    Definitely a huge coward without the back of another truck coming through your windshield.

    Same here. It's the others around me I don't trust. If they're calling for a big storm I won't book anything and PA is notorious for shutting down everything anyways.

    I doubt the Swift driver survived that crash, as it hit straight into his face.

    And with all the other wrecks happening, the guy recording it was only worried about his car.
    Not a word about, or even moving to help, people that are in need of help.

    That shows very clearly what social media has done to humanity.

    I remember one night going through Oklahoma it was pouring rain so hard there were rivers running across the freeway. You could barely see a #### thing. A bunch of truckers on the CB, screaming at other drivers to get out of the way, calling them ####### and everything else, most of us were doing about 35 mph. These truckers would come by doing about 70. About 15 minutes later in a few miles up the road there’s three of them jackknifed upside down sideways and in the ditch. If you can’t freaking see, SLOW DOWN!

    Playing devils advocate here its more then posible he was in absolute shock. Add into that the fact his car looked to have been rear ended before the pileup and its posible he had a mild concussion and/or whiplash. Shock plus a head and spine injury can make people act oddly or default to a more "normal" mindset to protect themselves.

    There is a reason that men need to be trained to handle high stress situations. The untrained sort tend to default to X or Y and freeze up. I mean hell after my wreck i didnt kill anyone or get hurt and i was pretty shook up for most of the day espeically after the adrenaline crash. When i finally got to a hotel room im not ashamed to admit i had to sit down and just shook for a couple hours afterwards.
