- Could a cable company truck be the reason for blocking roads and causing cars to slide into a ditch in Indianapolis? On Tuesday, a Comcast /Xfinity truck was filmed by a man who lives in the neighborhood and alerted the cable workers about the messy conditions they were causing during the harsh winter weather. He pleaded with the cable guys to put out more cones to warn drivers to slow down; however, they only had five, which were already out. #InsideEdition

"And then it happens..." Some a$$hole comes flying thru at mach 10 in icy conditions.
LMFAO!
Lol
This guy. LoL mach 10
Lol
Mach 10 wtf 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What ever happened to the "utility work ahead" sign??
Hijoleeee how u know about them signs lol
Juan Rodríguez ikr
You mean the sign that’s on the other side of the hill that all the drivers ignored?
Juan Rodríguez my place has that at least we have good people
“Road work ahead? Uh, yeah I sure hope it does!”
Anytime they say a company is "looking into" an incident, it means they're absolutely not.
No need to look into it. That maintenance tech was surrounded by morons and his superiors knew it instantly
they honestly shouldnt thatd be a waste of resources. they did theyre job correctly mr karen just got mad. its why they were never cited. karen just doesnt know the rules of the job but likes to think hes smart.
@@Jordan23501 mate its legally required to put up warnings in difficult-to-see road sections, especially during bad weather. At least in pretty much the entire western hemisphere. That goes for individuals already, but for company or government workers doubly so. If your car breaks down just past a curvy hillcrest and someone crashes into your car when you didnt place warnings like cones, a reflective warning triangle or a passenger waving arms frantically before the hill, youre 100% at fault. The only question is, did the company inform the cable guy of that requirement? Was it part of their training before the incident? Or did they have a contract clause for employees to read up on laws relating to roadside work?
@@Jordan23501idiot
Legend has it that Louella is still watching out to this day.
LMFAO
old joke but it made me laugh :)
This comment made me laugh so hard
LOLOL UR EPIC AND SWAG LOLOL
Hahahaha legit made me chuckle
TBH that black truck was going pretty fast
Yup, and NEVER lets up on the gas. If you watch the full video, he gets stuck in one yard for a while, gets out, drives down the road, and you never see him again in the video.
Hw was slipping on the ice
Racist!
Yeah from the ice
It’s called ice
That truck was going pretty fast
Well it is slippery on ice and he was going around the speed limit its just when you car hydrodrifts after brake instantly you seem to go faster.
speed limit is for ideal driving condition, one should know it on the driving knowledge test...
That is why i said he was going around the speed limit he was probably doing a 25 or a 20 on a 30 mile road.
MeltedPeanuts that pick up was goin fast. come on look at the jetta in front he was going pretty slow
Thats why the jetta saw the truck in time and slowwd down but was probably going just a little less then the truck.
It wasn’t the people driving too fast on icy streets? 🤷🏻♂️
Both
Doesnt matter if you're doing 25, if you're going downhill on ice, you will not be able to stop in time
@@razexc6816 why did the VW have no trouble until they got smacked then? That truck was going way too fast for those conditions regardless of what was ahead.
@Yeshuas Return nah bro it was the drivers speeding over a god damn hill.
@Siren
They still should have cones set up next to the hill, some cars go slow but still swerve because their tires aren’t so great on Ice.
Maybe people should ADJUST THEIR SPEED DURING CHANGING CONDITIONS!
yeah but when u shut down a lane at least in france u need to put in order at 50m each on a straight road a worker sign, a new speed limit sign (30km/h) and a reduction of line or traffic light (depend of the traffic on the road). In this case u have a hill so put a orange triflash tu get driver attention
But like the guy said they needed another thing letting them know there is roadwork and they should be looking out for anything.
They should, but also the cable guys need to adjust too.
@@schwoop
I agree. Plenty of blame to go around here.
Or, they can put up a sign warning drivers to slow down due to electrical work. It’s not like tv is a huge priority. Someone could have been killed, and at the very least he ruined a good handful of those peoples day, and future days having to unscrew all the damage he caused by doing the bare minimum, and being inconsiderate ass.
I hate when Inside Edition shows the same looped clip throughout the video several times. We saw that truck hit the car 4 times.
A N Apparently 28 people do. Nice try, go be a downer somewhere else 😉
I love that about their videos. I can get a clear visual of what the footage shows and why it’s important when they show it several times.
A N I care about what she says
So we don’t have to go back and watch again also if inside edition is giving more info about the story, they wouldn’t put a blank screen
LordPrime12 exactly
"We've investigated ourselves and decided we weren't at fault"
It's Comcast... If they don't ruin your day they get very sad.
@redd kneck They we're properly safe set ups for dry conditions not black iced or sleek roads. Foresight and common sense and a hint of compassion is what was needed. There needed to be more early warnings available in plain sight.
@redd kneck that was a good 300 feet between them and the top of the hill. At 15mph, the recommended speed for black ice, it takes 150ft to stop, so no.
@@MatthewTvNews still, they put a lot of people at risk. The cable guy said he had more cones in the truck but he didn't put them down.
How police of them.
Peoples carelessness is horrifyingly disturbing.
People can only "drive" when everything is super easy. The moment there's an actual challenge, their brains turn to mush and their reflexes take a nap.
@@T1Oracle that's why every winter I take both vehicles to a empty parking lot to make them lose control so I can be ready for when it happens
@@stedsnellings9340 rofl what??
@@mrdark9916 He is right. He is getting used to operating with a clear mind under an adrenaline dump.
@@mrdark9916 its actually a good idea to do that, test the limits of your cars in controlled conditions like on an empty road or parking lot during bad weather. Optimally before you get it checked out and maintenance which improve car handling done. Go to an empty, maybe icy lot, practice controlled braking, do a few donuts or swing your steering wheel about a bit to lose control and get back to driving a straight line within as little space as possible, that sort of stuff. Doing that at least once a year or every two years with every one of your cars (if you have multiple) in bad weather will be very beneficial for learning any car's limits.
That worker is given a set time to hook up wires. If he can't finish he'll be fired, because those same people crashing will call to complain the installer was too slow.
Damned if you do damned if you don’t.
the video guy shoulda just gotten in their truck and moved it for them since they were in so incapable.
That’s a ridiculous excuse
Nope. He was suppose to have signs out but didn’t. Lazy and deserves to be fired. I use to work in the utility business. It’s against the law for those workers to be working without any road work signs placed out warning drivers.
but he COULD care a little bit about warning oncoming traffic. not just meeting the legal minimum of cones.
When it’s that icy on the road you shouldn’t be going that fast anyhow
One of the reason why he didnt get fired. Looks like this news company has a personal grudge against comcast. How about they call the city next time instead so they put sand or salt on the roads.
It doesnt even look like a full flat icy road too. Just looks like slushy road which makes it slipery. And the hill didnt look at what i expected it to be. Just a small hill bump. Bet there were some people caught with some all season tires in that one.
How do you know he wasn't just going the speed limit and the car in front had slowed down?
Then he can't get up the hill
That damn truck was flyin... 😂
The truck was clearly going way too fast and caused this crash.
Rainy Day did he cause all the other people to go into the ditch? Bottom line is, no cable truck in the road no people in the ditch and no crash.
Wasn't the only accident
You people only saw the one truck sheesh
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@johnmoore1495 that's because everyone was speeding. They were going too fast for conditions.
Whether the black truck could see the comcast people is not an issue, he clearly wasn't even paying attention to the vehicle right in front of him!
He was paying attention
It’s an old Chevy truck with no anti lock brakes so it couldn’t stop even if they wanted to
@@liammaupin9492 yea I don’t know why he was driving that fast in the snow in the first place even cars with anti lock brakes have a harder time stopping in snow
@Rocket Pliance no but I remember driving a car with the engine off and it was very difficult
@Rocket Pliance Yes. you should be responsible enough to know that non abs vehicles have compromised breaking compared to other cars on the road. that square body was going way too fast.
Speeding on Ice, yea, a cone will prevent that.
Ikr. Lol
Maybe just not parking your truck right at the top of a hill could work too idk. He was definitely directly responsible for a lot of those crashes. Even the truck guy would’ve been fine but that one smaller car he rear ended recklessly changed lanes right into him.
Like the pickup at 0:28 doesnt even look like it's trying to slow down
@@Andreas16375 yeah almost like trying to slam on the brakes when it’s icy doesn’t stop your car.
@@jacobolson6145 almost like you shouldn’t be speeding in snow dumb ass I don’t drive in the snow often but even I’m intelligent enough to think “hey it’s snowing today I’m not gonna speed and not pay attention even when coming over a hill that I can’t see the other side of”
Why u speeding in ice roads to begin with
will79 page -that’s the first thing I noticed too. That truck was hauling ass in crappy weather.
will79 page give them a ticket
Comment of the day goes to...
...will79 page.
People don't use common sense when they drive on ice.
Yup i said same thing too much in the hurry and going no where
It's the South, they can't drive in the snow.
what do you expect it's Comcast
MC Bowl its actuallu xfinity but eh same
Nyan Cat 14 Xfinity, a subsidiary of Comcast.
Nyan Cat 14 Xfinity is Comcast ...
MC Bowl 😂😂
I like Xfinity so...
“no one was cited”
*everyone will remember that*
So the cable guy is at fault for everyone obviously driving too fast for the conditions... Got it...
Yes it is. They shouldn't of been going that fast, the drivers insurance company will fault them for driving recklessly in hazards conditions if it applies. But the workers should of had cones at the top of the hill along with a flagger to help direct traffic.
Cable guy was 100% correct he is surrounded by morons and if I were in his shoes I'd sure as hell want my truck between me and them
@@youdontknowmyname6956 actually u prob slow there is salt on the road and it had melted and turned into ice
@@youdontknowmyname6956 no! He is not a construction worker!!! He does NOT have to put flags, even tho the entire compagnie probably don't have flags! Excepted supervisor or some special truck!
Yes, doesn't matter what speed they were driving at, they still could've lost control of their vehicle and crashed into the truck or others.
Why were they driving so quickly in the snow?
Indiana drivers.
Henry Lee because some cars need to go fast up a hill to make it to the top
TheBeastGamer so does it mean you cant go slower than 40? Where I live the driver chooses the speed that is APPROPRIATE.
Haha lebz if your tires wont let you climb the hill, you really shouldnt get up there. You need to get down somehow too.
Lmfao! Oh wow!
Sums up my experience with Comcast.
What, they come in bad weather and harsh conditions to keep your cable up and running? Good to know.
David Walker same here
David Walker OMG TRUE
I dont care who cares
That was xfinity
I work for state roads in West Virginia no matter the weather or the amount of signs, idiot's will still speed through a work zone that cable dude sees it every day and his reaction proves it
Ya you can tell that just by going through the comments.
its actually regulated that their must be a sign or signal before the blind hill warning of the on road crews, they purposely violated that while chosing not to even put down the extra cones past the hill
@@expiredgamer_ugh Regulated in your mind?
@@Vinterfrid nope by law.
The cable guy is not responsible for other driver’s stupidity.
drivers'*
There were many.
How did now theres a truck for exemple u shoot a man i didnt see amd siad a its fine
Don't act like the black pick up truck wasn't at fault because it was
But common sense should tell you that you should be driving careful in those kind of weather conditions.
@Tayo Awe The black pickup truck that hit the car.
Watch the second black pick up truck speeding up the hill on the slippery roads
Dusty Looney your right, I don’t know who’s fault it is 🤷♂️
That truck was going way to fast for the conditions
Is cable more important than peoples safety?
“No”
But my check is.
Lol I bet the person who's getting the cable put in rather him keep doing what he doing., hell with ppl foolishly driving too fast in icy conditions.
Lol
Erynn Casey his unemployment check after this
supasmits they were clearly the problem when you have so many vehicles unable to safely pass. Yes the last truck did the most damage driving to fast for conditions but all the cars sliding off were not. The cable guys were negligent.
Swampy i did and they weren’t
That cable guy had nothing to do with those drivers
so if traffic wasn't impeded there would of been no one ditching their vehicles? what was the cause for the off line maneuvers, the idiot without flag persons
@@PlayingWithFireOutdoors lmao you must've been one of those idiots that went into the ditch 🤣 learn how to drive in those conditions and you won't have any problem. Like drive slower so you don't panic and slam on your brakes just to slide into something 🤦🏾♂️😂
@@stedsnellings9340 OK if you say it, it must be true.
The silver car seems to be driving at an appropriate speed for that conditions, or at least somewhat slow. The black truck would have hit it with our without the cable guy since that driver was just way too fast.
Here's where the law gets tricky. Comcast is a private company and not a government-funded agency. (That we know of).
The fact that they can freely stop their vehicles and impede traffic flow puts them above the laws that were created in order to maintain safety and order amongst drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and cyclists.
Regular citizens cannot just go and park their cars in the middle of the road and set up cones and say, just move around me.
I doubt that these Comcast drivers obtained permits to redirect traffic flows.
The street is wet,icy, got snow. Why's everyone speeding. Maybe there racing to Krispy Kremes for a donut
I mean. For Krispy Kremes, can you blame them?
or a doughnut
The only thing I saw from this was that black truck was driving fast like speedy Gonzales
parker playz but not yours? And mine is garcia
1234 yeah, and how did he go fast on the ice? bc he went fast, dumbass
@@zoinks9864 he had to get up the hill, then when going down he couldn't prolly slow down bc of the ice.
MemezzyStudio well some cases need speed to go up certain hills. I don't know how big the hill was because I wasn't there. Also the cars might have been going the speed limit but cars still slide either way and the brakes didn't help because they probably had to slam them making them go even faster, due to sliding on the ice. Sorry for wasting your time and have a good day or night
@@zoinks9864 different vehicles need different amounts of power to get up an icy hill. The truck was doing what it had to to get up the hill, and tried to slow down at the top, but there's a downhill, more ice, and when he hit the break he just slid. Not to mention the other car had come to an almost complete stop on rhe road. There was no indication of having to slow down on the other side of the hill. That accident was 100% the cable guy's fault.
Why does the guy with the camera sound like hes from South Park?
🤣🤣🤣 dude I was trying to compare his voice to someone. And that's it lmao
Ms. Garrison
Hell ya he does. I knew it was something familiar like that.
Randy marsh!! All that was missing was the cable guys rubbing there nipples getting off on being an inconvenience! South park covered them perfect in an episode.
LoL
Ya know if you weren’t going fast while it’s snowing you’d have enough time to slow down lesson here is don’t rely on others to keep you safe
What they don't mention was the Comcast bucket was not fully blocking the road, and police wrote tickets to the drivers for driving too fast for road conditions.
Good, all the ticketed drivers deserved a ticket.
That cable guy should get fired
Lucy Pearl yes please
Lucy Pearl Yeah.
Lucy Pearl for what? People were driving too fast in the snow, it wasn't the cable guys fault. Why was that pick up truck flying down the street like he was being chase by the police? These people can't drive
Lucy Pearl your a damn idiot. The cable guy should get fired for what? How about the people who's driving slow the hell down and take their time.... Duh common sense
BiggBrotha it was like he should put a cone for them to slow down and some cars need to go fast to make it up a hill like I have a all wheel SUV and it still has to go fast up a hill to make it
the camera guy could've been warning the people while calling police
Richard Lopez maybe he did call the police and since it's snowing it takes police more time to get there, plus if he left to warn people he could have slide down the hill, or get hit by car. One other thing if he were to tell the Comcast company there is a possibility for them to ask for evidence.
The camera guy should've done something. Like warn them. Instead of recording the guy doing his job.
@@savitar7348 so now its the camera guys fault Comcast didnt do their job correctly?
@@metalpharaoh3025 if that guy warned them instead of recording the guy doing his job. Everyone would've gotten home safely. If you see something wrong DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Don't complain or argue
@@savitar7348 not saying youre wrong but he shouldnt have to. They clearly said in the video the Comcast worker failed in taking the necessary steps in making that area safe.
How about NOT SPEEDING ON ICY SNOW ROADS 🤦🏻♀️
That would help. Also a sign would have been nice too
just like there will always be bad people in the world there will always be drivers who speed and, expecting people not to clearly isn’t the solution here he shoulda moved the truck or put up more cones or something other than nothing
THEYRE DRIVING UP A HILL THEY HAVE TO SPEED UP ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS SNOW THATS WHY HE SAID PUT A CONE THERE!
People. Always looking for a way out for their idiocracy
@@cdjthg9516 exactly
Why was someome driving that fast when someone was clearly driving slow as he'll in front of them. How is someone not paying attention to what's going on in front of them that cable guys fault
"Watch out louella"! Wth! Sounds like whoville. Lol

At the 1:20 mark to lol, good call.
@Rocket Pliance meh take some lose some
Its called failure to adjust to road conditions.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, winner!
Lets blame the cable guy for people driving to fast on ice.
He's in the middle of the lane on the blind spot of the hill with no warnings in the frontside. 99% his fault. Not every car is built to drive the same in icy weather.
Katilina W they should be driving in a way they can stop; it’s their fault they’re idiots going too fast
@@KatilinaWRaven 100% drivers fault, shouldn't be driving so fast in icy conditions
@@KatilinaWRaven common sense is last to some. Let them remain ignorant and throw their tantrums

Dude I remember when this was everywhere I miss you 😔
The road looks pretty level. The real problem is people driving too fast for the road conditions. The roads were obviously icy.
i always slow down on curves or when going over a hill because you’ll never know what’s around the corner or on the other side of the hill.
Health and Safety!! It's not there to prevent you from doing your job, it's there to help you to do your job.
Every driver is at fault as well. If they can't see what's over the hill then they shouldn't be going that fast in the first place
They were probably going the posted speed limit.
a bit of country life you dont drive at the posted speed limit when there is ice
There could be anything up there yet don't give proper stopping distance in bad conditions
If they stopped, they’d slide off the road and roll the car. It’s like if your going 60 down a free way then a magical barrier appeared and they stepped on the brakes in the snow, the exact same thing would happen like I said, they’d swerve.
that's not how it works. you don't slow down every time you come to a hill or bend.
Those cars shouldn't b going that fast on icy roads over a hill anyway what if kids were crossing the road would it b the kids fault
As a driver you need to b accountable for your driving
Considering it's not a cross walk yeah it would be the kids fault.
What if adults were crossing the road? 🤔
@@marikasdaughter6263 so they're not allowed to cross their road because theres no crosswalk? Theres probably no crosswalk until you hit town lol.
@@marikasdaughter6263 its only illegal if there is adjacent stop lights with cross walks if not its completely legal to cross the street where ever you want.
Havoc Nation Riders In Nevada it is illegal to cross the street anywhere unless it is a marked, unmarked, or intersectional crosswalk.
I bet $1,000 that the old black pick up didn’t have insurance
@@idahousarmymomma9120 what a butt head name
As non chalant as the cable guy was, he was in the right. He actually had cones up and clearly visible and far up the road. The change in weather conditions on the road is the driver's responsibility. Ya know, because the driver is the one driving.
Ignorant and careless drivers either inexperienced or not paying attention.
Everyone is saying this in the comments but we don't know what this street is like, we only see a little bit of it we don't see past the hill or how it is typically travelled. The Neighbor clearly did know and foresaw this happening. The problem with how its set up is that people slowing down or congestion happening after seeing the cones would catch people coming up the hill completely offguard. They need to know before reaching the top of the hill, just making it clearly visible after reaching the top is not good enough.
@@YouCanCallMeReTro That's what this would boil down to. If there is any type of sign as they come up that hill, then the Comcast truck did it right. But if there isn't any signs to warn drivers that there is work in progress ahead, then it's just common sense for the repair unit to be held liable.
truck shouldn't have been going that fast with the road conditions
IAMTHEGOON this was the funist thing I have ever seen
A truck like that has barely enough weight in the back to stop, he probably needed momentum to get up the hill. Cable guys fault for not putting a forewarning.
I know this comment is old but the truck did pay attention and use his brakes (look at the tires)
VW shouldn't stop in the road, gotta keep moving especially on a blind hill.
Have any of you heard of a hill you should try one sometimes
*_”Watch out Louella, watch out everyone!_*
😂😂
Lol I was looking for this comment 🤣 took me out! Lou Ella!!
The cable guy has a point when he said he needs as much between him and the road so he doesn’t get hit. As someone who works as a vendor in grocery stores I also understand why he would be annoyed with someone bothering him while he works.
well when you dont follow legal regulation for signally drivers about road crews ahead then you deserve it, regulation requires there must be a sign or signal before the blind hill
@@expiredgamer_ugh And yet look at the morons who can't drive safely on weather condition.
@@expiredgamer_ugh So really they didn't break any laws or regulations. Only the dumb idiot drivers did.
@@expiredgamer_ugh Stop guessing.
Four years later and he still sounds like Mr. Garrison!
Why would he sound any different?........
I feel like since it was icy out, everyone was driving too fast regardless of not seeing the comcast truck.
Alison Peter if the Comcast truck wasn’t there, no one would be in the ditch and there would’ve been no accident. Comcast people caused the initial problem by being in the middle of the road, thus they have to take steps to prevent accidents. A few cones on the back end of a hill does nothing.
John Moore wrong sir these idiots should drive slower especially in these hazardous road conditions
@@Vgorruso exactly, Vince!
@@samthomas9445 They weren’t going slow in the first place? You call that a hill? Yes the Comcast guy was in a bad spot , like I stated before drive slower In these conditions better yet stay at home or off the roads.

If you can't stop in 100ft (even on ice) in a residential area, you're going too fast.

Why is no one blaming the ice? The cable guy was out there because someone slid off the road in that very spot taking out the cable box. The road was slick, people were driving too fast to begin with and that truck shouldn't have been going as fast as they were up an icy hill to begin with, not all Comcast driver's fault.
Its not the ice's fault. Ice is just ice.
Its the morons driving too fast for conditions.
A parked truck with proper cone placement to meet the law (no ticket to the ComCast truck....) isn't driving too fast for conditions...
People hating on Comcast just because they happened to be there... even without the truck there, those idiots were in a hurry to get in a wreck.
Also it’s not the cable guys fault they’re not required to put out signs for work that last less than an hour and a half he had his basic lane divider with the cones but a it was icy and B apparently people don’t know how to drive in ice

Savagery but that guy is a professional What Went Wrong Analyst, so he’s more qualified than you
Ikr, in those conditions there should have been a police detail at the top of the hill with full rear lights on. That's separate and apart that these drivers were obviously going too fast.
@@justacinnamonbun8658 That would be excessive. But there SHOULD have been a "Caution - Utility Work Ahead" sign well before the crest of the hill.
Raniere even winter tires will slide on ice and slush. I’ve never once had a vehicle with anything other than all terrains or all seasons, never once been in an accident in the winter. Yes these people were driving way too fast for conditions, but the road work was not properly signed for a blind hill. If that was a tractor trailer broken down and he didn’t have one of his warning triangles placed before the crest of the hill, he would have been at fault. Same goes for the cable guy. No different than a blind curve. There should always, ALWAYS be a caution sign well before any work being done around blind curves and hills, period. The cable guy shares the fault with the dumb drivers, whether people like it or not.
If only Mr. Mouth had gone to the top of the hill and screamed at cars to slow down like he screamed at Lou-Ella to watch out.
It's a bit of both really, the cable guys should have been warning them at the brow of the hill, but also drivers should always BE ABLE TO STOP as far as they can see ahead and that black truck had no hope of stopping if ANYTHING had been in the road.
Looks like the drivers were driving to fast up the hill in the wet and snowy road. The old truck was flying up that hill.
Still other people has crashed, due to cable guy, so it is partly his fault
@@Jaytwelveinatruck Yeah he hopped in those cars and crashed them. Totally his fault.
@@supertoaster94 didn’t you see him get in his truck and specifically push them off the road he’s a menace

Let’s not speed when there’s ice on the road instead of going after the poor guys living
Everyone letting the cable guy off because of the one speeding car seems to be forgetting that multiple cars went off the road before that.
Who's at fault, the guy doing his job or the people not driving to the conditions..
With the few question the blame on the cable provider for doing work without proper notification or motorists not driving to conditions when homeowners question the worker's actions that fateful day when everyone wonders of several collisions.

@@prehistoricliners6717 wrong answer
guy doing his job
If you end up in a ditch on an icy road, you're driving too fast
or someone hit you or did something stupid that caused you to have to react
what a stupid, arrogant comment lol
Your speed, following, and stopping distance is adjusted according to weather and street conditions. This reckless driving result would have been the same if anything no matter what it was was in the road such as a Fallen Tree, a disabled vehicle, children playing, etc.
No, no, no. It is not the cable guys fault. Granted, he could've been a bit more concerned, but if you don't want to get in a wreck on icy roads then you shouldn't speed! Easy as that.
Geneva Doll no one was speeding it was down hill on ice so the car was accelerating on it's own and the driver was pretty much brakeless on the ice
Did you see how far the truck went even after hitting the car? Did you notice how all others managed to stop well before he did and avoid an accident? He came up way to fast going UP over the hill and couldnt slow down enough coming down the hill.
Geneva Doll I like how this clip doesn't show this HILL! U can see other cars for miles in the beginning of the real video..
Angelfish Luva you obviously misunderstood what I said because I said at the top of the hill as he was coming down he could not slow down because you know the ice and his brakes probably were useless on the ice downhill I did not say anything about accelerating to get up the hill obviously you have to accelerate a car to get up a hill
Angelfish Luva it is in no way shape or form the truck driver's fault the cable man should have listened and put caution cones at the top of the hill because it from the top of the hill they were saying that the truck driver could not see anything he was not speeding he was sliding down a hill and he could not stop his brakes did not work on ice
I like how they had an active investigation going when everything was literally videotaped and there was no question about what happened LOL
Is the cable guy responsible for other people's stupidity?
They’re actually driving too fast for how slick it is out there, it’s not all that cable guys fault
Aaron Friedman regardless of whose child is dying. The fact remains. ITS NOT THE CABLE GUYS FAULT. He did his job. He did what he was legally supposed to do. there is a reason you don’t go flying through residential neighborhoods or around blind corners. It’s not his job to make sure people aren’t stupid. It’s not even his responsibility to prevent an accident. It’s just his job to make sure he’s not legally at fault. Beyond that, good luck.
@Aaron Friedman its got nothing to do with ethics, he did everything he was supposed to do, if they arent required to put out extra signs then you can be sure he didnt have them even if he wanted to put them out and its not compassion because the accident is the fault of the reckless driver no matter what. Comcast doesnt send extra workers to direct traffic unless absolutely necessary and they have the personnel to do so...in which case you still have to wait on them and you will be told to do what you can until they get there. he HAS to park his car where he did and he stated why. His priority is his safety above all else. You park your vehicle there to keep people from running into you. There was nothing abnormal or special about this situation. This is the environment they work in 24/7. Regardless of whether you like it or not he did everything he could to be safe and I'm glad we never worked together as well...I dont care much for self righteous people who speak on situations that they obviously have no experience in.
Aaron Friedman I’m honestly curious, do you really think it’s the cable guys fault for protecting himself? Knowing that the police didn’t cite him and ASSUMING I’m telling the truth about him following the law do you still think it’s his fault that the accident happened? I get that you want to argue morals in a situation about lawfulness but from just a lawful perspective do you honestly think it’s his fault?
@Trevor Lahey you do realize that IQ tests don't actually have any bearing in life after elementary school, right? IQ tests were developed to gather data about how young children learn, and to discover the most effective ways of teaching them.
Why is this getting recommended to me in 2019
I don't blame that cable man. He may have been hit if he moved his truck.
this is why i dont have a car. if I was there too nobody would have made it out alive lmao
Those people were also speeding so then there's that.
after watching this video a couple of times Its technically the drivers vault because there driving really fast in the snow means the roads would be slippery. someone just put what you learned in school together. easy way to avoid it don't drive so fast in the snow and you won't total your car
The 247 Gamers fault not vault
The 247 Gamers Well icy and slippery roads can also speed you up when going downhill. Plus on a 25 mile road you wouldn't expect a truck to be on the next aide of the hill.
They were probably going as slow as they could. But when people try to stop on ice, they have no friction to stop them.
+The Capitalist Russian
That hill couldn't possibly give those vehicles enough momentum to go faster than 2-3 MPHs more than their current speed.
The 247 Gamers well, yeah, you shouldn't drive fast in the winter, but the cable guys don't have to be complete dicks about it either. And they clearly don't care about anyone but themselves.
I never forget that day... I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt that day
It was just another day for a cable guy surrounded by morons
The guys voice 😂😂😂”Get a cone down here or something” 😂😂😂
Personal responsibility would have helped the situation. The cars were going too fast for the conditions to begin with. The cable guy should have had a warning sign before the hill too.
Or don’t speed in the snow. Come on. He isn’t legally responsible.
b2kzangelalwayz thank you!
Exactly. If I'm sprinting through the street shooting off shots in any direction and you go to fast, and get hit with a bullet ,I'm not legally responsible
He's blocking the road and not providing sufficient warning for traffic considering the conditions. Guilty!
That Volkswagen took getting ass packed like a champ though!
Maybe you can go up the road and warn people. Another case of I wanna get it on camera than actually help.
i hope he got fired
Or maybe people shouldn't be speeding in those kind of conditions.
Title is misleading. Should be titled "See what happens when speeding drivers on icy roads meet the cable guy." 😂😂😂
Comcast offered everyone a $5 movie credit that day of the accident for their trouble
Nope those people aren't entitled to 5 bucks and they're not getting it
I always floor it when cresting an unknown hill with a car in front of me during less than desirable driving conditions too!
Lol!
I was actually impressed. That cable guy gave better customer service than you'd get from calling their hotline.
“Is that cable more important than people’s safety?” *pickup truck coming in at 90mph*
So the truck hauling ass up the road in icy conditions is the cable man's fault?
Seems legit..
You blind? There was more than just a truck. He could’ve blocked off the lane at the bottom of the hill so people didn’t have to get over right after the crest of a hill, in icy conditions.
@@jacobolson6145 cops said he had the right amount of cones and such. Shouldn’t be driving so fast over an ICY HILL that you can’t stop
@@thesunrisechick6878 shouldn’t be a car in the lane right at the top of a hill when it’s icy
Car crash happens "hey get a cone down here"😂🤣😂🤣😭😭
Well, he didn’t have any cones blocking the lane that really needed some cones. He’s making people lane change right at the crest of a hill, on ice. 0:58 that truck was totally fine if that guy didn’t change lanes going 5 mph
@@jacobolson6145 yep that's right ✌
This is why by October, it is required to have winter tires in Quebec.
We don’t need advice from your socialist emasculated country mister
The guy driving the black truck was obviously drunk anyone would've seen how slow the other person was driving. And why they be driving 60 mph on an icy road!?!?!? Wtf
Did you know for a fact what the speed limit was or what the actual speed the truck was driving at? No you don’t. Maybe consider that the truck wasn’t able to slow down in time and hit the car? He obviously wasn’t drunk if he was he wouldn’t have been able to swerve around the car and if he didn’t there would’ve been more damage.
Jacob Lechtenberg The fact is that You never drive fast in icy condition...
And that speed limit on that road was 40 mph, which You can see on the full video..
@@jacob72499 maybe consider that nobody drives that fast in icy conditions
If the guy with the camera felt that strongly why not warn them himself he would then become the hero??!
No, they were driving unsafe in adverse weather conditions.
"cable guy goes to hell"
cable guy: "why am i here please no"
devil: "I thought you didnt care hmmm" -_-
Its not the cable guys fault everyone is speeding and no one has chains
Flavio Carbajal no one uses chains
Studs*
Or.. orrrrrr.. he puts out more cones to signal he is over the crest of a hill humans cant see through
How do you know everyone was speeding?
Alex Colley Well.... that black truck was going really fast and bumped into that one car... before sliding into someones yard...
That guy was petty af, he was having a day and decided to make everyone else's day bad
Wrong, he's not responsible for other people's actions
The Passat took that hit like a champ.
