NJ Turnpike black ice. Estes doubles driver just gives up...

If you ask my he did nothing but get lucky that driver had 0 control of that truck. If the one filming this were 10 feet back he'd be wiped out.

 

VERY VERY cool message on this follow up video from the person that took the original video. Kudos to the general public that recognize what this trucker did to save lives.

 

The trailers were empty, that didn't help and he missed the camera car. He might of tried to miss the car.

 

i give that driver props. did what he could after that out of his hands... also nice to see the guy filming thanked him and didn't try and sue the "dirty nasty trucker whose been awake for a week"...

 

He also broke his neck.

 

The truck is kind too fast for ice and empty trls and the guy recording is typical brainless new generation of You Tube heroes, recording his death, maybe next time; should move ahead get out of the car asap in this pile up situation; I remember watching the news 5-6 months ago some Japanese hikers got caught dead in a volcano eruption, didn't even bother to run for their life, they keept recording great shots; other dorks got eaten alive by grizzly bears in Alaska ,British Columbia, looking for great videos;

 

If you have never driven a single axle short wheelbase daycab as i have for the last 19 years you are clueless to how Horrible they handle in inclement weather. Not to mention them getting stuck in 2-3 inches with almost weightless LTL loads. My particular tractor does not have any locking diff. capabilities. Many props to this driver pulling a set in weather where most would have been parked

 

Single Screw is exactly that, A SINGLE SCREW "UP" will definitely mess with your day in 2-3 inches of snow.

 

Creamed a car on the other side after went over center railing. Towards end of video. Was full loss of control at video start from far right lanes, misses videographer in same direction of traffic in far left lane and crosses over into oncoming traffic where TKs.

One very bad day...

//Oops!! Did not see Part II.

 

I feel horrible for the driver. I have it waaaay to easy driving in florida where driving difficulties involve old people driving slow and a rain storm here and there. You all can keep the snow and black ice and keep it the hell away from me.

Also, not sure where people see the driver ending up in the passenger seat. I notice an orange work vest rested on the passenger seat, but seems the driver stayed put in his seat. You can see the driver leaning over the steering wheel when the car passes by after the truck comes to a complete stop on the rail.
