Prayers to the family & friends of this truck driver! A dangerous job hauling certain things! Thankful to the many truckers risking their lives everyday for the greater good of society to function normally!😢🙏🏽
Awe man, another driver, my brother gone. It’s tragic even if the driver is at fault. Miscalculated the curve and tankers having liquid have load shift issues. No matter thoughts are with the drivers family. As a trucker we feel and hurt every time a driver dies. It’s a burden we carry everyday. That 1 thing can go wrong hand we don’t return to our family. Over 900 truck drivers die every year. That’s almost 3 a day. It’s a dangerous job. But we do it selflessly. Sacrifice. For America. For you the people.
Same here brother. I've driven tankers my whole carrier. And while this isn't my worst fear for me, it is for my brother's and sisters. Shiney side up driver...
Women yelling it’s burning beside us, we have to move fast but continues to rubberneck and drive slowly past it to film. What a winner. Got to remember to film that tragedy.
1999 , the same thing happened to a temporary truck driver. He was filling in for someone, had a company inspector behind him. South bound on 95, talking on his phone to a friend, “OHH SHIT, HANG ON “ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Took the exit ramp too fast, hit guardrail, flipped truck on right side and down a short embankment and burst into flames 🔥. I was maybe 900 yards away and heard the truck crash, two minutes later there was black smoke like this crash. Then heard the tires exploding. The heat melted the vinyl siding on a new house 50 yards away, luckily the owner had not moved in yet. The state cop doing the investigation wasn’t going to put speed as a factor, till one of his coworkers said,,, are you nuts ! It’s a tri-axel trailer, THE MOST STABLE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD !! Needless to say, speed was added to the report.
Truckers have to haul it, because the pipelines were cancelled. 1000s of trucks, instead of 1 pipeline. Environmental experts... ruining the world for generations.
On the news, they are concerns of the roads, soil, environmental issues, smoke, fire, traffic, the bridge, fuel, flames, smoke and roads - no one is speaking of the driver. No condolences to the driver’s family. All interviewed talks of the impact of the truck and damage the fuel is causing and blah blah blah - no one mentions the driver. This is the world we live in. My condolences to the driver’s family.
Being a tank driver for 27 years if it was a curve the liquid went to the side of tank cause a flip over if that was the case speed was a factor thos diesel /gas tanks have baffles in them i dont know curious to find out R.I.P.
Probably had baffles might not have. I'm a tanker yanker as well. My money is on speed or a steer tire blew. If the diesel got on the turbo or exhaust manifold she would have popped pretty easy.
I'm trying to get my CDL as a class b but even those jobs can still be dangerous. I really hate seeing stuff like this. R.I.P. to the driver and family.
Not sure how he ended up falling off the bridge because he was already in the RT8 lane that goes straight to 271. There's like a mile long barrier between RT 8 going straight into Macedonia and the left ramp going to 271. He probably wasn't paying attention when he came upon the curve.
I'm a truck driver and I've seen it before the guy missed his exit and instead of just going to the next exit and then backtracking and getting to where he needed to go he tried to whip it across and make his exit and this is what happened and now he's dead if you miss your exit you just go to the next exit and turn around and go back and only takes a couple minutes been there done that
So sad, trying to earn a living, I remembercwhen this was a regular occurence, when truckers took benies to make the 18 hour hauls, often back to back, just to eke out a marginal living. The rail system could have been incorporated into the trucking system to allow an end to the punishing long-haul schedules, letting truckers pick up the loads at central sites, distribute them locally and sleep in their own beds at night But the hide-bound profit-mad systems would not make it possible.
Sending blessings of healing ,compassion ,kindness ,to the truck driver loved ones and freinds of this tanker driver..blessings to all truck drivers who get products to their destination..💙🇨🇦🇺🇲🚛🚚
I noticed that in this report nothing was mentioned about the diesel fuel going into the creek other than by the local resident. So is the state going to look into what happened to the diesel fuel flowing Downstream?
The reporter at the scene did close her report by saying that an environmental contractor for the Ohio EPA will assess what will be needed to abate the environmental impact, which is a basic dodge, because like the deadly train derailment that spilled all those chemicals into the east Palestine River, the chemicals will already have crossed state lines which will make it Joe Biden's EPA's problem. All federal taxpayers will pay for remediation instead of just Ohio taxpayers.
I regularly haul 7500 gallons of #2 Diesel or Fuel Oil from Newark to West NJ … I consider it safer than gasoline. It sounds like this driver simply lost control of his rig in an extremely bad place.
Yeah, he had been driving since 2018 and it was his normal route he took daily. He told his wife he'd be home by 11am. My brothers were distraught when they got the call of what happened.
We had something similar happen here in Balto., MD about 26 years ago. A propane truck rolled off the 895 bridge connecting to 95 just south of the city and blew up on impact. there were several idiots who tried to drive through the massive fireball and were incinerated in their cars. Several hundred feet of 95 had to be repaved from the heat damage. This is only the second time I've ever heard of this happening when not a result of war somewhere.
How sad. 😢 Prayers for the family. But being a 45 year member of a major fire department near DC it's what every firefighter trains for and wants to use their training. Not that we want anyone hurt or passing away. Prevention is always preferred but when an incident happens you want to respond to it. That's why we join paid or volunteer Fire and Rescue departments.
It can be a 30 mile turn around for a big truck, and if he runs out of hours on the clock, the DOT would give him a $12k fine. Yes. A huge fine. What would you risk? It's a cruel game between drivers harassing our every mile, no or closed parking and the government waiting to give us hospital bill sized fines. The pay isn't even good anymore, so sitting out a break means losing the next load, too. The job is a dangerous game, and everyone who doesn't drive spends all their time making it harder for us instead of making it fair.
@@zeroshepard9513 I've been driving for 20 years. I've been on i271 more times then I care to. He would've had to go 10 miles worse case to turn around. I don't care if you have to drive an hour to turn around. At least nobody would be dead and the only way D.O.T. is giving a ticket is if you get caught being over your hrs. If your on a road where you can't turn around, then pull over and call local police or highway patrol. They will almost always help you out with out writing tickets. Yes I've heard the story's too and half are b.s.
@eligebrown8998 Has everyone in the world been on this exit a hundred times? No. Not everyone has driven every stretch of road. I can't afford any of the fines for this job. I drive slow, but it's cost me money I need for a doctor. Still, a lot of fingers need to be pointed that make this job more unsafe. Some drivers are hot heads and pay, but some are victims of the system or even these horrid roads.
@@zeroshepard9513 I'm not sure how long you've been driving. I agree this job is stressful and your right about not everyone knows all the roads. I won't tell you any fish story's and I won't pretend I know everything after 20 years cause I don't. Get an atlas from the truckstop and read it. In the front it will tell you what roads commercial trucks are and NOT aloud on. DO NOT LET THAT ELD DRIVE YOU. In this industry you can easily make money without driving illigel and county hrs. If you are not easily making 12 to 1500 bucks a week at minimum then it's time to switch companies. If your have problems with medical bills, find insurance or just pay a couple hundred bucks a month. If your paying bills, they can not refuse payment for certain amounts. It's federal law. If your boss is stressing you out, switch dispatchers or clean your truck out next time your home, then request a load to get truck to the yard then rent a car or get a bus home. You won't get no crazy ticket for missing your exit. Remember you drive the truck, you know what you can safely do. Do not ever let anyone push you past your limits. There is a law out that protects drivers from bully dispatchers if the people in the safety office won't stand up for you.
Tankers are scary. Could be equipment issue or the liquid sloshed too much, but probably a car cut in front of the truck. You all make this ultra dangerous job 10 fold more dangerous. Especially, ohioans are awful to truckers. Also, this is why we drive slow when necessary, so stop tailgating with your family car, expecting me to take risks like that.

If we have to we slow up and hold up whole factories and retailers because it's better than never getting there. Taking your time when it's slick or the turns are sharp is how you get 30 years out of this job, otherwise...
Speeding. Clear day here Saturday.Ive been on that area severaltimes..No reason for that tohappen.Unless equipmentfailure. These young drivers are hot heads today. He was less than a hour from home. So might have been in a little hurry..Yes ive driven them No tankers. Also younger drivers on social networking media. Let's hope him and his wife wernt texting each other. They find out exactlywhat happened. No equipment failure, then it's his fault. SAD. And he has a wife and 2 year old daughter. Im betting hurry to get home. 50 miles to home.
Your a hot driver also. Cars have just as much right to be out there as you and the truck. You should take yourself off the road before you run over someone..
Thirty two years to drive a truck it happens. Back in the 90s a propane truck did the same thing. All so one tanker loaded with gasoline in Fontana california on interstate 10 blow up. Bad thing happens no matter how good and careful you are. May the Driver rest in peace. So long Driver. We'll be Praying for your family.
Yeah, it could be that, or it could be that a careless driver cut him off. I've been a delivery driver for 12 years, getting cut off and dealing with bad drivers is a daily occurrence.
My prayers and condolences for the driver's family and the company he drove for. I saw a driver burn to death in a tanker collision and it burned so hot it melted the ashfault around them. I could hear the driver yelling get back it's going to blow and say goodbye to my wife & kids. I still have nightmares about it some 50 years later.
🙏 for driver. Yet the 11 week striking technicians at Valley Ford Truck Company near Canal Road who are facing cuts in 401k are not getting ANY NEWS coverage by local channels 3. 5. 8. 19. Sad.
East Palestine train derailment a year ago, Philadelphia bridge collapse from tanker truck in June, and now this? Seems like these things are occurring with more frequency.
I wonder what caused the truck to go off the side of the highway. Did a vehicle cut him off? How come know one saw the accident? Reminds me of the accident in Texas. I seriously doubt it was because they missed their exit.
I've been driving truck for 1,000,000 miles but within the first year it was very clear that fuel tanker drivers are among the worst out here almost every single one of them drives recklessly and aggressively all the time so don't be surprised if it had something to do with reckless driving.
I keep seeing comments about the driver being at"fault". We have no idea what was going on with this parson when whay happened, happened. All we know is that he's dead. Have respect and leave dignity for a life. Rip and that's it
Being a truck driver since the early 80s my greatest fear is dieing holding the steering wheel I feel sorry for this guy and any person sitting behind the wheel
What I've never understood if Nascar has special fencing along the top of their walls to stop cars going like 200 mph from flying up in the stands then why don't overpasses, bridges & etc to stop cars & trucks from going over?
So the fuel did get into Indian creek then? Buddy must of been going fast or fell asleep that is the only way something like that can happen or a front tire blow out on the truck but that is too bad tankers carrying flabble liquids and just liquids need to slow down around turns if that fuel sloches in the tank it can cause the truck to flip right over if the tank is partly full.
I've driven tankers my whole carrier, and I'm here to tell you that it can flip when full as well... in my uneducated opinion I would say it was speed or a tire.... steer tire blows and it's a miracle if you don't roll her, regardless of speed.
He'd been driving since 2018, this was his daily route he took. He had called his wife said he'd be home by 11am but than this happened. All thats known is his truck did lose control but the cause is unknown yet
RIP to the Driver, Condolences to his family!🙏🙏🙏
As unfortunate as this accident is, can we all appreciate how many tankers make it safely to their destinations every day keeping America moving?
Keeping the world moving.
It sounds like this driver made a last second attempt to take an exit, and didn't make it.
>> IF
Negligence*
@-108- When you zoom in seems he was speeding around the curve but obviously can't know for sure. Also he may have thought he could take the curve but the weight said otherwise.
And not just tanker trucks.
As a trucker myself it's always best to miss the exit even if it will make you late. Better late than never...

You would think that witness FROM the bridge would come forward .
There shouldn't be any lane changing on that elevated curve . Did a passenger car cut the driver off , or was speed + load , the sole cause ?

Seems there were two smoke plumes maybe he hit the divider and split open, and continued to spill his load as he skidded over the ramp

They find out exactlywhat happened. No equipment failure, then it's his fault. SAD. And he has a wife and 2 year old daughter. Im betting hurry to get home. 50 miles to home.
Your comment was ignorant
Your a hot driver also. Cars have just as much right to be out there as you and the truck. You should take yourself off the road before you run over someone..
Get the fuck off the highway
Thirty two years to drive a truck it happens. Back in the 90s a propane truck did the same thing. All so one tanker loaded with gasoline in Fontana california on interstate 10 blow up. Bad thing happens no matter how good and careful you are. May the Driver rest in peace. So long Driver. We'll be Praying for your family.
Daily inspection is required but I wonder how many do it. Many do not understand complacency and the danger it harbors.
Speed kills! I've seen too many 18 wheelers drive way too fast around that bridge!
I agree. He was in a hurry to get home Speed
I think he was a pretty young driver. 2 years over the road. And 1 year somewhere else
It's tricky. He probably hit it a little hard. I've been on the section
This is similar to what happened in Philadelphia not too long ago.
Prayers to the driver and family.🙏
Was he texting while driving ? Going too fast . ? Accidents don't just happen they are caused . Sad . RIP .
Yeah, it could be that, or it could be that a careless driver cut him off. I've been a delivery driver for 12 years, getting cut off and dealing with bad drivers is a daily occurrence.
My prayers and condolences for the driver's family and the company he drove for. I saw a driver burn to death in a tanker collision and it burned so hot it melted the ashfault around them. I could hear the driver yelling get back it's going to blow and say goodbye to my wife & kids. I still have nightmares about it some 50 years later.
RIP to the driver, but what's with the headline? The tanker truck loses control? I think it was the driver who lost control.
They are going to have to check the structural integrity of that bridge because, as well all know, fire can bring down a 110-story building...😉
🙏 for driver. Yet the 11 week striking technicians at Valley Ford Truck Company near Canal Road who are facing cuts in 401k are not getting ANY NEWS coverage by local channels 3. 5. 8. 19. Sad.
On the count of Three let the Conspiracy's begin
There are several comments above yours already alluding to that!
@@randallmarsh1187 Above means after my post was posted. So it has begun
did she mention the words Cleveland and environmental concerns?
East Palestine train derailment a year ago, Philadelphia bridge collapse from tanker truck in June, and now this? Seems like these things are occurring with more frequency.
You can thank "social media" for that.
R.I.P. 🙏
I wonder what caused the truck to go off the side of the highway. Did a vehicle cut him off? How come know one saw the accident? Reminds me of the accident in Texas. I seriously doubt it was because they missed their exit.
Yeah he wouldn't of missed the exit. The dude had been driving since 2018 an this was his daily route he took.
He knew the roads very well.
RIP Driver
now how do you have fuel spilling into the water and not catching fire when the rest of the truck explodes????
Poor man. God rest his soul. Please comfort his family and friends. In Jesus' name, Amen.
It’s amazing the bridge didn’t collapse like a couple of towers did with even less fuel to flash start the fires.
I've been driving truck for 1,000,000 miles but within the first year it was very clear that fuel tanker drivers are among the worst out here almost every single one of them drives recklessly and aggressively all the time so don't be surprised if it had something to do with reckless driving.
"I've NEVER Driven through a diesel fuel Fire before in my Life!!!" .... well DAAAA !!!
🙏 for family of truck driver.
The driver was extremely close to my brothers. He will be dearly missed. The accident took everyone by surprise
😮wow
Very sad for the driver 😢
Rest in Peace Driver.. We're all feeling it!!
Sincerest condolences 💐 ❤️🩹🙏🏾🙏🏾
RIP to the driver🙏🏾
I keep seeing comments about the driver being at"fault". We have no idea what was going on with this parson when whay happened, happened. All we know is that he's dead. Have respect and leave dignity for a life. Rip and that's it
Being a truck driver since the early 80s my greatest fear is dieing holding the steering wheel I feel sorry for this guy and any person sitting behind the wheel
What I've never understood if Nascar has special fencing along the top of their walls to stop cars going like 200 mph from flying up in the stands then why don't overpasses, bridges & etc to stop cars & trucks from going over?
Good lawd!!! Always hated tanker loads.
It was probably delivering diesel to power the electric car charging station generators.
This is only the beginning Cleveland was on the list for those of you that weren't paying attention
Dude some ppl just wanna be on tv I swear like damn just mind your damn business
Sometimes tankers throw in a surprise when you change lanes or speed, they can be unpredictable.
So the fuel did get into Indian creek then? Buddy must of been going fast or fell asleep that is the only way something like that can happen or a front tire blow out on the truck but that is too bad tankers carrying flabble liquids and just liquids need to slow down around turns if that fuel sloches in the tank it can cause the truck to flip right over if the tank is partly full.
I've driven tankers my whole carrier, and I'm here to tell you that it can flip when full as well... in my uneducated opinion I would say it was speed or a tire.... steer tire blows and it's a miracle if you don't roll her, regardless of speed.
He'd been driving since 2018, this was his daily route he took.
He had called his wife said he'd be home by 11am but than this happened.
All thats known is his truck did lose control but the cause is unknown yet
@@SnowTopHusky tragedy...
Anyone know what the driver's name was? Asking for a friend.
Jason Steven's, he'd been trucking since 2018
God rest his soul
May he rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😢
This is Déjà vu!
I saw this scene few months ago.
