Brutal semi vs. semi sideswipe caught on dash cam

Holy crap!!! Nuts.

 

He might have been falling asleep. He was drifting between the shoulder and the travel lane from the beginning of the video.

 

I saw one of these minus the crash but it easily could’ve happened the other night when I started driving at 4 AM. The guy was weaving so badly that I simply followed him for about 20 minutes and wouldn’t even pass them. Going from one lane to the other. Flashed them with my lights several times. No contact via the CB. Pull over and go to sleep!

 

At least he signaled his intentions.

 

That happened on the Coquihalla last winter, except his co-driver was sleeping in the sleeper and got sucked out, fricken brutal.

 

####.
If you don’t have a dash cam get one NOW !

 

This is why Landstar has a sitting duck policy.

 

Turned right into the guy. By the time the driver that initiated the contact looked up from his phone, it was too late.

Fortunately the people at the top have a plan for 18 year olds to start driving.

 

Someone will be along to make excuses for him.

And if he killed anyone he shouldn’t get too harsh of a sentence.
