- 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.

So glad she wasn't injured. That must have been terrifying.

Why are people saying it’s her fault when it’s clearly the car CROSSING THE YELLOW LINE that hit her
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.
Because people can be awful.
Let's be honest two reasons people would say bad things first she is a woman second her skin color is more important than the truth

As a truck driver, everytime I cross a bridge. I can't help but think of this video.
The engineers behind that trailer, hitch, and truck are proud about now. They stayed together.
Yes that was well put together, can't say the same for the materials for the bridge 😢😢😢
It also helped that the ledge was there
What is used to hold the cab and trailer together?
@@PM-vb4od The piece that attached the two is called the kingpin. It's a pin that is just 2 inches in diameter (sometimes 3½") and it's responsible for keeping the trailer attached to the truck. It has a mushroom head on it to keep the trailer from being able to just lift off the pin. While I'm sure they can, I've never heard of one breaking.
@@desertrat7634my mushroom head also never breaks 💪🏼⚡️
I was literally thinking "This some sort of spider-man scene"
Then it cuts to her being saved by the most spider-man dude you can get in modern day
Same bro
I came to the comments to day that and had to see if someome said it first 😂 for real hahaha
Bro 😂
There is a Spiderman video right after this one on my fyp 😂
I was just watching Amazing Spider-Man bro
When I was on the road, the most scariest thing is not when I drive and make mistakes but I'm scared when I have to deal with idiots on the road.
That's crazy because most of the idiots I see are the ones in the trucks.
@@The_Rogue_Soul NGL, I can't agree more.
I see people jay walk in duabi every day (atleast in my road)
Same here! I had a teen-ager hit me and now I'm left without car for a month now!! Insurance takes forever!!
Provincial bus are
People are saying she overcorrected are wrong. The dashcam clearly shows that when the truck hit her, she was turning the steering wheel to the right. The impact most likely broke her axel.
She’s driving an 18 wheeler. Regardless of possible damage to the truck before going off the bridge, I don’t think she could have done much to avoid what happened.
Muy buena observación. Lo bueno es que sobrevivió la conductora
Absolutely terrifying. She handled the situation so well. I’m glad the man with the suspended license was charged and that she is still alive.
Why am I not surprised that it was someone with a suspended license? These people who can't drive are out of control
All but one of his charges were cleared.
Nobody is talking about how that car came out of literally nowhere? Like it spawn from thin air…
Yeah i noticed that but i think that car tried not to hit the car parked in front at the very last second
Cause it didn’t
I was pausing it and replying it. It does look like that. Truck passes by with the van that's on the other side and then out of no where the Chevy looking truck spawns in immediately
Yeah but why did she turn into the bridge?
@@rhyslogan6490I think because when the truck hit her it scared her and she accidentally turned
For those saying its her fault. Those double yellow lines are not meant for passing, period.
If there is anyone who says it’s her fault simply means those people have never drive yet.. so they don’t know the rules of driving 😅
People just like to blame truck drivers and I don't understand.
I think the other car was in an accident first & got spat into her lane
The dude wasn't passing.
Yeah but she literally turned off the bridge she could have just hit her brakes
Those people who rescued her are absolute heroes ❤
The passenger vehicle crossed into the truckers lane. She stayed way calmer than I would have. She wasn’t hysterical nor did she over-steer. She had as much control as possible
Well… she did steer right into the ledge of the bridge
@@Merdavalclothing Nice bait lol
@@Merdavalclothing she didn't steer into anything, her steering was clearly impaired by the collision
@ImMLAnixX I don't know man she looks and sounds a lot calmer than most other people would look and sound if they were in a truck dangling over the edge of a bridge
@@Merdavalclothing You are correct about one thing. She did steer right, but the car was still going left because the steering didn't work anymore. She did everything right and none of this was her fault.
So interesting how they were quick to say she was at fault before the dashcam footage was released..... glad she was safe.
M a trucker that's the general assumption of the public including the law enforcement that arrives on the scene whenever a semi is involved in an accident ... that's why it's very very very important to carry a dash cam in our profession...some folks even do it deliberately looking for a quick pay day without regards of their lives or if they gonna survive to get the check cause our minimum insurance coverage is now 5 million.
People would rather fall on there gun then let people merge into their lanes, self preservation isn't a thought in the mind of 50% of the population
Ain't no way she's at fault the car driver literally overtakes on the opposite side of the road.
@@NICSU667nope, the pickup crashed into a hatchback on the outside lane which made him veer into the oncoming traffic. The fault is somewhere between those two. Maybe the hatchback broke down, maybe they made a mistake that, maybe the pickup made a mistake that caused him to rear end.
The hatchback was lucky that it didn't get dragged by the semi and fell into the river.
@@SticksWithPickshe was driving on a suspended license and has been charged. He should have never crossed into oncoming traffic
Headline: “attempting to avoid a vehicle swerving into her lane.” No time to react, dude straight-up drove into her.. terrifying stuff.!! 💀
I can’t believe how well she handled this n kept her composure- I know I’d be screaming like a little you know what... smh this is just insane!!
Nothing made me feel more relieved to see that she was rescued and safe!

Согласен, тоже стало легче 😮
Повезло!, значит рано к Всевышнему
Tại sao ở trên cầu có nhiều xe dừng, đỗ như vậy
Maam, i've got you. But your pants are wet. Did you spill your soda?
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
CMVs dont have hand brakes and it would be ineffective to use the aprking brake here, all thatd do is lock your wheels up. ABS helps tremendously but i assume the steering linkage was broken from the impact leading to the inability to steer
@@ms8studios157figured he was talking about the Johnny bar which technically is a hand brake
Her tractor was pushed by her Loaded and heavy trailer in the start of a jack-knife due to the sudden slowdown. that's why her steering had no effect. Trucking 101.
She was trying to turn left in this video meaning she was actually trying to go right in reality. My point is you’re right.
Looks like the car hit the trucks tire which caused it to go at a wrong angle. If not it’s probably a jack knife
Proof that no matter how professional and careful you are, someday there will be an idiot playing Pokémon on the road
😭😭😭😭
Not true little bro
Real
@@Heykristalno. She's steering towards the passenger side. She sheered the opposite direction. Do you know how cameras work?
he was playing pikmin bloom
The fault is the person who’s at a dead stop on a bridge in the far left lane (the passenger truck crossed into the POV drivers lane bc they were avoiding that car)
the literal only reason to stop on a bridge is if your car will not move and even then you better start pushing
Yup, this. And it looks like there’s room to the side for the stopped car to move over and get out of the way
Or, hear me out, he could've just moved to the outside lane instead going into oncoming traffic...
@@blkpanther2k5 I believe he was trying to but over corrected
Please look again. The pick up truck crossed the double yellow line and hit the truck. The car was parked in an other lane.
@@RustyWings upon further review, the truck was obviously parked in the right hand lane. Probably a tourist. There are vehicles parked behind where the truck was too, and they're not moving when he is. They were also parked too far back for it to have been traffic from the parked vehicle ahead of the pickup. Pickup driver is just incompetent.
Really glad to hear that they arrested the pickup truck driver and charged him with endangerment as well as driving on a suspended license. Sadly there's not more that they could do, but they charged him with everything they could.
do you think they should receive a worse punishment?
@@absolutevalue23he should be liable for the property damages / infrastructure damages and costs the city now has to pay for.
Additionally, he should be further liable to the trucking company for the damages- even if insurance covered it.
@@mason96575don’t forget forcing a bridge to shutdown, which undoubtedly incurs costs for businesses and people trying to get to and from work. Causing delays for thousands of people.

Just to let y’all know she tried to turn the steering wheel to the right but bc of the damage the truck was unresponsive and kept going left.

@@Xoxokiwiiithere’s a lot of idiots on here blaming her because they think that she just kept turning the truck left
@@ArnulfoSalgadoA lot of neckbeards who don’t leave their bedroom pretending they know how to drive a truck and would be perfectly calm and collective after getting in an accident.
For all the people saying it’s her fault.. where the heck are you?
She was literally being suspended above the river by a 2.5 inch piece of steel where the fifth wheel attaches to the trailer and latches onto the pin. The tractor weighs around 5 or 6 tons which could've easily detached from the trailer pin and plummeted into the river below. She had an angel protecting her that day.
Fortunately this trucking company hauls food like frozen meals and not anything very heavy. If she was hauling anything heavier it probably would have given way. But she got very lucky with the bridges welding and the massive beam that held the trailer down.
Quality matters

Shut up
The sheer terror. Three seconds can change everything. So glad she’s still with us!
Sheer terror indeed, I'd be afraid the hitch would sheer off
The car stopped in the middle of the highway really was the one who caused the entire accident
Not entirely, the guy in the black pickup truck turned way too much
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.
The info everyone is here looking for.
Any info on the stalled vehicle?
Thanks for the deets 😮
so real life
@asianthefirst7611 No information released.
the truck took out her steering. you can see her turning the wheel hard right and nothing happened. glad she's alright
I was looking at that too, I get it was a pretty significant crash but losing steering in an 18 wheeler seems like a really big deal, even after a crash. Sounds like a bad design or maybe just an unfortunately placed pickup truck. Hope that person is alright.
@@randallradke1279yea I’ve been wondering about this since it happened. That pickup definitely hit the truck in the right place at the right time.
It’s trippy bc the 2 cameras are facing opposite ways, so the first time it played I thought she was turning left😂😂
the brakes: aM i A jOkE tO yOu?!?!?!
@@gastric_bypass_gaming trucks take awhile to stop
The person in the black truck should never hold a driving license after that
Well to be fair that truck holding the wood caused that black truck to not be able to turn
According to a news report The Purp was driving with a suspended license, and vehicle was uninsured.
@@JonathanMaxwell27 not surprising tbh
@@C0CKUS-ER3CTU5look it up, dude was speeding with a suspended license.
Probably on the phone and didn’t see the stopped car
Being a retired truck driver, there is NO WAY that truck should have reacted that way is the driver knew how to drive.
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.

"Bro." Your ignorance proceeds you. She did NOT turn left. What you see in the video is what happens when a crash takes out the steer tire on one side. The truck will veer hard in the direction off the damaged tire side.
@@TedMartin-d4iBs. The oncoming car went into her lane hiting her. You need glasses.

SHE WAS STEERING TWORD STHE BRIDGE
GD IDIOT
For the people who think she could've avoided this. Notice how the steering is turned all the way to the right, and the truck kept going to the left. Her steering was taken out when the truck got hit.
She did the right thing, but in this situation, she could do nothing. I'm glad she's ok.
Her wheels looks fine
She turned into the guard rail, sorry but she went off because she steered into it.
Are you lot dumb? Look at the direction she's turning the wheel. It's the opposite. She didn't run it off the bridge you compelte donuts
@@MrAshHereI swear people who comment this remind me of the animals that don’t recognize themselves in the mirror. Look at the direction she’s turning the wheel CAREFULLY. Then, look at the direction the truck is going in. Do you see what’s wrong with your logic.
@@SPICYMONKIikr? she steers to the right but people just couldn't process it lol
I think everyone saw that video. Amazing story and amazing rescue from many heroes!!
In the words of my dad when I first started driving “ you’re not watching for your mistakes. You’re watching for others”
That’s what my father said too
That's what I tell my grandkids, too.
Unfortunately in this situation it was nothing the trucker could do
Wise words
she had no business in the left lane
I can’t even imagine how terrified she must’ve been! I’m so grateful that she is OK! Thanks to the people that rescued her!
NOT HER FAULT
1-black truck goes into wrong lane and hit her
2-upon the impact, truck starts to roll left
3-probably due impact and damage to the lower arm control/wheel/rackpinion.
4-You see the truck driver turn the steering wheel to the right to go back into her lane , but due to the damage steering is unresponsive and truck continues to roll to the left and nearly falls.
Her fault when she start panicking to others lane
@@וקצתCertainly not her fault. The black truck plows into her left side cab. She did not panic. She definitely did the right thing in turning to the right (away from the impact). Her truck's wheels did not respond. She only screams once her cab plunges through over the edge of the bridge.
@@וקצת - wrong The truck was out of her control. she turned steering wheel to the right to bring truck under control, but steering wheel was unresponsive.
@@bobblack-n9z i actually meant that her panic behaviour turned it to the worst situation, we all know the side car start it first
@@וקצתBro her panic behavior literally made her try to turn the steering wheel AWAY from the edge. She was trying to NOT make it worse but it was literally out of her control because something got damaged when she got hit that wouldn't allow her to turn away.
Definitely not her fault. Wonderful she is still alive and rescued. Avoided a pile up, as there was another truck approaching.
At first I thought, "no! why are you turning off the bridge!"
Then I realized she was trying to turn back onto the road but it kept going left. Steering rack was probably bent and she couldn't do anything about it. That right there is terrifying.
I had to do a double take because I was thinking the same thing
The left wheel is damage or exploded
Plus, all the weight from the trailer was pushed forward!
Truly unlucky day
Thx I needed to know this.
Exacto el semireolque empujó al tracto dejándo la dirección inútil ya que las ruedas seguramente derraparon, más no había nada que hacer sólo hubiera ayudado tirar el freno del semireolque
I like how she immediately stopped mid scream and held her breath when she saw exactly where she was. She saved herself really. Eventually, they came to help.
She did not save herself. She tried corrective steering instead of braking
@@conorsmith636 She's braking and trying to correctively steer. You can't just slam the brakes on these huge trucks, the inertia forces them forward. Also, none of that matters because the truck impact took out her steering, you can see her try to steer and it does NOTHING because it was already damaged in the impact.
She was not holding her breath lol literally just in shock with adrenaline going wild
@@conorsmith636that's like saying if you see someone on the train tracks just stop, it takes a lot of time for something big like a semi or a train etc to stop

Thank fully she is OK ❤
She MAY have been aiming for the steel support, but she turns into the edge. She gives the steering wheel a full revolution (hand over hand to be exact). Had she simply held the steering wheel in place, it looks like she would have simply drifted into the oncoming lane.
@@FSB75 she steers it the opposite way, her steering was broken by the car hitting her and she had no control over it
@@jaspervn4722 Exactly, truck had a mind of its own thanks to damage to left side, she was trying to _stop_ the truck from going left.
No the chances of you blowing through everything without getting caught on something would be a miracle. The odds of getting stuck on something was WAY more likely than going all the way through.
That little fence wouldn’t even stop a shopping cart… and on a bridge?! 😂
I'm so thankful this lady is ok. This is one of the narrowest bridges. No room for mistakes.
No, no es el puente ni lo estrecho, son los conductores los que generan esto, la imprudencia de uno es la desgracia de otro.
Не стоит благодарности😊
I am a truck driver myself. When this 1st happened so many people were talking smack about this young lady. Saying horrible things like she shouldn't be driving and they give everyone licenses. She did a great job not hurting anyone and lived to tell about it. Kuddos to her for keeping a calm head in the face of adversity ❤
AGREED!!!!!
Blame the blue car that caused the accident 😡😡. If that driver hadn’t veered over the double line the accident would’ve happened. Those truckers blamed the wrong person.
Yeah
Why would they blame her? The guy veered across two lanes and hit her head-on. Do they think it was somehow her fault or something? Should she be able to bring a rig to a dead-stop in a fraction of a second?
@@wumpusrat Realistically, probably just because of racism. It was the same with the Boeing pilot when the plane lost a part.
She was WAY calmer than I would have been. I’d be screeching like a banshee 😮
it’s because she passed out i think
To the people who said it's her fault, they are road violators who think they own the road.
And it's probably the same people who think it's her fault
Who's saying it's her fault? Literally no one is.
@@ilovesephThere’s people in other people’s threads on this video saying it’s her fault and that she hit the guard rails and that’s why she fell off. 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.
These people need to get their driver’s license revoked and their cars repossessed.
@@iloveseph what are you so agitated about? Yt shorts is not the only platform with this video. You might not see ppl here saying it's her fault, but in other social media platforms, there are.
@@iloveseph I have read 15 other comments saying it’s her fault.
People that are asking "Why'd she steer to the left? Watch the video again, shes steering to her right.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😔
she doing neither it's going where it wants.
It looks like the front axle was damaged so the truck turned left
Some people don't know how a reflection in a mirror works
@@gradovvladimir4315 Yup, nothing she could do, unfortunetly.
Nothing she can do, simply physics.
Getting hit on her left turns her to the left, steering is most likely broken and there`s a trailer behind her that wants to move forward due to inertia.
She was the passenger there and had an angel watching her sending a hero to get her out.
Yeah I think you're spot on about the steering being broken: you can see she turns the wheel several turns after she was done getting tossed around by the impact, but the truck didn't respond at all, just kept going the same direction.
Absolutely! I said she had her gaurdian angel out there holding onto that truck!!
I agree. I don't know if anyone had noticed this, but the moment she realise she going left, she turns as hard right as she could.
maybe she would try to start braking
@100lagugages you do realize trucks of that size don't break like regular cars right?
My toxic trait is believing I could climb up from the cab rather than wait for help
Give credit to the firefighters who rescued her outstanding job
Really?
@@mahbubmoI mean she likely wasn’t gonna be saved by anyone else so I think it’s appropriate to give them some credit.
@the_dude_josh whatever happened to them doing their job?
@@mahbubmo that’s a pretty L take. From that perspective nobody should ever get any credit for anything they do. Coast guard shouldn’t receive praise for going into dangerous waters saving sailors from falling overboard or a sinking ship, it’s just their job. Search and rescue shouldn’t receive praise when they have to pull people from raging floods. 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.
It is their job but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t praise them for risking their lives doing their jobs. It takes a certain selfless person to go into harms way to save another person and most people are unwilling to do it, at least for the current pay that most of these people get.
@@mahbubmodelete this take
That’s straight up PTSD for a very long time…if not for life. I’m so happy that she was rescued from such a horrific ordeal and I hope she’ll receive the necessary help (mentally) to get through this. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I know right- saw a woman driving a forklift the other day and it scared me for life
That's not how PTSD works.
@dylanmorgan5589 this the type of person that has a moderately bad day then goes on social media claiming to be depressed. or a dunce with a second grade reading level that claims to be dyslexic...
would be tough to get back in the drivers seat after that
@@willl7780but, she did
The scream knowing she was going into the water and then the sigh after realizing her truck was caught. 😭 She is beyond grateful, hope she's still driving trucks because she will not be in that situation ever again.
I swear as I was watching that I thought that next thing we were going to see was water. Glad it didn’t happen.
I bet she quit and found another job after this experience
Oh my gosh I’m so glad she’s okay, very scary 😮😮
Oh wow that poor woman, luckily she is safe . ❤
I’m fricken terrified just seeing this video. I cannot imagine how much adrenaline must’ve been pumping through her veins. She handled this so much better than I would have.
🤤

Godbless those people out there who put their life on the line to save people
That trailer with the Thermoking, barely was holding itself on the framework, and that little pin, went above and beyond.
Those fifth wheel pins are strong as anything. There's a reason they're called "kingpins". They are the strongest part of any trailer, designed to withstand forces of at least 150,000 pounds per square inch. That's about the weight of two bulldozers.
Oh Girl! I'm so thankful that you are alive! I pray you have no lasting emotional trauma from this. ❤
Sure won't be driving for a while at least and if she does that's impressive. Id be shook for a long time
@@Trakkah94 The worst thing you can do is not to drive after a bad accident. You need to get straight back behind a Truck wheel ( if able). You take time off , that`s when you may never get behind the wheel of a Truck again, talking from experience over 48 years of Truck driving.
She handled it better than I would have
No comments?
Stop lying man
She passed out
So glad she was rescued 💖💖
That guy in the pickup needs to be charged.
he is. he was also driving with a suspended license
@@lilmac194эта ряльна была 😢😢😢
@@lilmac194of course he had his liceneses suspended.
The guy brake checking in the middle of a busy bridge&
He prob ain’t with us anymore after that
People do not realize that once you lose a steer tire there is nothing you can do. She turned the wheel back the opposite direction and still went over. Even in a small vehicle once you lose the front the vehicle will do whatever without any permission
To much stwering she got panic this why she lost anything...
The thing is, why wouldn’t you. You lose the front, steering doesn’t work, you do it anyway
You still have the front, steering works, you save yourself.
Keep the front, *DONT* steer, well you know where this is going.
Wrong it may be harder but you can still steer
No most 4 wheelers don't know why should they?
@@Kotzeish that’s not too much steering to the right amount and she look like she was on the brakes. You just lose control of the car. That was the perfect amount of steering.
She turned clockwise, the correct direction, the truck didn't respond because of physics (it's called understeer in car lingo). Why are there THREE vehicles stopped on that bridge??
I have a strong feeling that the steering linkage broke up in the collision which caused no steering response and the collision was in a way where the left front wheel would be yanked forcefully into an unaligned position which lead to the trucker going off the bridge.
That's mean the brake also malfunction?
@ButohLo semis don't stop on a dime, especially if she was a heavy load. They need about 600ft to stop fully at avarage speed.
@@ButohLoah yes the SEMI TRUCK BRAKE known for instantaneous braking. It's truly like a sports car stops the moment u flinch at it!
This is why women should not be driving semis what kind of maneuver was that
Im so sorry im just so glad your okay
She was steering right to stay in her lane and on her own side of the road. But the truck kept going left. Her instincts were spot on only her truchad something inside it stop working when the car hit her.
100% wasn't her fault. If her steering didn't fail on her, she would have stayed in her own lane and would have been fine. Glad shes ok.
Yeah because I could see that she’d tried going to the other lane on her right to avoid collision
Deus tesalvol😮
What happened to the brakes?
@@herewego9767 it's a large truck and it takes a long time to stop
@herewego9767 it takes time for a truck to stop its not instant
She was left dangling for an hour before they could rescue her.
I was there and that is true.
Scary. Glad she's okay
AN HOUR?!?
This is relatively fast
What were they doing? Meeting?
All things considering, she was extremely calm and collected during this entire series of events. Glad she was able to make it out safely. Well done to the rescue crew for another successful mission!
Anyone who thinks she has any blame in this has NEVER driven a truck
This is genuinely one of the scariest things I’ve seen. Glad she’s ok!
