It is a sad state of affairs that they had been working that wreck long enough for the news to be out there filming it, and no traffic control in use. I could see it if it had just happened.
FerrissWheel, Bud A., StrokerTSi and 6 others Thank this. -

Wow! Two threads reporting the same story.
Close call in the fog outside Lubbock, TXFerrissWheel, D.Tibbitt and JonJon78 Thank this. -
Blame the cops if you want, but from what I saw in the video that truck was moving along waaay to fast for conditions.... If you need someone to "warn you" that there's heavy fog, ice, snow just outside your windshield and you should really slow down, you don't belong behind the wheel, sorry.....
DougA, stayinback, drvrtech77 and 4 others Thank this. -
I've seen it on several news media sites, lots more than you generally see for a truck accident that's for sure... -
Have you never hit a dip and it was filled with fog? we don't know what the road looked like 100 feet away.
What I do know is that a trooper thought it was safe enough to not need any sort of traffic control, maybe because it was not as bad as what it looks like on the video, but for some reason, unless just bad judgement.stillwurkin, Bud A., allniter and 1 other person Thank this. -
This is a good "Bad example" video.
Same reply as on the other post for this video.
FLARES!!
IMMEDIATELY!!
Several flares burning - it sure has only one unmistakable meaning; Danger!
I agree with above comments there should have been flares,
and also driver was going too fast for conditions.
I never take my eyes off the oncoming lanes on an interstate Tow call.
I don't want to be surprised by something like this coming at me.
Please "slow down and move over" for first responders.
Our lives may depend on it. -
If the driver'd had his ears on, he probably would've known about the wreck.
If the driver'd used his head, he'd have been at a more appropriate speed for that thick of a fog bank.
If the driver'd been at an appropriate speed AND had his ears on... this wreck on a wreck never would've happeneddrvrtech77, Bud A., clausland and 2 others Thank this.
