carrying toxic chemicals, it would have been the more common (it seems) outcome, where the innocent driver dies.
Sorry for the loss nonetheless. We take keys from drunk people, let them call the cops on you for hiding their keys and see how that turns out.
Where does it say the deceased driver was intoxocated? The driver could have been in the process of a medical emergency, trying to drive to help. Not many, if ANY, drunk drivers engage their emergency flashers...
@@shawnmayer7849 -In reading the descroption, intoxicated was not what came to mind. Although I am considering a bad drug reaction, medical issue, or possibly responding to an emergency, possibly texting involved. This could explain the high speeds, then the slowing (when doing the texting).
You seem to be assuming way more than what can be gathered from the ACTUAL information given...
Where do you get intoxicated, or a bad driver from? There's nothing stated here that even gives that impression. The impression I gather from this is medical emergency, or possibly an issue with the vehicle itself. I believe Toyota (could have been another car maker, tho) actually had a recall on their sedans, not too long back, for the accelerator sticking, and the breaks to fail.
An entire family lost their lives in one of those incidents, while on the phone with 911. The vehicle kept speeding up and slowing down a tad, but it wouldn't let them stop.
So before you pass judgement, wait until you know more.
My condolences to this person and their loved ones.
In regards to my last comment. Yes, it was Toyota that had the recall for accelerator issues. The family involved all perished, and the driver/ father was a CHP officer, on his way to his daughters soccer game.
Here's one snippet regarding it and after the quote, I will post the link to the 911 audio of the family that lost their lives. Fair warning, it's not an easy thing to listen to, knowing they lost their lives.
But just want to show you why your comment is actually very insensitive... when we have no answers as to why they crashed, at this time. Could very well be that make and model of Toyota....
"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that from 2000 to mid-May, it had received more than 6,200 complaints involving sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles. The reports include 89 deaths and 57 injuries over the same period. Previously, 52 deaths had been suspected of being connected to the problem."

As a retired driver? I feel bad for the CDL involved... does not matter who was at fault, just a trauma that a driver does not need...
Fact. My dad hit a truck head on just before my 18th birthday. I got my CDL at 21, I'm now 41. People always ask me how I could be a driver after knowing my dad died that way. I tell em I dont think about it. While I miss my dad, he's in a better place. If I feel for anyone, it's the driver that had to live on with that memory. He had to go back to work to support his family. The responders that worked the scene and had to go home to their families and act normal. Aint gonna lie, not sure what I would do if that happened to me.
Suffering is for the living.
This could have been way worse. What a wonderful skilled 18 wheeler driver. Plus she was female!! God Bless her! I hate this had to happen but her skills saved her life as well because if it was a roll over crash it’s possible the tank could have blown.
What does her being female have to do with anything
Plus she was FEmale! Is the Future FEmale?!
Guys please don’t turn this comment into a gender issue! I simply complimented her on skills. Happy New Year Folks!
Not likely to blow..........she was hauling polypropylene.
@@LAGASGAL "plus she was female" what's that even supposed to mean
Propylene oxide flash point -35°f. Pretty much as flammable as gasoline. This could have been much worse. I hope the truck driver is ok, that is a tough thing to go through. She did good keeping it upright and out of oncoming traffic.
@Rex Ruth I think it is used in plastics
I haul liquid ammonium nitrate in Canada 40 metric tonns..the blast in Beirut Lebanon was from 2700 American towns i blow it takes out everything up to 15km or 8 to 12 miles
Whenever I am down. Head over to Scott's Channel and be thankful that I still have a chance whereas some never again. 🙏 RIP.
I was just thinking that.Sobbing as you tube came on.this popped up..omg..I'll stop bi#ching
Thank you for the very precise and detailed description of the incident. May the driver RIP. It’s an awful way to go.
The person in the Nissan had their angel with them, that is for certain, and also the truck driver, to be able to bring her truck to a safe stop. What a traumatic scene for everyone.
IS that a Starter motor off the burnt car? DAAANNNNNGGGG.

Total Respect for the Big Rig drivers. 🙂
Speed, alcohol and stupidity. A bad combination.
Alcohol was not cited in the article. Since the fire destroyed the vin plates, there are probably no remains to test for it.
That truck driver did a fantastic job of saving her freight she should get an award I think that Nissan or Toyota rather had a death wish driving with their flashes on erratic and then 10 minutes later suicide by truck what a shame God bless you truck driver
If that was the intention of the driver, and they deliberately chose that truck, then they got the fiery end that they were aiming for, but fortunately took nobody else with them. That’s a small miracle right there. Guardian angels were watching over the truck driver and the Nissan driver too.
Kudos to The Heniff Driver! Without her expertise, many another life could have been lost. The person that will probably be reported missing before he can be identity. Everyone, please drive safely!❤
They can track the driver down by who the car was registered to and there’s also a possibility that they can still retrieve the drivers info from the license if he had it in his wallet (this is if it’s a male driver) in his back pocket cause the seat back and bottom were not burned which means the wallet was not burned more than likely. If it’s a female driver and she had a purse then all bets are off
@@1982MCI ok all solved now, thanks for that Columbo.
@David Smith…..LOL!
@@DavidSmith-sf4dr 😂
@@1982MCI The cars vin number and tag were completely destroyed, as was the body. There is no wallet.
For new year, I stayed home, like I did last year, and the year before. This is why. It happens way too often. Please don’t drink and drive.
Same here. I don't care enough to risk my life to see some fireworks.

@@shawnmayer7849 A family member of the deceased driver responded to the post that he had left the family party against their wishes and was in her words ( wasted). I am basing my post on the fact that if people at the party said he was wasted, he was at least impaired.
@@lauraradigan4114 thank you, you responded more quickly than I could. This guy shouldn't have died. I feel terrible for the family
I stay home December 31 and January 1 as well. Too many drunk drivers on New Year's Eve and Day.
I commend the semi driver for keeping the rig on the road after experiencing such a terrible accident. Whoever died in that car was maybe having a medical emergency. I quit driving on New Years Eve a long time ago. Way to many drunks on the road. I feel much safer at home. RIP
No. Apparently someone who knew his family said he was drunk and they begged him to not drive.
Me to I stop driving on days I know are holidays and weekends
I used to drive. On new years eve my company requested all drivers be off the road..ie at a rest area or truck stop by 4 pm. If I had the time which I did id be off the road at my lunchbreak.
People Please! Ubers are cheap! Just do it.
Can you imagine how that Trucker felt? Having to witness the whole thing!
Thank god the tank driver survived and likely saved others from death. I hope the driver is mentally ok as well
SHE IS
Kudos to the truck driver. Incredible job avoiding further tragedy.
This car had to have been moving at its maximum possible speed to destroy that engine and transmission to that extent.
The impact damage to the trailer, from a small car like that is amazing.
Condolences to the family of the deceased. So sad. Alcohol and driving don't mix. Not long ago in my neighborhood 3 women in their 30's, best friends - who were very inebrieated, loaded into a car to get ice for their 3 family backyard party. 2 minutes later 2 of them were dead and the other seriously injured. The drunk driver sped down a neighborhood road at 60+, literally flew across a 4 lane highway (just missing an innocent driver) and slammed into a convenience store. The store was totally destroyed, lucky no one was in the store at the time. 4 children motherless and 2 widowers now. The driver who survived goes to jail. 3 familes devastated because of bad judgement. When will our society make it so bad of an outcome to drink and drive that people will stop. Look at several countries in Europe, severe penalities and jail time for DUI without any accidents or injuries.
How do you know there was alcohol when they can't even id the car??..just sayin.
No, I don't drink.
@@Dani-ICU-RN he’s talking about something that happened in his own neighborhood. Not about this accident.
@@Dani-ICU-RN Probably not alcohol. At 7:00am, probably gacked on coke and molly.
Have you looked around at people on their goddam phones. I drive 40-50,000 miles/year and I swear...one out of 4 drivers these days has got a phone in their hand. This is getting to be an epidemic. But nobody gets upset about it because.......YOU'RE ALL DOING IT!
@@broeheemed32 I totally believe that it's drugs and alcohol that are destroying America!
most truckers are better drivers than your average guy. There are rules and safety and endorsements that you must strictly follow being an owner or operating. Good job controlling that rig. I have utmost respect for truckers.
people dont realize how big and heavy these rigs are, i was passing one in a heavy rain storm, lost my wipers, thought ''this is it'' ... i held the wheel straight and slowed down, never did any thing that dumb again, if your late for a meeting ... oh well, better to be alive
Oh, people realize it. Those are the people who don’t crash into them. The ones who don’t realize it end up like the person in that Toyota….burnt to a crisp.
You really think people don't realize how big and heavy a damn semi is?
Seeing this video should be a wakeup to us all, people are driving way too fast. Truckers included, life is too short to be so foolish. Prayers for all families involved
Speed had absolutely nothing to do with this accident. I guess guns are bad too, right?
Erratic driving, speed changing and being on the wrong side of the road. Speed was no concern. But yeah.
Man what a shame! I used to investigate fatality accidents with my Auto Tech Teacher in high school. Every fatality accident we always found the shoes of the deceased in the car close to where they were seated. Does anyone know why that is? Just so you know we did the report and investigation usually inside the shop of the company that towed the car. My teacher and I went to all of the fire stations and had all of the tow companies to tell them how we would like the cars handled at the scene. He told the firemen to just cut the negative battery cable and to leave everything as it was so all switches, climate control settings, radio etc…..all to be where they were that fateful day. We checked tires date codes, manufacturers, tread depth if they were a matching set or mismatched, we then checked the brake pads, measuring the pad material left, rotor thickness, drum brakes thickness of brake shoes, drum diameter. We checked for where the radio loudness level, climate control defrost, ac, heat. Lights if they worked or not and if damaged in wreck……was a real eye opener for an 18 year old. This was back in 1985-86. Most cars still had carburetors, drum brakes in the rear, power steering power brakes, manual roll up/down windows……was a great time working with my teacher who has since passed away May he RIP!
Idk why but I've noticed when these are posted they seem to show a shoe that's not on a foot
@@davids5006 The shoe phenomena really intrigues me on its own, but I also wonder how many of these shoes still include the foot.
The shoe is an item not even close to a window, and is often (what I think) secured on the foot.
I would be very interested to see a scientific example as to how/why this happens.
Was ejected from a car in 1985. Still here to talk about it... and I'll never forget walking up in the bushes 50 ft away from the car. No shoes or socks. I never found them.
It's like the table-cloth trick, when you snatch it away, items on top of the table remain. Gravity pulls on every object individually. If you crash into a pedestrian fast enough, you can knock them out of their shoes, glasses or hat, and all articles will remain at the point of impact. I don't know the scientific term for it, but it stems from gravity.
@@happyamericandude Liar !
Great job to the truck driver. She handled that big rig! This could have been soooo much worse. Condolences to the deceased family.the car was clearly at fault,hence all the calls to 911 by other drivers . Be that as it may, what a horrible way to lose your life.
This is why you don't drink and drive...This happens way too often
THIS LOOKED MORE LIKE BLOOD SUGAR CRASH.
@@ronniewall1481 guess we'll never know. The body was burned beyond recognition.
Driver of the car was identified. Family member of the car driver commented on here that the driver left a family NYE party drunk. Family members begged him not to leave and drive. He refused and left drunk anyway. So horrible. Condolences to his family.
@@tdpooh1972 HOW DID THEY NOT CALL POLICE?
@@ronniewall1481 that's a fair point
There is literally nothing left of that car, I'm in shock
TRUCKS ARE 80,000LS
Thank you for all your hard work. You all are in my Prayers as well as everyone else that don’t want to be hurt by careless individuals. in God We Trust. Amen 🙏🏾
Facts. I try not to judge but 99% sure it was alcohol related. That doesn't take away from the grief a family will suffer and that poor truck driver. Hats off to her for maintaining her truck, this could have been soooo much worse. Prayers to all 🙏
You know it's a bad one when the wiper motors are being flung through windshields.
The 18 wheeler was the equalizer in this case...It prevented the person from potentially colliding with another vehicle and killing other innocent people...Thank the Lord for the 80,000 pound mean green machine for stopping the driver of the car.
That's why we call tanker drivers Suicide Jockey's they are playing Russian Roulette every time they leave the yard. She must have dropped a load in her pants when she felt the impact and seen the fire ball. But she still had the wits to drag the trailer as far as she could away from the crash site. I hope her company gives her a nice bonus for saving other people's lives.
Poor EMS, police and all responders involved.
Don’t wanna hear well it’s their job
Yes it is! But if you had to deal with this - imagine your own mental well being seeing some of the most horrific injuries and fatalities.
This leaves a lifetime scar in their mind
Local volunteer firefighters are pulling bodies out of cars regularly.
@@alsehl3609 so so sad 😞
It IS their job and they do it because they choose to do it or they would quit and find another occupation. Stop feeling bad for these first responders. They love this stuff or they would not be doing it. They can quit any time they want. They have great jobs…..great benefits….decent pay and excellent health insurance plus they have a retirement. Know of any other jobs in America that will give you all that and you feel bad for them? They can quit any time they want….nobody is forcing them to do this job. Nope, there is nothing else in this world they would rather be doing than working exciting crash scenes. And you don’t get a job Iike that unless you know someone.
Well, it's their job. I couldn't resist 🤠
@@penelopelopez8296 geeze have some compassion for responders. We are human too. When you see enough of this over time it does take it's toll. Some of us don't get paid but yes you have to have some love for this. But all people do have a breaking point. I've seen my share of death and destruction over the years but I'm one who didn't get paid for it. Last summer I responded to 5 calls in 3 months that resulted in DOAs and a helicopter crash to see the remains of the pilot smoldering and a father and 1 year old kid burned up 5 feet from their front door. So yes it takes it's toll. Thank you again for your compassion and concern for the mental welfare of first responders and remember about 75 percent of us in the USA do it for free.
drive like hell you will get there
as morbid as it is, I find these videos fascinating for some reason
UNBELIEVABLE,, we just never know when it's our time to go Home. BLESS THEM ALL!!
You do know not to drive when you’re impaired. Being impaired and driving increases your chances of meeting up with an untimely grim death. Sometimes people cause their own demise. Don’t drink and drive, and Buckle up those seat belts. You can’t get tossed out of a vehicle if you’re properly buckled in.
Nope. Drunk Driver got the Blessing He Got
Wow that was such force to obliterate those rear trailer wheels like that, and based on that hazmat placards the truck driver is lucky to walk from that crash since they were hauling flammable liquids 😳
YOU GOT IT
They must have been flying when they hit that truck. That driver deserves a reward for risking her life to keep that truck moving away from the fire when she didn't know if it would explode or not. I hope that company appreciates the driver she is
Why did you say the truck hit the car??? The car hit the truck as it crossed over and was going the wrong way
pretty obvious. if the truck hit it straight on there would be even less evidence left. Can plainly see where the rear axles on the right caught the sedan & split the differential open.
Do not see that every day.
So far in my 17 years and over 2 million miles I have seen my share of bad wrecks. The problem I am seeing now is people will not get off of there phones and slow down. I see numerous kids not in child safety seats, and people eating and driving. Our job is not easy with these variables on a day to day basis. The highway is not the Audubon so please slow down and be courteous to others. But my condolences to the family of your loved one. And good job to the truck driver. Tx has more fatality wrecks than any other state in the 48. That is a statistic that needs to come down.
Polypropylene is neither a liquid, nor is it "very dangerous" -- it is one of the most common plastics and is used in many everyday items.
UN 1280 is propylene oxide.
This is absolutely heartbreaking for everyone involved. With the car reaming out of control from the speeds of 30 to 70 miles an hour could have Had a stroke or a low sugar situation or even a heart attack. I commend the truck driver for holding her own but it’s very sad for first responders and I appreciate them all
Glad the trucker is not injured. She did a great job maintaining control.
What a tragedy that a family has to get this news on the first day of the year😭🙏 Kuddos to the truck driver for maintaining her composure and her truck. Could have been MUCH worse. God Bless All. Amen
Just suicidal driver
Rest in peace prayers for the family
Rip driver that died, much respect for the truck driver for getting far away from the burning vehicle and keeping her rig upright. However, for the life of me I Don't understand the direction of impact looking at both vehicles and the damage incurred to both.
Glad the truck drivers okay, kudos for keeping your rig up right
Hell of a way for the family to start the New Year. RIP.....
This is one of my biggest fears when driving my school bus.
Read up on the bus accident a few years ago in Fox River Grove, IL. Very sad situation for all involved and may make you even more aware when driving the bus.
@bennylovesbacon.. Yeah, I get your drift man. I DROVE A 53 PAX GMC Commercial type Coach out of the transportation motor pool at USMA back in the '70s. We took cadets everywhere, from football games, Hockey, and many trips down to the big rotten Apple. The idea of having some sort of accident, with possible entrapment from a rollover up in the catskills with a fire was always a heavy concern.
@@wolfofwacker4578 Oh yes, very aware. That's why school buses are designed to separate the body from the frame during an impact of that scale. One time I counted how many times I crossed the tracks in a route. 12 times each day in just the bus. To be fair though, our school had separate routes for the different age groups(makes the job a lot easier and more hours since you do 4 routes per day). A lot of our crossings aren't gated either. The fox tragedy will not be forgotten. I mean, when i was in training to get my CDL the Fox tragedy was used as a training tool.
@@richardcoram1562 Same here, except we traveled to Saint Louis. I haven't been to NY but from what I see on the news, it has to be worse than STL now. STL isn't dangerous at all during the day thankfully. Personally, I think its because we have a hell of a lot more folks with guns out here in our neck of the woods lol. I still carried People seasoning just in case. like I told my boss, idgaf fire me, but I assure you that ain't no child getting hurt as long as I have a breath in me.
Omg! That’s horrible. Praying for everyone involved there.
Wow, I didn't think it was possible for a small car to damage those tandems like that. Guy had to be at a high rate of speed.
This happened about a mile from my address, would love to have known what the Toyota driver was driving in such a way for, maybe a medical emergency, drugs, alcohol or just plain being stupid.
The driver was drunk, he was a cousin of a friend of mine. His family had told him not to leave there place, but he didn't listen.
@@damianx.17 oh wow that is so sad. Poor kid and his poor family.

I've seen some extremely horrible wrecks on TH-cam but that......well I have no words!! 💔😥💔😥💔😥💔
Kathy Sparks Koonce --- "no words" ... Nor does the car driver now! So burnt that probably no way of telling if it was drunk or not. If it was drunk, all the alcohol would have been burnt up, vaporised .....like it does when cooking with it...
I'm glad no innocent people were killed.
First, Kudos to the driver. She took what could have been a very bad situation and reduced it.
Second, don't know what was going on with the driver of the passenger vehicle. I've driven behind drunk drivers and what they do will surprise you. Still that's not reason to die in a fire.
Third: CDL drivers are routinely pulled until the collision is fully investigated. She'll be tested as well. Federal law requires that.
Fourth: Hope she is getting counseling. This is very stressful and it appears she did nothing wrong.

Thank you for you very detailed report.
This is what really happens when you try to pass a truck by going under the trailer.
As a retired cop I’ve seen far to many of these collisions. All could have been prevented.
As a disabled former officer I have seen more than my share also. Vehicle deaths keep rising every year. Just sad.
ALL could have been prevented? So if I have a heart attack while I'm driving & have an accident that could have been prevented?

All lives can change drastically in a split second that’s why I wish more people in my life would show their love instead of just saying it, just like how are you doing. Show your love obviously this driver who passed must’ve had a technical or medical condition after I read the full description that’s just my opinion
Makes me wonder how fast the car was traveling at the time of impact.
That tanker took a really hard hit seeing how it was traveling in the same direction.
From the overhead view of the accident scene, my guess would be that the Toyota driver was in the exit ramp lane, and for whatever reason, decided to _not_ exit. That road is only one-lane each direction, and the trucker was already in the lane. I think the Toyota driver gunned it and tried to pass the truck on the right, and impacted the passenger side tandems. (On tankers, the tandems stick out... unlike box trailers where they are tucked away under the trailer... so they're easier to get tangled up in.)
The force of the impact, along with the motion of the wheels would have chewed up the car, spun it around and sucked it further into the trailer. (Imagine if you stuck your hand in between two high speed gears... it just grabs you, pulls you in and chews you up.)
Just my theory, for what it's worth. I've seen it happen several times over a long career as a driver, virtually _always_ with fatalities.
@@deanproctor2690 The car was travelling Eastbound in the Westbound lane and ran into the trailer wheels.
@@johnnychapman2143 how would that be possible? The damage on the tanker was definitely from the rear hit. It took 500 yards in order for that tanker driver to pull it off the roadway. East vs West or head on doesn’t even seem an option in this wreck.
@@johnnychapman2143 just watched it a second time. I see it now. All the damage caused to the trailer wheels was from the front on the right side of the trailer. This one was messed up.
There’s no excuse to drink and drive anymore bottom line
Where does it say the deceased driver was intoxocated? The driver could have been in the process of a medical emergency trying to drive to help. Not many, if ANY, drunk drivers engage their emergency flashers...
@@shawnmayer7849 cause the one family member commented he was completely wasted and still drove
That driver died on instant so sad praying for all involved and the family God Bless
Driving is a serious endeavor . Never take the act of driving lightly ! Your life and my life depend on it !
Thanks for the info
That vehicle was traveling at more than 70mph when it crashed. Not even recognizable.
Was "70 mph" the conclusion after the the technical review was done, or is that your guess?
@@mitchkelsey8743 If the car was travelling at 70mph and the truck at 65mph……that would make an impact speed of 5mph!! Look at the damage to the tandems of the tanker, and how they’ve been twisted, also note the amount of debris left on the tandems after the initial impact.
The amount of damage to the car would suggest that the impact speed was MUCH greater than 5mph…….therefore excessive speed, probably closer to 80-90mph would be more likely to be a more conservative guess. Either way, that’s NOT a 70mph rear end accident caused by inattentive or distracted driving……more likely impaired through either alcohol or drugs.
@@iankirkpatrick264 "Momentum" is the key here. (With a whole slew of other considerations.) Theoretically speaking, with enough momentum, a fly can stop a freight train...
It's too bad he or she didn't run themselves into a oak tree or concrete Pilar and left everybody else out of it. I have zero tolerance or compassion for the amount of reckless drivers that are on the roads
and doing EXCESSIVE speeds.
Less police patrols on the road equals more idiots doing whatever they want.

That's the windshield wiper and motor still attached.
High speed passing on right deadly foolish.
PROOF!
He was going wrong way read police report
@@bigred1247
Corrected... True.
Worse yet.
I feel horrible for the truck driver who has to deal with this and I'm glad the Nissan driver was also safe. Regarding the driver of the Toyota, I don't feel bad at all for them or their family. They drove erratically like a psycho most likely drunk and got what they deserved. I just wish the innocent truck/Nissan driver weren't affected by this psycho. I hope the truck/Nissan driver find peace and know in their hearts they didn't do anything wrong nor do they have anything to feel guilty for. Also props to the truck driver for the awesome driving skills
Kudos to the truck driver. My husband is a truck driver and I have drove with him. Watching how these cars will cut off a semi. Especially in the merge lane, onto the expressway.
We have blind spots and if you go around us because traffic is slow, backed up, and we aren’t moving, please be patient! You’re little plastic car won’t compare to our 18 wheeler.
Terrible et traumatisme a vie pour la personne qui conduisait le camion, bravo à elle pour la maîtrise du camion après un impact d une telle violence. Pensées tristes pour la victime et sa famille...l ' alcool un gros fléau sur la route. 🤯🤯😱😱😥😥😥.
So sad 😢 ..... My heart .... Thoughts and Prayers 🙏 goes out to his family and friends and everyone else involved during this difficult time 🙏.
Omg how horrific. I hope the deceased loved ones were able to be notified.
R.I.P 😞 Condolences to our family rn 💐
This is why I don't DRINK at all....is drinking worth losing your life for....I think not... so sad he died...
cherie goodwin ... he was asked and begged NOT to drive after the party. Apparently he was mashed! His own fault...
@@rosemarydudley9954 I understand that, its still a high price to pay, like I said is it worth it ...
Was that the partial arm & wiper motor from the other vehicle lodged into the windshield of that Nissan?? Insane..
The vehicles aren't even that close to each other. That makes me think that the car was going 90+ mph, as it impacted a vehicle traveling in the same direction.
the oil pan was ripped by the impact exposing the crankshaft,flywheel and torque converter are deformed. That impact was not survivable, fortunately the driver didn't suffer.
How horrid! Kudos to that Lady Trucker! This wreck could have been a LOT worse if not for her.
The description is very confusing. It states that the car crossed over all lanes, but then states that the truck hit the car. That’s a very contradictory statement.
We had a guy pass us on eye 75 down in Punta Gorda area last January he was running 100+ mph traffic was running 75-85 mph he ran into the rear of a 65 mph tanker truck just a few miles after he passed us. Pretty sure he never made it. They had a blanket over the drivers side when we were able to get by.
Folks just don't understand the speed difference and reaction time lost when distracted
High speed impact, Car seems to be Corolla, Even crank shaft of engine is exposed 😳.
YOU GOT IT
It's not only the crankshaft exposed. You can also see the transmission was ripped open, and at least one gear is visible. Just imagine the force it would take to tear open both the engine and transmission. This was definitely no fender bender. Good thing this idiot killed himself before he had a chance to kill anyone else. I have zero sympathy for anyone who drives drunk.
I'm asking "Where's the other half of the car?" ... Then comes the shot of the tanker's rear axle ... wow !!!
Authorities should place that wreck roadside as a monument/warning drivers to slow down & not drink & drive.
It’s crazy How something you work hard for can be gone in a flash including your life..
The "VIN" plate came about in 1954, and for many years afterwards the alphanumeric numbers were stamped in stainless steel and/or with anti-corrosive metal. Also, the "license plate" use to be stamped in steel, not aluminum. Saying that, such plates would have survived the fire.
There should be other places a VIN tag is located. One of my first jobs was working for a car dealership, and they purchased (what they thoughts was) a pristine car at auction for their used car lot. Upon inspection, it was discovered there were TWO VIN numbers: the car was two wrecked autos put back together. Done skillfully and beautifully but still - not something the dealership would sell. This was in the mid 1970's so IDK if there was legislation yet on salvage titles. And maybe I'm assuming multiple VIN tag locations on newer cars. RIP to the driver, sounds like a medical condition?
@@gsdalpha1358 yeah it’s in the trunk lid, doors, firewall, floor and trunk panels. As well as the engine block, transmission, dashboard, and sometimes the cylinder heads....to name a few.
I was thinking the same thing. I have a few old steel plates hanging up on the wall which wouldve been readable if that happened to whatever car it used to be on.
Not always buddy. Couldn't you see part of the engine was melted?
@hopster, noup, there is no vehicle vin in engine, dash or gearbox. Only car frame have vin, one is stamped and another one is sticker. Of course there vin recorded to cus, but that wreck condition...
Driver of the tanker has the skills and I know that it's going to stay. Wit her forever,it has me. Driver let it go from here it may have been suside by motor vehicle
Thank you for detailed information in the text box.
Nobody had a dashcam??
This would surely be one to see real-time
Probably there was a cam, but the photographer would have to get permission from the owner of the cam to show it
Took me a while to understand what happened, but the toyota and the truck were going opposite directions at impact. The toyota hit the front side of the rear wheels - not a rear-end collision
I am not sure about that. The axle and wheels of the trailer are pushed forward on the trailer, like the impact was on the right rear of the trailer.
not sure either, damage to the right rear of the trailer and just how the person would have hit the right side if they were coming from the opposite direction wouldnt make sense. just from the damage, it seems the toyota was traveling at a high rate of speed and crashed into the trialer.
@@mkay1957 This is what I think happened. The Toyota and the truck are driving in same direction. Toyota is coming from behind at high rate of speed, spins out trying to pass the truck, does a 180 and ends up under the trailer facing the wrong way at which point the trailer drives over the car with the right hand side, pushing the right hand side tandems back and the left tandems forward that is why the car body work is all tied up in the right hand side of the trailer, looks to be the roof of the car as the trailer tires invade the interior of the Toyota, the Toyota then spins back to face the correct way after the trailer has driven over it, the car explodes into pieces on impact with the wiper blades motor landing in the windshield of the Nissan. You can also see the curtain airbag tied up in the truck trailer tires. The truck driver had the scare of her life, driving normally and all of the sudden the trailer jumps up and starts crabbing. Wild ride!!
@@kootybear look at the sheet metal it’s all in the front of the passenger side front axle. If you look at the drivers side front axle it’s pushed forwards. Passenger pushed back and driver going forward. Now think about that. 🤔
Yeah that's what it said in the description. The car must have crossed in front of the truck and over corrected into the right rear of the truck.
That might have been fortunate for the people in the Nissan. Not so much for the person in the Toyota.
Nothing was left of that car 😵😲😲😲
Praying all the vehicles, that was involved, my condolences to the family.
RIP COROLLA PERSON 🙏 Condolences to your family and friends at this difficult time. ✝️❣️
Karel Naona ... RIP??? He was drunk out of his skull...
that would have been a really ugly clean up
Anthony Kernich .... Too true. Shovels and scoops.....lol
You know it was a hard impact when it rips out the windshield wiper motor and flings it into the windshield of another car. 😯
Suicide by HENIFF tanker has happened before. Heniff drivers must be getting paranoid every time they get on the road.
