Are there any traffic cams at this intersection? If not there should be

Wow that's rough.. Not even that big of a hill. Been up and down it a couple times. Always thought it was sketchy coming off the mountain right into town and always wondered if anybody ever crashed and burned into someone's house. Guess it wasn't a crazy thought after all.

Supposedly they put the ramp too far up the hill. Once they realize they’re screwed they’ve already passed the run a way ramp.

Problem is these guys ride thier brakes ALL THE WAY DOWN... Because they dont know how to handle a truck, are in automatics and dont have to think about gearing down. Id be willing to bet that the number of runaway accidents started to spike about the same time as auto truck and GPS usage.Flat Earth Trucker, Val_Caldera, mjd4277 and 5 others Thank this. -
It’s a pretty big hill, but after he realized how steep the climb up from Logan Canyon was, I’m surprised he was willing to go any faster than 25 down the other side. I reckon he’s now a believer in the ‘go down the same speed you came up’ approach.

I wonder if this driver was speeding before his brakes overheated. It's tempting to start down at 55 mph instead of the truck speed limit. Personally, if traffic is blocking the runaway ramp I'm hitting that traffic on my way to the ramp. At least the people in that crash deserved to be run over.bryan21384 and Cattleman84 Thank this. -
