As a young man I joined my town's Volunteer FD all gun-ho and loved it. After 9 years I "hung up my "gloves" so to speak because I could no longer stand the screams and almost "unhuman" moans and sounds of people hurt in bad car wrecks. I respect the men and women who answer the call to these scenes because you never know when your "gonna" come up on something that is beyond description.
You can't even recognize the interior of that Cadillac. All of that because one person decided to pass when they didn't have a clear shot. People need to have patience!
ther1rida ther1rida ... back in the old days the people that got there first , did most of the work, they didn’t have all the fancy air jaws, saws, tools to cut a car in half. It was farm boys normal people who weren’t afraid to get in amongst it , and figer out to get the job done, ripped doors off by hand lifted cars up to get free, then got back in their cars , pickups ,and left , ambulance showed up ,along with a cop or 2 to get the story done deal . But now every body just stands there gawkin , then the fire and rescue show up , 300 lbs per. Walk around laying out their tools , hoses ,etc. it’s all most a joke , the look in then out come the air tools etc. 1-2 hours the wounded and the dead are taken away , I think it was faster backin the day
R I P.....the birds are singing so beautiful....we do not have them here in Washington State......( those kind of birds ) I gave thumbs up, not for the fatal accident, but for the good reporting.......prayers to their families
My thoughts exactly! He still didn't reach his destination and even worse than that, he took the life of an innocent driver and severely injured his passenger as well.
The Caddy had no right to take the other persons life and to just arrive two or three mins earlier if he would have made it another thing I don’t know how EMS and fire fighters can handle so much stress it like being in a war zone daily.
Xavier Xavier ... The problem with this is that no matter how fast you travel, sooner or later there are going to be traffic lights (or roundabouts in England) and the people that were overtaken will be sitting next to you - waiting for the lights to change...So no time is saved in the long run...
@@roostersideburns3440 I have never been very aggressive, especially after taking a summer's worth of Driver's Ed classes. When I am passing a bicyclist or adult pedestrian, I slow down and give them as wide a berth as possible. If I see kids or young families walking on the road (very common around here), I slow to a crawl to make sure I pass them safely. There is almost no passing allowed on two-lane roads (one lane in each direction) here, and admittedly it can be a little irritating to be behind someone who thinks that the posted speed limit of 50kmh/30mph is "too fast", especially when there is open road in front of them and a big line forming behind them.
You know what is more tragic? NOT being born again as Jesus talks about in the Scripture! If you are not saved by putting your trust (faith) on Christ alone, Jesus say's that there will be an eternity in the lake of fire (Hell) where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
Worked many fatal crashes. Never pleasant, but 99.9% are avoidable. The worst was a mother high on pot decided she needed snacks and loaded the kids in the van then hit a car with two elderly people head on. The elderly couple both died and 2 of the woman's 3 kids died. The woman lived too. The baby survived in its car seat. I spent an hour and a half cutting her 9 year old daughter out from under the dash. It was tough, I knew the girl from my job as a school police officer. Over 30 years ago, but I remember it like it was last night. I had talked to that girl the day before at school too.
I Fully Agree that Most Fatal Accidents are Avoidable. Seen a Lot of Teenagers Killed because of Speed and Alcohol/Drug Use. When I was 17, I Helped put a Good Friend of Mine in a Body bag after We Pried What was Left of Him out of What was Left of His Car. He was Drinking and Driving, Took a Sharp Curve Too Fast, and Hit an Oak Tree at 110 MPH. Troopers said It didn't Look like He Tried to Stop. Still Hurts to Think about It after All These Years.
@johnnybryant4439 we cut the same kid out of two cars from two single car wrecks. How he survived either one no one knows. One he had just let a girl out at her home and then a half mile away hit a tree backwards so hard a keg of beer flew 150 feet and destroyed a garage door. The kid was high and drunk. The girl he let out of the car would have died. She heard the crash from her house.
@@johnstark4723 I have seen Accidents Where I thought They were a Fatal, but The People were Barely Injured and I have Seen Accidents that Were Fatal, but The Vehicles had Minimal Damage. Never know What We are Rolling To until We get There.
@pamelabrumfield7679 I did it for 12 years. The last ambulance call I went on was strange to say the least. It was Thanksgiving 1992 and we had a cardiac call. Loaded the guy up and was doing CPR on him and just after leaving the house I got him back. His response was "why did you do that, I'm just going to die tonight anyway". Got a call the next day telling me the guy died during the night. I just look at it as his family at least got to see him one more time.
I bet the Caddy driver intended to pass the three vehicles ahead of him so he could make an immediate left turn just after the curve straightened out BECAUSE that is the world we live in today. Stupid now outweighs intelligence.
I notice that before they get home they will drive faster once there street is coming up, then they tailgate you then take their turn fast. I don't get it, are they expecting their loved one cheating just to hurry on that last turn? I don't fuckin get it you save not even a seconds really but end up wearing your tires and brakes.
If you wanna observe how STUPID the herd really is take a drive around the block. And sadly dumb people are having more dumb people while they're smart people counterpart are having less smart people. What do you think happens after a few generations of this? Exactly what's happened between 1950 and today. The herd is being overrun by STUPID people. That's the case here in the states and its VERY obvious. But is that happening on a global scale? Hopefully not.
I have noticed that people in "high end cars" seemingly have a attitude of they are entitled to "me first" and get out of my way thinking. SMH dead is dead the only thing they can change is open coffin or closed coffin.
It's actually every _person_ with that attitude. Pickup truck drivers, "high end cars", Cooper Mini, Subaru wrx (Except @Kim Andrews below👇😁), Nitrous Hondas, the Scion/Toyota Sports Car, "Hemis". It's not the "fancy car", it's the "ME FIRST" (even If I'm only going to Costco, or the Gas Station)

Seeing this devastating wreck takes me back to and my niece and I wreck, thanks be to almighty God, and our guardian angels that were with us that horrible day.. 35 northbound in austin, Sept 13, 2012..I was driving and suddenly started hydroplane heading straight for the cement highway divider which caused me to go sideways on the highway..last thing I remember was looking to my left and seeing this huge 18 wheelers grill coming right for us on my side..now this part some of you may or may not believe or understand, but the millisecond before he hit us I was not afraid, just this incredible feeling of calm, peace and serenity taking over my entire body..this is a 4 lane highway and remember I was going sideways towards this truck..when he struck us of course we both were knocked unconscious..get this..not only survived the impact but when we landed we did so on all 4 wheels on the grassy side of the road! Next thing I remember was being surrounded by my "other" angels, 5 firemen putting a neck brace on me then using the jaws of life to get my door off since it was crunched from direct impact ..all in all my niece came away with a broken arm, broken ribs, concussion, cuts and scraps from all the windows on my side being shattered, windshield not even a crack! I was not as lucky, head trauma, (bleeding of the brain) but next day it just healed itself..shattered wrist, broken ribs, bruises and cuts...dont remember how many doctors I saw but every single one of them would come to my room and stare in disbelief..then saying to me, "you are a walking miracle" or " you were very lucky Emily " they all said never have they treated a patient who had a direct impact on my side door from a 18 wheeler going around 55-60 ..and live So my friends, yes it was indeed, that I am not dead and my niece ..or paralyzed or severe brain damage..my God I believe saved us for a reason and sent His angels to protect us..not a doubt in my mind..I just pray I am doing what He wants me to do with my time I have been blessed to have ..and the "earth angels" firemen and EMS personnel, I thank you for helping me..the doctors and nurses..bless you as well..God bless 🙏 everyone reading this..peace be with you all..be safe..🙏
I bet I have not passed a car on a 2 lane road in 30 years, and NEVER on a curve. there is no where I need to be 5 minutes sooner . nice country road there, just slow down and enjoy the drive
It sickens me to see innocent people like the woman in the minivan die because of reckless drivers doing foolish things. Trying to pass three vehicles in a curve. What could go wrong?
Thanks Scott for bringing reality back, most appreciated! Every mum and dad should show these vids to their kids when they are learning how to drive. Scott after filming and attending these horrific crashes,how do you feel driving back home ? Edgy, scared, more alert ??? regards Paul
This is sad, but why do people drive reckless and irresponsible? Its only a matter of time before stuff like this happens. Witnesses said they saw the driver of the cadilllac trying to pass other vehicles and then boom! I really don’t feel bad for people who get hurt or die that drive like that. If that makes me a terrible person..oh well. All of my sadness is for the people who were victims of someone’s stupidity.
All because the caddy was in such i big hurry to git to nowhere except the head on & land in a ditch, which cost both drivers of the vehicles their lives. So very sad. Please be careful out there, ya'll!
I live near a highway that is constantly closed for fatality accidents almost always caused by cars passing in dangerous situations. People that do this not only get killed, but kill innocent people as well. It’s maddening
Such Destruction! Devastation. And, then, All Quiet. The Two Souls Who had been Set Free have already made their Way To The Great Light! They have finally reached Their Glory. And, yet, we miss Them, Dearly. For it is Difficult for us mere humans to understand that Their Pain is no more; that They no longer Suffer The Cares of This World; and, mostly: That They Continue On As Eternal Souls, In The Great Light, Forever And Ever!
If ever I'm out driving and some idiot is trying to overtake in a hurry, I automatically slow down to let them pass or pull over...some ppl are just seriously bad drivers and innocent ppl die....rip ..
As for the selfish cadillac driver; I don't feel sorry about his death, but I feel sorry for the innocent van driver's death though. I hate speeders and impatient drivers, so I really have no sympathy for them.
I don't know why I watch these car crashes. I already refuse to drive because I can't stand the thoughts of being in a wreck. I try my best to avoid going out at all. I usually send someone to get what I need from the store.
I watch them a lot. I've had family and friends die (all DUI crashes). I've been hurt myself (and THAT wasn't a DUI). I used to watch a long time ago, just to see what mistakes were made that caused the crashes to occur - always look for the unexpected. It's actually saved me from some nasty accidents over the years.
Chrissie Ellis That's a good way too look at it. I never thought about watching them for that purpose. Sorry to hear about your family and friends passing away.
It DID help me. I live off Clinton Highway in East TN. 4 lane, ditch in between the lanes. There is a little bit of a blind curve and a small hill. I was coming home from work one day....speed limit 50, but I slowed down to 35. As I came over that hill/curve - a bumper went flying across my hood,as well of various car pieces - almost hit my windshield...and then, the rest of that car was sent spinning around in my lane. I went for the grassy ditch. Everyone was fine, but I was in panic mode for a good hour afterwards. I was very, very lucky.
The more mass of your car that hits the other car, the bigger the chances are the cars will absorbe the brutal kinetic forces. As one can see, this was not the case here and so the human body is left to its own vulnerable technological state of demise. RIP
The birds chirping during all this makes me think of that song.......Why do the birds go on singing? Don't they know it's end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye 😔
Take a look at that weak A pillar at 5:45! Unbelievable. Crumpled like a straw! And how far the tire came into the footwell! Toyotas certainly are reliable but never have been known for safety!
45,000 people per year die in traffic accidents and the government sits there with their fingers in their noses. How bout raising the fines for speeding & reckless driving to the moon.
Please tell me the cause was a Faulty Car, Not someone on their Cellphone or a DUI, Because Now The #1 killer in a car is Cellphone Usage! I don’t understand why people are on the phones all the time while driving-Nothing is that Important, and if you think it is-Pull your Car off the Road before Answering a Text or Call! Please!
Unbelievable how reckless some ppl can be passing other cars and hit an innocent driver head on & killed himself in the process too! What's the freaking hurry?? Slow the $uck down!!!!
I can tell that they side-swiped each other. In other words, it wasn't a direct head-on, but enough to be called a head-on. I've always hated just watching cars pass ahead of whomever I'm driving with. If there's other cars behind them, they run the risk of getting seriously injured or killed too, especially if it's a big truck coming at you, the car in front gets catapulted right back at you and there's nowhere to go.
It was more than "side-swiping". Perhaps you missed the part where the deputy stated the vehicles struck "head-on" - twice. Side swiping would not result in this amount of damage. You are incorrect.
+jay ortega Right, it's just so it looks pretty when it leaves the show room, then after leaving the parking lot, it's value instantly plummets, so you go to the grocery store lot where you bring home a ding that now has made your window rattle, your interior fall down, and the lock doesn't work lol
+jay ortega Modern cars are designed to fold up in a specific way in a collision and so dissipating the energy of the collision rather than passing it on to the occupants. IF people used all the safety equipment available to them, i.e. seatbelts, and drove according to the rules of the road there would be very few deaths on the road. But they don't...
+gosportjamie Correct. Auto safety has increased greatly. I had a 2007 Kia Spectra. March 1st, this year, my boyfriend was coming home after dropping his kids off. It was dark, and pouring rain. He had pulled into the center turn lane of the highway and was slowing down. He said he'd seen headlights way up ahead (speed limit is 55 there) and the next thing he knew, he was suddenly spinning. He had been hit head-on. The car that hit him was a Camry...and hit him so hard that the Camry not only left the roadway - it ended up over a football field's distance away in the woods! The Kia looked horrid, if you'd seen it you would have thought someone injured severely or fatal...and my guy walked away from it. I was VERY impressed by what we had laughingly called our 'golf cart' in protecting him!
Chrissie Ellis I'm glad your boyfriend walked away. I bet he was a bit sore for a while but that is expected. Generally the worse a car looks after a crash now the better it is for the occupants. Obviously though, if there has been significant intrusion into the cabin or significant crushing of the cabin that is very bad news. I hope the police threw the book at the driver of the Camry. Cars are much safer nowadays but that doesn't mean a driver can drive in a way that is unsafe because a vehicle can only do so much to save you. If a driver fails to ensure their own safety by obeying the rules of the road, driving in a manner appropriate to conditions and wearing their seatbelt then they are pretty much waiving any responsibility that the vehicle manufacturer has to protect them. If everyone drove according to the rules and conditions and took the most basic precautions towards their own safety there would be very few road deaths...
Janajamom Palao True. The entire steering column collapsed and the dash - all gauges froze at the readings when it was hit. He ended up with a couple of small cuts, and some really spectacular bruising, but was fine. He did have on his seat belt, and the airbags did deploy.
This happens over 5 years ago.. I wonder where the passenger is today? Did she survive? Be careful WHO you ride with they can kill you if you make poor decisions. There are some hints that can help you with that decision but unfortunately you need to ride with the driver at least once to decide 1) does the driver give others respect 2) does the driver make you nervous (like following too closely... constantly braking and accelerating) 3) is the driver impatient (like they can't get "there" fast enough) 4) does the driver speed? Good drivers give others the right-of-way (they don't argue about it).
This is a prime example of why I drive only..ever. I do not trust anyone with my life . I think about the lady who was a passenger in the man's car. Imagine how she might've felt as he pulled out and attempted to pass 3 cars...on a curve no less. Unfortunately the lady in the minivan paid the ultimate price for absolute stupid driving.
This is a brutal violent crash. I hope the victims did not suffer.Senseless loss of life.Cars are not armored tanks, they are basically Thin metal " boxes" dressed up fancy!! All the safety air bags etc..... Will not protect anyone for poor judgement. The birds chirping gives me the chills, I am glad birds don't cry, but Doves do!!!RIP.
I never understood why anybody would pass on a curve you're not really supposed to even if you are in a passing Lane I know the feeling of trying to get somewhere kind of quick but sometimes you just have to slow down and realize that you're going to be screwed because of traffic I think we've all been there time or two where it's like well I guess I better bite the bullet I have no choice now to be stuck behind these people for a little while better to be safe than sorry 😔 now it appears that possibly kids are going to be growing up without their mother.
Is there some little girl or some little boy, or more than one child, crying for a mommy who will not be coming home anymore? The Cadillac driver died after the woman he killed inn the van, and I often wonder of people killed at the same time, during the same incident, meet up in Heaven (or hell, or they may go to opposite places.)?
It's time for car manufacturers to implement a frontal fast-inflating air-bag somewhere in the bumper cover, a device attached under the bumper, that would inflate at a fast rate when the car is in an unavoidable trajectory for a head-on collision. I'm sure this additional safety device could also be installed on semis and other types of vehicles. It would permit people to escape unharmed from what could be a fatal situation, one seen more than often.
Norman Jaquemot how is it gonna determine the difference between a head on collision and being behind a car? Or meeting a car on the highway on a curve. Would help but I'm not sure it's possible for it to only work when needed
Interesting & 100% impractical suggestion. Life has risks. Physics are physics. Delusional flights of fantasy are that intelligence alone can eliminate all risks. Sorry, option NOT available.
@@psalm2forliberty577 : I don't take NO as an answer. I don't like seeing people killed in frontal collisions. There's a flaw, and it needs to be corrected. We have the technology.
@@NormanJaquemotRebel Then go the next step & suggest a design - if you have solved the 'riddle'. Anyone who declares with certitude "I won't accept NO...", must by logical inference have a "YES...and here's HOW we achieve said goal" We have the technology ? Please do tell. Your comment makes it sound as if "why don't we just whip up a 'collision preventer' has practical merit. What youre suggesting is on a physics level is a non-sequiter (sp): As my Dad used to say "You can't get there from here" Perhaps youre imbued of the silly notion that we as kids used to jest about how to prevent death from falling: 'why not just jump up at the last second ?' Lol - as if such were possible, right ? In reality, todays Autos are MUCH safer in collisions by 10-20x versus 1950s models. BUT there are limits AND common sense and caution ARE mandatory. In this case negative human action even SINFUL BEHAVIOR - utter failure to exercise MORAL restraint, utter lack of considering others safety as important as ones own (on part of Cadillac driver) was the killer - not lack of sufficiently advanced tech. Btw, RIP to the totally innocent Toyota Van driver - can't fathom the loss her family endured.

35 northbound in austin, Sept 13, 2012..I was driving and suddenly started hydroplane heading straight for the cement highway divider which caused me to go sideways on the highway..last thing I remember was looking to my left and seeing this huge 18 wheelers grill coming right for us on my side..now this part some of you may or may not believe or understand, but the millisecond before he hit us I was not afraid, just this incredible feeling of calm, peace and serenity taking over my entire body..this is a 4 lane highway and remember I was going sideways towards this truck..when he struck us of course we both were knocked unconscious..get this..not only survived the impact but when we landed we did so on all 4 wheels on the grassy side of the road! Next thing I remember was being surrounded by my "other" angels, 5 firemen putting a neck brace on me then using the jaws of life to get my door off since it was crunched from direct impact ..all in all my niece came away with a broken arm, broken ribs, concussion, cuts and scraps from all the windows on my side being shattered, windshield not even a crack!
I was not as lucky, head trauma, (bleeding of the brain) but next day it just healed itself..shattered wrist, broken ribs, bruises and cuts...dont remember how many doctors I saw but every single one of them would come to my room and stare in disbelief..then saying to me, "you are a walking miracle" or " you were very lucky Emily " they all said never have they treated a patient who had a direct impact on my side door from a 18 wheeler going around 55-60 ..and live
So my friends, yes it was indeed, that I am not dead and my niece ..or paralyzed or severe brain damage..my God I believe saved us for a reason and sent His angels to protect us..not a doubt in my mind..I just pray I am doing what He wants me to do with my time I have been blessed to have ..and the "earth angels" firemen and EMS personnel, I thank you for helping me..the doctors and nurses..bless you as well..God bless 🙏 everyone reading this..peace be with you all..be safe..🙏
I bet I have not passed a car on a 2 lane road in 30 years, and NEVER on a curve. there is no where I need to be 5 minutes sooner . nice country road there, just slow down and enjoy the drive
All Of This To Save 15 Seconds!! Was It Worth It Caddy Driver?? Oh, Nevermind. You Can't Answer & You Took An Innocent Parent With You!!
So the driver of the Cadillac decided for himself AND the van driver that his hurry was worth losing both of their lives.
9 out of 10 times you wind up catching up with them, driving normally, anyway.
Try to stay off two lane roads .... near impossible though
@@markconley9279 Thats exactly what i tell my wife when i see this clowns.
Damn people! Is it really worth going around cars to get a little ahead?
Prayers for the family always, god bless you all, so sorry for loss.
A great marketing tool for Cadillac (i.e., see the Cadillac emblem on the ground). GM is going to be thrilled by this (I am a former GM employee).
It sickens me to see innocent people like the woman in the minivan die because of reckless drivers doing foolish things. Trying to pass three vehicles in a curve. What could go wrong?
It's not worth passing someone putting your life and someone's love one in danger. So sad praying for all the families God Bless
Thanks Scott for bringing reality back, most appreciated!
Every mum and dad should show these vids to their kids when they are learning how to drive.
Scott after filming and attending these horrific crashes,how do you feel driving back home ?
Edgy, scared, more alert ??? regards Paul
Thanks for this awesome video scott
This is sad, but why do people drive reckless and irresponsible? Its only a matter of time before stuff like this happens. Witnesses said they saw the driver of the cadilllac trying to pass other vehicles and then boom! I really don’t feel bad for people who get hurt or die that drive like that. If that makes me a terrible person..oh well. All of my sadness is for the people who were victims of someone’s stupidity.
Totally agree my friend. No sympathy for stupidity. 😡
Yep...another heathen off the road! Good riddance!
It looks like the Cadillac was trying to pass before a sharp turn, thats always risky. So sad.
It's been said the lady was killed. Prayers for her family
Ddrrrrrrrrrr
@@westcoastbred7745 Well, as of 5 years ago they hadn't reported if she had passed or not. Your a little late with your comment. So Ddrrrr to you too.
All because the caddy was in such i big hurry to git to nowhere except the head on & land in a ditch, which cost both drivers of the vehicles their lives. So very sad. Please be careful out there, ya'll!
I wonder what the chirping birds are saying to to each other!...I'm sure they know something bad has happened here!
Good idea by the homeowner to dig a moat for protection from high speeding drivers.
That's smart never thought about it
That’s actually for flooding purposes but it came to serve both purposes I suppose
It's a drainage ditch.
I live near a highway that is constantly closed for fatality accidents almost always caused by cars passing in dangerous situations. People that do this not only get killed, but kill innocent people as well. It’s maddening
Passing in a curve...no way was it a broken yellow line to pass there. Tragic
Want to know when it sucks to be a Cop? Days like that day.
That guy was flying. What would possess him to do that. Maybe just pure stupidity
Stupidity and lack of patience… Probably avoidable but they can’t wait that extra 30 seconds I how sad prayers to the family🙏
The survivor (Jennifer Wilganowski) went on to drive without a license and cause an "accident."
Why am I not surprised? 😕
😳
Wow,so sad.drive careful everyone..
Such Destruction!
Devastation.
And, then, All Quiet.
The Two Souls Who had been Set Free have already made their Way To The Great Light!
They have finally reached Their Glory.
And, yet, we miss Them, Dearly.
For it is Difficult for us mere humans to understand that Their Pain is no more; that They no longer Suffer The Cares of This World; and, mostly: That They Continue On As Eternal Souls, In The Great Light, Forever And Ever!
Ive lived in Texas for 35 years and I did not know there was a place called "Cut-N-Shoot, Texas".
fatalities are sad
Sad. Let me guess, one of them just HAD to get past the slower car in front of them?
This makes my stomach upset.
If ever I'm out driving and some idiot is trying to overtake in a hurry, I automatically slow down to let them pass or pull over...some ppl are just seriously bad drivers and innocent ppl die....rip ..
Overtaking and Speed are the killers.
Bertie Pimplebum ... SPEED DOES NOT KILL...It's the sudden stopping that kills. Think about it.
@@rosemarydudley9954 ...Same thing applies to falling off a tall building.
Dangerous overtaking is very different from overtaking
As for the selfish cadillac driver; I don't feel sorry about his death, but I feel sorry for the innocent van driver's death though. I hate speeders and impatient drivers, so I really have no sympathy for them.
I always say to myself . . . . I’m not that big of a hurry. So I wait. People tend to get in a hurry to die.
I wonder how the caddy did on the offset crash test. Not well by the looks of this crash.
About 130pm, a Cadillac was eastbound on FM 2090 and attempting to pass three vehicles in a curve. People die in Cadillac's just like any other car.
Is it 2 people killed in Cadillac or the van ? That Cadillac is demolished. They must have been flying. Im sure the wet roads didn't help any.
Keri Whitmire he said, one in the van and one in the cadillac, passenger in the cadillac had serious injuries
Keri Whitmoire ... Yes. Wet road after a dry spell. Always bad for road users.
It is very clearly stated in both the video and in the description. Please pay attention.
dry road , no rain.
I don't know why I watch these car crashes. I already refuse to drive because I can't stand the thoughts of being in a wreck. I try my best to avoid going out at all. I usually send someone to get what I need from the store.
I watch them a lot. I've had family and friends die (all DUI crashes). I've been hurt myself (and THAT wasn't a DUI). I used to watch a long time ago, just to see what mistakes were made that caused the crashes to occur - always look for the unexpected. It's actually saved me from some nasty accidents over the years.
Mirror, mirror on the wall.....
Chrissie Ellis That's a good way too look at it. I never thought about watching them for that purpose. Sorry to hear about your family and friends passing away.
It DID help me. I live off Clinton Highway in East TN. 4 lane, ditch in between the lanes. There is a little bit of a blind curve and a small hill. I was coming home from work one day....speed limit 50, but I slowed down to 35. As I came over that hill/curve - a bumper went flying across my hood,as well of various car pieces - almost hit my windshield...and then, the rest of that car was sent spinning around in my lane. I went for the grassy ditch. Everyone was fine, but I was in panic mode for a good hour afterwards. I was very, very lucky.
Chrissie Ellis OMG wow, that sounds terrifying. So the person survived?
2:55, what a bloody chunks mess
very sad and so preventable
All of a sudden thos birds started going crazy siging..nice
Prayers
thoughts and prayers are so helpful and all
All of this could have been prevent if he slow down. Prayers for the family
The more mass of your car that hits the other car, the bigger the chances are the cars will absorbe the brutal kinetic forces. As one can see, this was not the case here and so the human body is left to its own vulnerable technological state of demise. RIP
The birds chirping during all this makes me think of that song.......Why do the birds go on singing? Don't they know it's end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye 😔
To take on 3 cars to pass is the most STUPID thing to do. I only pray for the soul he took.
Take a look at that weak A pillar at 5:45! Unbelievable. Crumpled like a straw! And how far the tire came into the footwell! Toyotas certainly are reliable but never have been known for safety!
You reckon the Cadillac fared better?
Triple pass on a curve...good lord
I'm in the UK thinking as long as nobody was in the passenger seat they should be ok. Then realising.....oh.
45,000 people per year die in traffic accidents and the government sits there with their fingers in their noses. How bout raising the fines for speeding & reckless driving to the moon.
Please tell me the cause was a Faulty Car, Not someone on their Cellphone or a DUI, Because Now The #1 killer in a car is Cellphone Usage! I don’t understand why people are on the phones all the time while driving-Nothing is that Important, and if you think it is-Pull your Car off the Road before Answering a Text or Call! Please!
The person was trying to pass several cars and hit the van head on.
Impatience
Unbelievable how reckless some ppl can be passing other cars and hit an innocent driver head on & killed himself in the process too! What's the freaking hurry?? Slow the $uck down!!!!
That Cadillac folded up 👀👀
I can tell that they side-swiped each other. In other words, it wasn't a direct head-on, but enough to be called a head-on. I've always hated just watching cars pass ahead of whomever I'm driving with. If there's other cars behind them, they run the risk of getting seriously injured or killed too, especially if it's a big truck coming at you, the car in front gets catapulted right back at you and there's nowhere to go.
It was more than "side-swiping". Perhaps you missed the part where the deputy stated the vehicles struck "head-on" - twice. Side swiping would not result in this amount of damage. You are incorrect.
What car?
is it just me or are newer cars made of a softer metal???
+jay ortega Right, it's just so it looks pretty when it leaves the show room, then after leaving the parking lot, it's value instantly plummets, so you go to the grocery store lot where you bring home a ding that now has made your window rattle, your interior fall down, and the lock doesn't work lol
+jay ortega Modern cars are designed to fold up in a specific way in a collision and so dissipating the energy of the collision rather than passing it on to the occupants. IF people used all the safety equipment available to them, i.e. seatbelts, and drove according to the rules of the road there would be very few deaths on the road. But they don't...
+gosportjamie Correct. Auto safety has increased greatly. I had a 2007 Kia Spectra. March 1st, this year, my boyfriend was coming home after dropping his kids off. It was dark, and pouring rain. He had pulled into the center turn lane of the highway and was slowing down. He said he'd seen headlights way up ahead (speed limit is 55 there) and the next thing he knew, he was suddenly spinning. He had been hit head-on. The car that hit him was a Camry...and hit him so hard that the Camry not only left the roadway - it ended up over a football field's distance away in the woods! The Kia looked horrid, if you'd seen it you would have thought someone injured severely or fatal...and my guy walked away from it. I was VERY impressed by what we had laughingly called our 'golf cart' in protecting him!
Chrissie Ellis I'm glad your boyfriend walked away. I bet he was a bit sore for a while but that is expected. Generally the worse a car looks after a crash now the better it is for the occupants. Obviously though, if there has been significant intrusion into the cabin or significant crushing of the cabin that is very bad news. I hope the police threw the book at the driver of the Camry. Cars are much safer nowadays but that doesn't mean a driver can drive in a way that is unsafe because a vehicle can only do so much to save you. If a driver fails to ensure their own safety by obeying the rules of the road, driving in a manner appropriate to conditions and wearing their seatbelt then they are pretty much waiving any responsibility that the vehicle manufacturer has to protect them. If everyone drove according to the rules and conditions and took the most basic precautions towards their own safety there would be very few road deaths...
Janajamom Palao
True. The entire steering column collapsed and the dash - all gauges froze at the readings when it was hit. He ended up with a couple of small cuts, and some really spectacular bruising, but was fine. He did have on his seat belt, and the airbags did deploy.
wich car died?
This happens over 5 years ago.. I wonder where the passenger is today? Did she survive? Be careful WHO you ride with they can kill you if you make poor decisions. There are some hints that can help you with that decision but unfortunately you need to ride with the driver at least once to decide 1) does the driver give others respect 2) does the driver make you nervous (like following too closely... constantly braking and accelerating) 3) is the driver impatient (like they can't get "there" fast enough) 4) does the driver speed? Good drivers give others the right-of-way (they don't argue about it).
Where did the log chain come from?
a wrecker truck
Prob to wrap thru wreck to tow it out of ditch.
So much for air bags!
I would like to see like the video camera of the actual accident and how they help the victims out ... Not the after math
So very sad!! If people would only think before they act upon something things like this could be avoided. 😢😢🙏🙏
This is a prime example of why I drive only..ever. I do not trust anyone with my life . I think about the lady who was a passenger in the man's car. Imagine how she might've felt as he pulled out and attempted to pass 3 cars...on a curve no less. Unfortunately the lady in the minivan paid the ultimate price for absolute stupid driving.
Some kids just lost their mom! Curse the caddilac driver!!!
Start the filming when the bodies are IN the car
This is a brutal violent crash. I hope the victims did not suffer.Senseless loss of life.Cars are not armored tanks, they are basically
Thin metal " boxes" dressed up fancy!! All the safety air bags etc..... Will not protect
anyone for poor judgement.
The birds chirping gives me the chills, I am glad birds don't cry, but Doves do!!!RIP.
so van was coming around the bend or something and caddy didn't see it.. cause both driver sides were struck.. definitely not a passing zone
Where's the Fire?
All could have been avoided had he not been in a hurry to die
When you pass, you are accelerating...
So sad
was speed a factor in this? so much damage to the cadillac! so sad!
Speeding up while trying to pass.
Toyota van too,the van driver died !!! Cadillac driver died but Cadillac passenger lived !
Lots of blood!!
At 5:23 that’s a finger on the drivers seat of the minivan.
I never understood why anybody would pass on a curve you're not really supposed to even if you are in a passing Lane I know the feeling of trying to get somewhere kind of quick but sometimes you just have to slow down and realize that you're going to be screwed because of traffic I think we've all been there time or two where it's like well I guess I better bite the bullet I have no choice now to be stuck behind these people for a little while better to be safe than sorry 😔 now it appears that possibly kids are going to be growing up without their mother.
they dont learn that in traffic shool? never overtake in a curve or a hill!
It not about learning its about the adrenaline buzz of nearly getting killed some people love that but this time it didn't go the way they wanted. 🇬🇧👍
Very young child playing with toys indoors. "Mummy, when's daddy coming home?" How the hell do you cope with that?...
When will people learn?
and they say cars are made with safety in mind
Is there some little girl or some little boy, or more than one child, crying for a mommy who will not be coming home anymore? The Cadillac driver died after the woman he killed inn the van, and I often wonder of people killed at the same time, during the same incident, meet up in Heaven (or hell, or they may go to opposite places.)?
2:42 is cringe. Blood in the seat as well. That was a vicious collision.
It's time for car manufacturers to implement a frontal fast-inflating air-bag somewhere in the bumper cover, a device attached under the bumper, that would inflate at a fast rate when the car is in an unavoidable trajectory for a head-on collision. I'm sure this additional safety device could also be installed on semis and other types of vehicles. It would permit people to escape unharmed from what could be a fatal situation, one seen more than often.
Norman Jaquemot how is it gonna determine the difference between a head on collision and being behind a car? Or meeting a car on the highway on a curve. Would help but I'm not sure it's possible for it to only work when needed
Interesting & 100% impractical suggestion.
Life has risks.
Physics are physics.
Delusional flights of fantasy are that intelligence alone can eliminate all risks.
Sorry, option NOT available.
Data can be worked out. When the Wright brothers made their plane, everyone said it was suicide. Well you see where it lead.
@@psalm2forliberty577 : I don't take NO as an answer. I don't like seeing people killed in frontal collisions. There's a flaw, and it needs to be corrected. We have the technology.
@@NormanJaquemotRebel
Then go the next step & suggest a design - if you have solved the 'riddle'.
Anyone who declares with certitude "I won't accept NO...", must by logical inference have a "YES...and here's HOW we achieve said goal"
We have the technology ?
Please do tell.
Your comment makes it sound as if "why don't we just whip up a 'collision preventer' has practical merit.
What youre suggesting is on a physics level is a non-sequiter (sp):
As my Dad used to say "You can't get there from here"
Perhaps youre imbued of the silly notion that we as kids used to jest about how to prevent death from falling:
'why not just jump up at the last second ?'
Lol - as if such were possible, right ?
In reality, todays Autos are MUCH safer in collisions by 10-20x versus 1950s models.
BUT there are limits AND common sense and caution ARE mandatory.
In this case negative human action even SINFUL BEHAVIOR - utter failure to exercise MORAL restraint, utter lack of considering others safety as important as ones own (on part of Cadillac driver) was the killer - not lack of sufficiently advanced tech.
Btw, RIP to the totally innocent Toyota Van driver - can't fathom the loss her family endured.
