    I'm curious about the U turn tractor in the second video. The trailer doesn't hit the light pole, yet it is snagged down. Must be low wires that aren't visible in the video.

    Fourth video is a hoot at 1:14. He wasn't speeding. :biggrin_2559:

    Finished the video. I am astonished at how many of those wrecks happened in Iowa. I am a local driver here, and it should be the easiest state in the country to drive in! Sure there's a few hills here and there but mostly just a bunch of cornfields with a few cities in between. How do so many people screw it up!?!?

    They get complacient. Its easy and requores so little attention to do it right that they start texting or watching vids or just go into a road trance and well this.
