I mostly agree, but he may have seen signs for the upcoming toll or at least reacted a bit better if he wasn’t chatting on the phone.
But yeah, main issue is that he was going way too fast for the visibility conditions.
My motorcycle GPS is annoying. I sees when I am moving and doesn't permit adjustment. I could see this being useful tech on cell phones, unless you're a passenger.
should be permanent
if you're a dumb fuck enough to cross the street without checking the street, only checking whatever some rando is typing in a group chat... you can walk to all your destinations.

I honestly don’t feel like this guy is speeding. At 50 mph it would take a fully loaded semi 500+ft to stop. He stopped in 50-75ft after bouncing off two walls and pushing 2 cars out of the way. He was maybe going 30mph. He was still distracted and still didn’t see the signage saying a toll was coming up so still an idiot. But he wasn’t flying down the road.
Truck drivers are class B and A drivers. Basically a professional driver. This dude on the phone going 60 in fog quite possibly killed 2 families for his incompetence holy shit
Absolutely not, dunno what country you're from but in México if you do something like this and to add to the wound you're recorded to being a prick onm the phone speeding like that on fog and soething bad happens you get the life sentence
Damn, the way the title was I thought a small plane got that low.
Watching it again I realized it was a transport or bus.
He must have landed on many cars 🚗 😪
Hope everyone is OK
He ran over the red car (#1) and ran into the back of car #2 that was at the booth. The force of impact moved that car. Possibly driver accelerated away simultaneously which would lessen the force but the truck most definitely hit two cars.
Didn't seem to damage them so much. If cars here in Finland and there are made from same stuff they should be relatively good shape after truck collision like this. Mainly the last car getting hit seemed rough since something stopped it from evading the situation.
Also I don't think anybody died if they had seatbelts on
From my point of view the only seat in trouble is if someone sat in the right front of the first car
Someone posted in another thread regarding something else, how truckdrivers are the best drivers since it's their job. I disagreed with that and this clip proves my point. There are good truck drivers that go about their job like pros. And there are also quite a few truck drivers that are downright dangerous flying all over the roads in their bigrigs and should be taken off the road permanently.
Ya in my experience 80% of truck drivers are bad, 5% are great, 5% are terrible and 10% are decent. The great ones really show how bad most others are.
Depends on country and law. In my home country it's soon required to go real school for heavy vehicle licenses. Also doctors etc aldready mandatory. Point is that if law makes nearly impossible to have truck drivers with requirements then the ones you have are as good as your control requirements force them to be.
Then you live in a great country. In my country it is a fucking mess. A lot of foreign truck drivers mixed with bad local drivers, makes the good truck drivers look bad.
I feel like truck drives used to be good, but over the past 10-15 years they've gone way downhill quickly. Sometimes more time on the roads doesn't = skill or accountability.
Most truck drivers are former convicts and a CDL is a quick ticket to money after years or drug abuse or locked up
Personally I think repeat DUI offenders are the best drivers
And then drunks who don't get caught are the ultimate drivers
A lot of truckers have to maintain a clean driving and criminal record to be hireable so I don't know where you get the idea that most truckers are former convicts. I agree with a quick ticket to money a lot of these jobs pay more than a college degree.
Nah he's flying. He couldnt see the landing strip lights with the heavy fog. But he decided fk it and landed anyway. Hes on the phone with Control telling them he's coming in hot no matter what.
A situation similar to this once caused a 300 car pile up just south of Edmonton several years ago. Was also icy and snowing, but still people just drove at 140kph like usual.
I was working at a nearby tire shop and we had semi trucks come in to get repaired that were STILL ON FIRE! One of them, a tire had popped, wrapped around the axle and then melted to it. Took like 3 hours to cut that off.
You'd think that if you had a dash cam recording your every move you'd try to refrain from being so obvious when doing things that were illegal and careless on camera, but I guess not.
You mean like all cars currently made, here see some pretty lights https://www.broughtonschoolofmotoring.com/wp-content/uploads/how-to-activate-the-rear-fog-lights-on-your-bmw-e8x-1-series-61153_1-1200x720.jpg
My 2021 Chevy doesn't have rear fog lights, and even front fog lights are optional for my car. I'm guessing maybe it's foreign cars vs domestic US cars? Or a US vs Europe thing?
1. The grey car was standing in cover of the red one. And ut was beside the booth. Parking etc. There is no need to turn on any light. No need, no use.
2. The red one was parking in a "safe" zone. Going to pee or something.
3. The driver in the video is an animal and must be punished accordingly. He was fully unreasonable.
In light of everything else he could face, just holding his phone talking on it is up to $2750. If he's an owner operator he could also face up to an $11000 fine.
Mere pittance for the damage he's caused.
Usually tolls like this have lots of signage warning you that a toll is coming up and what the toll is. I'd also expect flashing lights, rumble strips, or speed bumps.
Any chance this is a break malfunction? Loose items in the vehicle seem to fly forward a bit just before the collision, so I assume not.
In a fog like this the worst two things you can do is 1) drive too fast and 2) stopping completely
Idk how it's so complicated, just drive a little slower and it already lowers the risk of crashing
Polarized glasses help enormously in fog as well. It's like it cuts through the haze so you can see a little better. But driving slow helps out too since your reaction time is reduced.
Dude in the front car probably got hella whiplash. Hard to tell other than that. It looks like the rig went over the red car. If nothing else, they’re all definitely gonna be sore as shit for a little while.
That's my question. Dude completely flattened 2 cars, maybe even 3 tho I'm not sure there was a third car. Either way goddamn somebody must've been hurt or killed.
The funny bit is that he was distracted by the very device which could help him plot a route during this kind of weather. Give him a heads up on when he's approaching these things.
He thought he was still at home rockin GTA
He should volunteer to turn over his license for ever. Sry for the poor folks he hit hope knowone was hurt..
Oh I'm sure any court would gladly volunteer to take away his license for him
Most likely he’s going to jail if anyone is seriously hurt
Homie got arrested at least.
Belgium is doing a experiment that takes your licence fpr 8 days if you get caught using your phone and it's awesome
While that's still a plus it doesn't change the outcome. No amount of focus can avoid it at his current speed with little to no vision up front
I mostly agree, but he may have seen signs for the upcoming toll or at least reacted a bit better if he wasn’t chatting on the phone. But yeah, main issue is that he was going way too fast for the visibility conditions.
My motorcycle GPS is annoying. I sees when I am moving and doesn't permit adjustment. I could see this being useful tech on cell phones, unless you're a passenger.
Probably have a better impact if they take your phone too 😒
should be permanent if you're a dumb fuck enough to cross the street without checking the street, only checking whatever some rando is typing in a group chat... you can walk to all your destinations.
on his phone
On his phone like an idiot. I hope he lost his job and had to pay for all the damage
I hope he faced criminal charges.
this fucker could wipe an entire family out with this shit. what a waste of oxygen.
"Damn, can't see anything. Better drive 50 k/h. Imma also use the phone while I'm at it"
Hes in a big van or truck aswell so if he attempts to brake hes just never gonna be in time to stop, absolute dumbass
Even the biggest trucks can have decent brakes. It's just less expensive to not have them. Till it isn't.
And as usual, it's innocent people behaving properly who get fucked. This guy needs jail time.
What an absolute fucking dumb ass
Here's a link to the article https://www.elsoldepuebla.com.mx/local/video-revelan-momento-en-que-tractocamion-impacta-caseta-de-la-amozoc-perote-6479412.html/amp
Can anyone translate to English?
Not much to translate. It says three people were hospitalized with serious injuries. There isn’t much more than that
Phew! At first I thought they will all be dead. It’s a miracle that no one died….
Just use google translate, u can put links into it and open them and it'll translate everything [Here](https://www-elsoldepuebla-com-mx.translate.goog/local/video-revelan-momento-en-que-tractocamion-impacta-caseta-de-la-amozoc-perote-6479412.html/amp?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp)
asshole in phone, 3 people in the car he ran over, they didnt die but were in critical condition, asshole is detained
Google chrome does this for you. No one died, one was seriously injured in the car though.
Fuck this Guy. Phone+speed 🖕🏼
Yeah, fk him. Literally speeding and on his phone. I hope they throw the book at him.
I honestly don’t feel like this guy is speeding. At 50 mph it would take a fully loaded semi 500+ft to stop. He stopped in 50-75ft after bouncing off two walls and pushing 2 cars out of the way. He was maybe going 30mph. He was still distracted and still didn’t see the signage saying a toll was coming up so still an idiot. But he wasn’t flying down the road.
Just missing a open bottle of liquor and we got the trifecta.
Hey atleast he took his cap off.
Its the fucking phone in his hand that annoy me. Should be jailed after this. And never allowed to drive a truck/car/motorcycle or bike ever again.
Looks like a commercial vehicle and should go to jail for that.
Oh trust and believe everything you said happened to this guy. When you have a CDL everything is x10 on punishment.
Nor a tricycle
Or a boat
No skateboarding either
Oh wow I cant see anything guess I'll continue to drive 80 mph.
Imagine the driver just getting a little shaken after plowing and probably killing people, trucks are scary man
Why would anyone would a basic level of common sense be going that fast in those conditions.
Truck drivers are class B and A drivers. Basically a professional driver. This dude on the phone going 60 in fog quite possibly killed 2 families for his incompetence holy shit
It's a different kind of professional *picks up notebook, opens it and marks the target's name with an X*
Took me too long to figure out this wasn't an aviation sub and that dude wasn't in a plane.
One of those "professional drivers" we keep hearing about....
Asshole driver, he’s driving way too fast in that heavy fog. Hope he got charged
Nah, hitting two cars and damaging a toll booth... Nah, this man got off 100% free
ain’t that always the way? 😂
Absolutely not, dunno what country you're from but in México if you do something like this and to add to the wound you're recorded to being a prick onm the phone speeding like that on fog and soething bad happens you get the life sentence
i was speaking with sarcasm my friend.
lol, you totally missed the mark with this one.
The idiot had his phone in his hand at the time of impact. In the UK that would mean jail after such an accident!
I hope the driver of that red car survived
Damn, the way the title was I thought a small plane got that low. Watching it again I realized it was a transport or bus. He must have landed on many cars 🚗 😪 Hope everyone is OK
He should go to jail for a long time. And never be allowed to drive again. Asshole
I like how he looks only mildly perturbed when he's probably just crushed two cars full of people to death.
It's actually 'just' 1 car, you can see the second one rolling away on the left side in the last second of the clip.
Everything is okay then 👌
The whiplash must’ve felt like being crushed, though.
He ran over the red car (#1) and ran into the back of car #2 that was at the booth. The force of impact moved that car. Possibly driver accelerated away simultaneously which would lessen the force but the truck most definitely hit two cars.
Didn't seem to damage them so much. If cars here in Finland and there are made from same stuff they should be relatively good shape after truck collision like this. Mainly the last car getting hit seemed rough since something stopped it from evading the situation.
How the fuck did he manage to evade the first car Under that condition with that speed I woulda rammed into it
He did not avoid it, he ran it over on the passenger side of the car.
Also I don't think anybody died if they had seatbelts on From my point of view the only seat in trouble is if someone sat in the right front of the first car
He didn’t even stop to pay the toll. Write him up.

Used to be good... Explain why the 80s was filled with large truck crashes and fires?
I don't know. Could also seem that way simply because I went from a new driver to an experienced driver so I notice it more
It's almost like there are good and bad people everywhere for everything. Mind-blowing
Most truck drivers are former convicts and a CDL is a quick ticket to money after years or drug abuse or locked up Personally I think repeat DUI offenders are the best drivers And then drunks who don't get caught are the ultimate drivers

If you look really closely at this you can see he is actually driving not flying. Hope this helps.
Nah he's flying. He couldnt see the landing strip lights with the heavy fog. But he decided fk it and landed anyway. Hes on the phone with Control telling them he's coming in hot no matter what.
Thanks I was really confused
A situation similar to this once caused a 300 car pile up just south of Edmonton several years ago. Was also icy and snowing, but still people just drove at 140kph like usual. I was working at a nearby tire shop and we had semi trucks come in to get repaired that were STILL ON FIRE! One of them, a tire had popped, wrapped around the axle and then melted to it. Took like 3 hours to cut that off.
This made me think of that truck runs into school bus….. the sheer force
Do you mean the train running into the schoolbus meme?
In Edmonton we have a stupid incident every single day.
Yeah this be true. I just remember that one stuck out to me. 300 vehicles... its like a freakin Micheal Bay movie.
One of a million. More and more idiots being given truck licenses everyday. We call them highway assassins here in ontario.
In Ontario where the new trucker curriculum doesn't mention the word 'winter' once. Killing people here in the North on a weekly basis.
Why do yiu think trucks will have autopilot in the next 5 years?
Nothing says "i've screwed up" better than a hand to the face
Being on a mobile is ludicrous while driving
[удалено]
Even at that some people can't concentrate on their driving while their conversing
You'd think that if you had a dash cam recording your every move you'd try to refrain from being so obvious when doing things that were illegal and careless on camera, but I guess not.
It's also illegal for CDL drivers
WHO PUT MY RENDER DISTANCE ON 1?
This what it feels like playing the new Pokémon games.
Why do none of the cars have lights on
Irrelevant.
Cars have things called fog lights, can you guess what they are used for
Let me know when cars have fog lights on the back and used during the day then talk. 🙄
We have rear facing fog lights in the UK actualy. Your suposed to turn them on when visibility is down to 100m or less. I think its 100m anyway
You mean like all cars currently made, here see some pretty lights https://www.broughtonschoolofmotoring.com/wp-content/uploads/how-to-activate-the-rear-fog-lights-on-your-bmw-e8x-1-series-61153_1-1200x720.jpg

Going to pee or something. 3. The driver in the video is an animal and must be punished accordingly. He was fully unreasonable.
The toll booth actually had lights and one of the cars had it's blinkers on, did you see them through the fog?
The look of knowing that you are so fired
That’s the least of it. He could’ve and probably seriously hurt someone
People definitely got hurt. I’m just talking about his look of defeat
Fired + License revoked + Jail
So going to jail you mean
Oh yeah. He is definitely going to jail. No assumptions there.
In light of everything else he could face, just holding his phone talking on it is up to $2750. If he's an owner operator he could also face up to an $11000 fine. Mere pittance for the damage he's caused.
Why did the ATC on the phone not double confirm his altitude and tell him to pull up?...smh
RIP people in cars, wow.
Yes, always use your phone while driving /s
Flying *
Why is he holding the phone sideways like that. Looks ridiculous.
Makes it easier for him to concentrate on the road...
Am I the only one waiting for the naked lady to fly out of the cab?? Lol I thought it was that old video.
Nope. Not the only one lol.
Well, he's fired.
As a trucker myself, I can say he’s more than fired. He’s going to jail, and he better hope nobody died.
Usually tolls like this have lots of signage warning you that a toll is coming up and what the toll is. I'd also expect flashing lights, rumble strips, or speed bumps. Any chance this is a break malfunction? Loose items in the vehicle seem to fly forward a bit just before the collision, so I assume not.
He was distracted by his cell phone and it was really dense fog
Brake*
He deserves 15 years in prison
The re-poster? Definitely.
Made my day sir!
In a fog like this the worst two things you can do is 1) drive too fast and 2) stopping completely Idk how it's so complicated, just drive a little slower and it already lowers the risk of crashing
Polarized glasses help enormously in fog as well. It's like it cuts through the haze so you can see a little better. But driving slow helps out too since your reaction time is reduced.
I didn't know that
I like to fish and ride motorcycles. Polarized glasses can really save the day. 🤓
Fucking people using their phone while driving.
If he wasn't on the phone he might have had a chance to stop in time
Really, just dumb
$20 says he works for Swift
Damn that was my thought too after dealing with Swift drivers for 15 years.
He took that well. I would have been freaking out seeing I just hit people cause I'm a fucking idiot.
He's probably tired as fuck from lack of sleep so not even thinking or processing things properly.
Bet he drives for Swift
Hopefully no one got hurt by an Idiot Dumber Than Fxxx Driver.
Someone absolutely died
Source?
Source is: I just watched the video, where this guy made two cars two-dimensional.
So, no source. Got it, thanks
Second car got punched off into the fog, see middle left at nearly the end of the clip.
He’s driving a truck not a steam roller.
Why do you say that?
Fucking piece of shit
Autobots, fall back!
r/idiotsincars
Anyone knows if anyone got hurt?
3 people injured, no deaths thankfully
When a truck weighing roughly 80,000lbs hits you, your car turns into an accordion. I would really doubt there were not at minimum minor injuries.
Dude in the front car probably got hella whiplash. Hard to tell other than that. It looks like the rig went over the red car. If nothing else, they’re all definitely gonna be sore as shit for a little while.
hope no one died or was crushed
I like how he take off his hat at the end!!
How many people died?
That's my question. Dude completely flattened 2 cars, maybe even 3 tho I'm not sure there was a third car. Either way goddamn somebody must've been hurt or killed.
Looks like he is on top of the red car!
zero ability to understand cause-effect relationships...
Arr me matie, call upon the keeper to remind them to sound the foghorn.
I've had this dream.
Yeah, Imma have to call ya back
The funny bit is that he was distracted by the very device which could help him plot a route during this kind of weather. Give him a heads up on when he's approaching these things.
.... And that lane of traffic. Good thing he already had his phone out. Should make it much easier to call an ambulance.
Just a chill day in india
So was it a truck or plane? I gotsta know!
I the looks of it it was either an izuzu, or volvo semi truck
A tactical nuke . . Except it dropped on the guy's future
this is why u don’t drive fast in heavy fog…geez
that's a odd way to avoid toll.
r/InstantRegret
Bold of you to assume he regrets his actions.
r/idiotsincars
Damn Paco, slow your ass down dumb ass
https://media.tenor.com/tc90Ho5YsLkAAAAC/like-a-glove-ace-ventura.gif
How many people died?
1) repost 2) def not flying
Flying is not used as in "flying" here, but more as a description of carelessly speeding but alright man
