Fatal semi truck wreck on 225 in Pasadena Tx..

That's ashame, trucker had to be getting it for the car to get that far in there, unless the car got pinned between the truck and another vehicle. Either way it is ashame. Don't know whose fault it was but trucks are nothing to play with. Pay attention and drive safely!!

 

Not much left of that car. Not sure why the link is messed up in the op but here it is again.

Sad. Clearly an accident unless you point blame at the flatbed

 

Agreed, sad that the trucker had to experience that.

 

The truck supposed to be able to stop if somebody stops a car in the middle of the freeway or not?

 

I don't know how firemen deal with this stuff. They are the ones getting the people out. It says a barrel fell off a flatbed and the car tried to avoid it and got in front of the semi. The said no charges will be filed most likely. I wonder if they found the truck that the barrels fell off from?

 

Davo.. that is technically correct. . However, in this case, where the car swerved in front of the truck and slowed way down.. there may truly have been nothing the truck driver could of done... if he hit his brakes so hard he lost control more lives would be in danger...

We can scan a head for potential hazards and we can always try and keep distance between us and vehicles.. but, when a four wheel swerves right in front of us and brakes.. we can only do our best to safely control our trucks and co e to a stop...

 

In public/with each other? They hide behind a sick/twisted sense of humor. In private? They drink...

At least the firemen I know...

Yeah, in the video you see it (a flat bed straight truck with blue plastic barrels) being towed off.

 

The two firemen I know are from a different town then me and are total pot heads. I must say though, if I were in a fire I would want them. They are freaking animals. Forget the axe, they just run through walls and doors
