18 wheeler jacknifes feet away from camera crew north of Hearne, TX

To fast for iced up roads. I'll nvr understand why ppl like to speed on iced up roads. Boggles my mind.

 

Lack of experience, lack of common sense, lack of willingness to think.

 

Within feet? A little over dramatic wouldn't you say.

 

mere inches away lol

 

I think you were looking at where the truck stopped not where it had been. Did you look at the tracks in the dirt compared to the tripod? I would say not over dramatic. I would not have wanted to be that close.

 

I'm guessing there was an unannounced change of underwear.

 

I agree over dramatic.

 

Just what that man needed, his head more than likely on the chopping block with the company and now his face in the news LOL

 

Classic iced over roads (freezing rain setup) that is mostly seen in the south leaves roads in a condition that requires PERFECT momentum maintenance, no positive excess torque, no excess negative torque, no quick braking or accelerating, no quick turning, no mistakes, period. You can lose it at 15 MPH as easy as at 35 MPH. All it takes is one teeny, tiny "mistake" in one instant. No doubt the driver was "distracted" by all the commotion and may have wandered a bit in the roadway and tried to correct.

Slick snow is very forgiving compared to a 1/4 inch of frozen rain buildup
