I feel like I've watched about 100 of them in my life, it is always a sobering reminder that this could happen to ANY OF US. It has helped me learn what the speed limit means, and they've helped me abide by it. I am 21 and my dream has always been to go into car safety, real world stuff is no joke for sure!
I know I'm here watching in fear as my 15 yr old daughter is learning to drive...... I'm going to make her sit and watch these before she takes any test....Lord protect everyone and their children out there....prayers for the family.....God bless
It’s just insane that people drive like they don’t care for their own lives or the lives of others. I see it everyday. Those of us who drive 18 wheelers see it so many times a day. It’s aggravating to see some guy who is so impatient that they attempt to pass you on a two lane road in a no passing zone with oncoming traffic in the near distance, and you look down and see his wife/girlfriend or one of his kids that are at the driver’s mercy. Another example, I see some woman texting away trying to pass me with her kids crawling all over the back seat, not even buckled up, and trying to pass me while in the near distance there’s an oncoming Freightliner hauling a tanker. You can only get away with it for so long before your lucky eventually runs out, and then this happens.
And if the driver of the 18-wheeler isn't killed, he/she suffers emotionally/mentally over the deaths of the people in the other vehicle. Thank you to all of the truckers that drive all of those miles to deliver most of the food, medicine, beverages, cars, etc. for the world.
@@KingCast65 Most motorcycle riders drive safely, but I too have seen some that scared the crap out of me. Then you have the cars/trucks that can't seem to see motorcycle riders to contend with. Stay safe, Sir.
I had a friend of mine in grad school about 40 years ago. He was driving a motorbike and a older lady in a Caddie pulled out in front of him and he hit the caddie twice. Another motorist came up to where he was llying on the road with a broken leg. The car sounded like his mother's car. After getting my friend into an EMS ambulance he drove a short distance and found his mother's car parked in her driveway. There was a big crush indention on her right passenger side. She never knew she had hit my friend!
Prayers for the families and friends of the deceased, the survivors, and always the first responders. Thank you Scott Engle for this work that you do. If people see how destructive these accidents are, perhaps they will drive safer, and most of all sober.
People need to be more patient when driving. Apparently the person that caused this accident was in a hurry to get to the morgue and he took some people with him. All to get home about a minute sooner.
@@thotprovoking-provokingthot That's true but you could clearly see the effect it had on the police so it wasn't setup in compliance with them and what they had going on.
Wow that's so sad, after watching these videos I changed the way I drive drastically, no worth it taking risks, speeding like maniacs ETC, you can Speed when isn't someone around. RIP for all victims.
ya it's definitely in my mind too as I drive. It's almost like it should be manditory viewing every time you go renew your license and especially prior to ever getting a license.

"And God said I'm wrapping my hands around this child its not his time".. Only God let's a child walk away from a horrific crash like that without even a scratch on him... ..!.. Praying for each and everyone of them and their families...
Point of impact is the only reason the 15yo and 33yo survived. Notice in the incident details that both of them were seated in the 'right side' of their vehicle. Both the driver & passenger behind the driver died. Sad, but that's what happens on one-lane highways with a driver that makes a decision to make an unsafe pass, on a one-lane highway.
PokerRun388 Point of impact is of course a significant factor, but the right “rear” passenger was transported in critical condition. Now I’m no scientist but I’m pretty sure the impact didn’t occur in the back of the vehicle since it was a “head on” collision. That child was protected by something, rather you’re a believer or not, there’s no denying that! 🤷🏼♀️
Not everyone is capable of making that decision of passing on a two lane road... Especially at night time💯 You have to know your cars capabilities, your driving experience, timing, awareness, judgement. Your either committed or not.... And you need to know when to back out when you see trouble awaiting.
Absolutely right not everyone can do all of that in the dark. Some people can't even tie their shoe laces. That is why they sell shoes at Walmart with velcro
So many needless deaths. Just pay attention to what's right in front of you. That poor guy having to tell the reporters everything that happened, I can't imagine the weight on his shoulders every time he sees something like this.
The road isn't dangerous... the motorists are! A Hispanic guy in a white truck blew around me on the East Fork bridge in Plum Grove just yesterday.... a clearly marked NO PASSING ZONE on a bridge with a blind curve up ahead! What was he thinking? Well he got away with it, that time.... he and someone else may not be so lucky next time he pulls that crap though!! And there'in lies the problem.
Isn’t it amazing that the utility truck that was almost obliterated and the bed was mostly intact and the PVC water pipe didn’t look like it was moved at all.

It has always been the eeriest of feelings to see life flights showing up on location of accidents…like everyone else risking their life to try and save others it’s a weird paradox thing
Scott, You’ve made numerous videos like this. I’m pretty sure you’ve seen more than your fair share of fatalities. Do you happen to know how many videos you’ve made and over what period of time? Stay safe out there!
As a life-long resident of the Greater Houston area and former wrecker driver; I have seen many major accidents / fatalities . . . When you see two Life Flight birds on the ground at the same time on the same scene; you've seen a unicorn!
I’ve lost count on how many time’s I’ve had to move to shoulder to avoid a collision from some idiot who is to damn impatient and I drive an 18 wheeler that is governed at 65. RIP to those tragically died and my condolences too the families who lost their loved ones.
I wonder if people know that their health insurance (if they have it) or Medicare/Medicaid, does *not* cover Life Flight transport? You'll get billed for the cost directly (or, if you die, your family is billed), and if the bill is not paid then wages are garnished, Social Security payments taken, and all your assets have liens placed on them. The minimum cost of a very short flight (2-5 miles) is well north of $10,000
My husband was taken by Life Flight 2.5 hours away, due to his requirement to be at the hospital where he received his kidney transplant. We were not billed, and insurance did, indeed, pay 100% of the bill. Thankfully, because, yes it is exceptionally expensive. Back then in the early 2000s, it cost $2500 for the chopper to both lift off and land (so, x 4), plus the cost per mile. It depends on the insurance. We had private insurance through his employer, because he still worked at the time, although he was off on medical leave. If someone truly didn't have it covered, then they would work out payment plans with them, and many will do write offs for tax purposes. If absolutely necessary, people have had to declare bankruptcy to discharge medical debt. In those cases, people usually can still keep their homes and other possessions.
@@jenx5870 - You are soooooooooooooooooooooo wrong... these leeches will take all of your assets, and will try to sell your children into slavery if they can get away with it.
Prayers for thefamilies involved. I travel 105 and 321 everyday and i have seen two fatality accident on 321 in the last month from trying to pass without making sure its safe. God bless everyone involved. All of these people need to either leave earlier or just slow down. I work about 35 minutes from my job and i leave an hour before time just so i dont have to drive fast to get there. I can take my time and get myself and someone elses family members home or to work safely
He can't film the removal of the victims from the vehicles for their privacy. Therefore, when you see him switch to filming something mundane, you can be sure it's due to the emergency workers removing someone.
First of all, prayers go out to all the deceased, the young man who lived through this, and those who were airlifted. Could someone please explain which truck caused the accident? I am confused as they are both black pick up trucks? Thank you.
The truck with the railing with the ladders on it , thers boys were in a mad hurry to get to somewhere , this is a work truck and its full of nails tools etc etc, im in Ireland Brenda but this is how im reading this , heavy impact here how anybody survived this is just pure lucky ,you would think it was a bomb that destroyed the trucks

The people that get in serious trouble passing often start out bad by being too close to the vehicle they are attempting to pass. You can't see ahead when tight behind a semi. You also can't increase your speed to overtake before actually passing. They then swing out and don't have any speed built up to get through the danger zone quickly. BAM
It amazes me how many of your videos are from SH 105. I really like this cop. Sad all the things emergency services have to deal with. God bless them all.
In my 20 years of being a firefighter I’ve been to all kinds of suicides, murders, and wrecks but wrecks are by far the calls that stick with you the most and not in a good way
They say, the likelihood of survival in a bigger vehicle when in an accident is higher, but in this case it didn't really matter.. RIP to the deceased... perhaps TX needs to re-engineer that road to have passing lanes every few miles if there's enough straightaaways..
That's how it is here. (Trans-Canada NW Ontario) splits for a few miles every 10-20 miles. Some people who were driving slowly seem to subconsciously or deliberately speed up when it splits for some reason however.
I’m in Australia, and we have the westpac choppers as our life flight. I live directly in the path it takes to get to Sydney. Every weekend I hear it multiple times. My heart sinks as I think of someone probably not making it home that night. It’s horrifying.
People make mistakes and people die. People who make rude and uncaring comments are going to make a mistake one day. My condolences to all families of the lost ones. May those in the hospital heal completely.
Doesn't everyone? I suppose some people may have theirs off, but a lot people just keep theirs on in order to be more visible. In some countries, it is a requirement to have your headlights on during the day, for that very reason. You say that, as if that would make we Texans stupid, but it would make us better drivers. Just because you're watching a channel from Texas that follows accidents, that doesn't mean that there aren't a hell of a lot more in other states.
All this because they wanted to pass. We as humans need to re-evaluate our thinking and need to stop being so self absorbed and selfish. I like to call it the Veruka Salt syndrome... “I WANT it and I WANT it N O W” It’s disgusting and Sad!!
Passing can be done safely. It's all about timing and visability. Sadly some people try to pass when they can't see, I have seen blind passes many times. Always hope it's a log truck coming the other way and not a car with kids in it.
All this about being in a hurry to get home impatient balh blah. The driver was not on a suicide mission. The main reason is he thought he had time and distance to pass a vehicle. I don't know if it was a no pass zone but I would think so jist because it is a straight road but I don't know in that area. Driving for 40 plus years and seen alot like most, bottom line he made a costly mistake. My thinking is how could he not see headlights from other vehicle in distance coming at him when he went over to start to pass.. but these are mental mistakes without a reset or do over button..
Everyone that gets out on the hwy needs to watch theses videos. Educate people on what can happen. Slow down, safety first, and watch others move's and give space. Biker dudes. Slow down! Everyone is driving too fast.
So many driver mis-calculate how much space they have between them passing and an oncoming car. The speed is multiplied by two since they are heading toward each other. This means that you have 1/2 the normal time that you would otherwise be approaching a fixed object on the side of the road. At 70 mph each (a combined 140 mph), that space is closing faster than a 747’s landing speed (120 mph). Don’t pass unless you have what looks like a mile of open space in front of you. Otherwise, you’re playing Russian roulette.
I wonder why we need to have nearly 4 mins of watching injured people get loaded into ambulances and helicopters? 30 seconds would have an equal impact.
You need to watch 100 of these before getting your driver's license. Mandatory!
It would make no difference since many idiots think that it’ll never happen to them because they are great drivers
Absolutely!!
I feel like I've watched about 100 of them in my life, it is always a sobering reminder that this could happen to ANY OF US. It has helped me learn what the speed limit means, and they've helped me abide by it. I am 21 and my dream has always been to go into car safety, real world stuff is no joke for sure!

I will never understand it. Where do they have to be that it’s worth risking their lives, their passengers, and innocent people on the road.
Unreal. I ride motorcycles a lot and I see what some of my brothers do on those too... INSANE.

I’ve lost count on how many time’s I’ve had to move to shoulder to avoid a collision from some idiot who is to damn impatient and I drive an 18 wheeler that is governed at 65. RIP to those tragically died and my condolences too the families who lost their loved ones.
I wonder if people know that their health insurance (if they have it) or Medicare/Medicaid, does *not* cover Life Flight transport? You'll get billed for the cost directly (or, if you die, your family is billed), and if the bill is not paid then wages are garnished, Social Security payments taken, and all your assets have liens placed on them. The minimum cost of a very short flight (2-5 miles) is well north of $10,000
My husband was taken by Life Flight 2.5 hours away, due to his requirement to be at the hospital where he received his kidney transplant. We were not billed, and insurance did, indeed, pay 100% of the bill. Thankfully, because, yes it is exceptionally expensive. Back then in the early 2000s, it cost $2500 for the chopper to both lift off and land (so, x 4), plus the cost per mile. It depends on the insurance. We had private insurance through his employer, because he still worked at the time, although he was off on medical leave. If someone truly didn't have it covered, then they would work out payment plans with them, and many will do write offs for tax purposes. If absolutely necessary, people have had to declare bankruptcy to discharge medical debt. In those cases, people usually can still keep their homes and other possessions.
@@jenx5870 - You are soooooooooooooooooooooo wrong... these leeches will take all of your assets, and will try to sell your children into slavery if they can get away with it.
Thats one expensive ride right there!
Prayers for thefamilies involved. I travel 105 and 321 everyday and i have seen two fatality accident on 321 in the last month from trying to pass without making sure its safe. God bless everyone involved. All of these people need to either leave earlier or just slow down. I work about 35 minutes from my job and i leave an hour before time just so i dont have to drive fast to get there. I can take my time and get myself and someone elses family members home or to work safely
Thank u so much I am the mans doughter and the 15 year d sister thank you so much for praying for us
I really wish kids in drivers training would have to watch a few of theses videos.
My condolences for the family and friends.😔
Thank u so much my mother hasn’t stop crying but we will have to be strong
Horrific. The sound of this wreck is something nightmares are made of. Why why why why? The survivors will never be the same.
Why switch to the firetruck. We have seen hundred of them! Keep the camera on the activity in the accident please.
He can't film the removal of the victims from the vehicles for their privacy. Therefore, when you see him switch to filming something mundane, you can be sure it's due to the emergency workers removing someone.
Sgt Burse you have guts of steel and a heart of gold
how are the pipes still on top of that truck he tied them down good
How many listen to it again like me he does have a nice voice in decency ppl I’m married just complimenting
I dont like passing so i avoid it at all costs unless behind farm equipment but they usually go to side as much as possible
Prayers for the families and the first responders.
First of all, prayers go out to all the deceased, the young man who lived through this, and those who were airlifted. Could someone please explain which truck caused the accident? I am confused as they are both black pick up trucks? Thank you.
The truck with the railing with the ladders on it , thers boys were in a mad hurry to get to somewhere , this is a work truck and its full of nails tools etc etc, im in Ireland Brenda but this is how im reading this , heavy impact here how anybody survived this is just pure lucky ,you would think it was a bomb that destroyed the trucks
@@johnnoonan5802 Thank you for your help! You are so right on the fact that anyone at all lived through this! These vehicles are a mangled mess. So sad! Again, thank you for explaining! ( I have to say that it is a pleasure talking to you! I have always wanted to visit Ireland!) God bless!
@@brendafile612 Hi there Brenda thank you for your message , well do what its only going to get worse on the roads as no one has any patience,, its all go now and no one is shouting stop ,even on country roads here where i like to travel at say 50 mph which is fast enough even to get a look at the countryside,, which i like doing there are fools up my back s//de trying to drive through my car and out the other side ,so its everywhere, what part of the US are you living in ,the last time i was in the US was 1985 on a six month holiday visa ,them was the days as we say here ,, all the best ,keep in touch if you like , im just in from work as we were getting an aircraft ready for going to Frankfurt its a Boeing 777 bye for now ,
@@johnnoonan5802 Nice hearing back from you! I live in a very small town, Mt.Olive, Illinois. Mt. Olive is right in between St. Louis Mo. and Springfield IL., 50 miles distance to either. I can believe you about the country speeds. Why they decide to go fast on country roads is beyond me! But yes, stay in touch , I would like that. If I may ask , what is your occupation? My father was a mechanic back in the day, he worked on jets, etc. He was with the National Guard in Springfield Il. Sorry this is a little long, but again, so nice chatting with you, and keep in touch when you can! God Bless!!

I would guess that the 15yr old had a seatbelt on.
70 to 0 in 1/10 of a second, that's a lot of energy transfer.
I never understand how someone can go to pass without it being clear ahead. Then also why they
Don't break and get back over.
Chris Watson *brake, not break.
@@jumpinjojo Yes, sorry typo.
I’m gonna take a wild guess and say they thought it was clear when they started to pass.
CAUSE THEY ARE STUPID AND THOUGHTLESS, AND YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID!!!!!!!
The people that get in serious trouble passing often start out bad by being too close to the vehicle they are attempting to pass. You can't see ahead when tight behind a semi. You also can't increase your speed to overtake before actually passing. They then swing out and don't have any speed built up to get through the danger zone quickly. BAM
I think 105 is cursed by the native Indians. 105 has the most fatal accident
As a trucker all I can say is rip such a senseless act
Scott, would you mind answering a question? Was the drone that was seen in your video, one of yours?
It’s a Texas DPS accident investigation drone.
It amazes me how many of your videos are from SH 105. I really like this cop. Sad all the things emergency services have to deal with. God bless them all.
That's good that you get them to explain what happened that's what a lot of those viewers would like to know what caused the actual crash
My prayers are with both families God bless everyone
Prayers are about as useful as these wrecked trucks are for driving.
Thank u so much I am a member of one of dose family’s I am the sister of the 15 year old kid
That’s really awful to say that about prayers / I can’t help but keep those family’s in my prayers
@@bigdonw689 Prayers are nothing more than just glorified wishes.
2 of the same trucks?
Prayers to those involved.
In my 20 years of being a firefighter I’ve been to all kinds of suicides, murders, and wrecks but wrecks are by far the calls that stick with you the most and not in a good way
I pray for you all all the time
They say, the likelihood of survival in a bigger vehicle when in an accident is higher, but in this case it didn't really matter.. RIP to the deceased... perhaps TX needs to re-engineer that road to have passing lanes every few miles if there's enough straightaaways..
That's how it is here. (Trans-Canada NW Ontario) splits for a few miles every 10-20 miles. Some people who were driving slowly seem to subconsciously or deliberately speed up when it splits for some reason however.
How fast was this collision? No BS guesses, but real estimations? 65mph-ish?
I’m in Australia, and we have the westpac choppers as our life flight. I live directly in the path it takes to get to Sydney. Every weekend I hear it multiple times. My heart sinks as I think of someone probably not making it home that night. It’s horrifying.
Prayers for a speedy recovery rip to the3 that died
Yes thanks we are very lucky that my brother the 15 year old survived but not my dad😔
Yuliana Maldonado trolling for attention... rediculous
It's terrible. Take your time driving and be patient and slow down. Three simple things.
Never seen vehicles so destroyed........slow down people, damn.
Yea same he has 2 sons the 15 year old kid and a younger one and 2 doughters me and my little sister that she is just 2 and a wife so sad
Yuliana Maldonado So sorry this happened......
HEARTBREAKING 💔😓💔😓
People make mistakes and people die. People who make rude and uncaring comments are going to make a mistake one day.
My condolences to all families of the lost ones. May those in the hospital heal completely.
Oh how horrible! Prayers for victims and families, always for first responders.
Chopper pilot knows his job. Coming down onto a road surrounded by high voltage lines in the dark.
Some people never learn. Unfortunately this is only a lesson you learn prior to hitting the road and passing.
You Texans drive with ur headlights on at all times?
Doesn't everyone? I suppose some people may have theirs off, but a lot people just keep theirs on in order to be more visible. In some countries, it is a requirement to have your headlights on during the day, for that very reason. You say that, as if that would make we Texans stupid, but it would make us better drivers. Just because you're watching a channel from Texas that follows accidents, that doesn't mean that there aren't a hell of a lot more in other states.
Most probably in a hurry to get home after working all day- now will never get home...
Did you shoot this on a potato?
Good text box. Clear reporting.
All this because they wanted to pass. We as humans need to re-evaluate our thinking and need to stop being so self absorbed and selfish. I like to call it the Veruka Salt syndrome... “I WANT it and I WANT it N O W” It’s disgusting and Sad!!
What are people doing that they crash this bad??
Cemeteries are full of people who passed. ☠️☠️💀💀
Passing can be done safely. It's all about timing and visability. Sadly some people try to pass when they can't see, I have seen blind passes many times. Always hope it's a log truck coming the other way and not a car with kids in it.
pun intentional?
Really ? I didn't know that.
Cemeteries are only filled with people who passed 🤨
Everybody Please Slow Down...
All this about being in a hurry to get home impatient balh blah. The driver was not on a suicide mission. The main reason is he thought he had time and distance to pass a vehicle. I don't know if it was a no pass zone but I would think so jist because it is a straight road but I don't know in that area. Driving for 40 plus years and seen alot like most, bottom line he made a costly mistake. My thinking is how could he not see headlights from other vehicle in distance coming at him when he went over to start to pass.. but these are mental mistakes without a reset or do over button..
These vehicles are so badly wreck, that you have to focus really hard to see what part of what is the actually vehicle. 😔
Everyone that gets out on the hwy needs to watch theses videos. Educate people on what can happen. Slow down, safety first, and watch others move's and give space. Biker dudes. Slow down! Everyone is driving too fast.
Easily preventable
Keep on rushing people. And this will happen to you.
Nails everywhere? Maybe roofers? Kind of makes you think, doesn't it.
So many driver mis-calculate how much space they have between them passing and an oncoming car. The speed is multiplied by two since they are heading toward each other. This means that you have 1/2 the normal time that you would otherwise be approaching a fixed object on the side of the road. At 70 mph each (a combined 140 mph), that space is closing faster than a 747’s landing speed (120 mph). Don’t pass unless you have what looks like a mile of open space in front of you. Otherwise, you’re playing Russian roulette.
I wonder why we need to have nearly 4 mins of watching injured people get loaded into ambulances and helicopters? 30 seconds would have an equal impact.
No it wouldn’t have.
You wouldn’t have complained.
