    you know, after looking at that video a few times, I can only surmise the truck driver saw her coming down the ramp, that is a given. But then too, if he saw the SUV, and if you watch the video, it would seem, he hit brakes too late. could he have NOT been paying any attention..??? and I wonder however, if he had BOTH hands on the steering wheel, to at least keep the truck up right.

    But given speeds, it may have been impossible with such a whack he took.

    Its very sad this lady decided to run into this truck. Why do people decide to do suicide-by-truck? She could have went full speed at a cement wall or ran her vehicle into a river and harmed no one(hopefully) but herself.

    I actually wish people in this life did not want to commit suicide. This is a big world and people live in so many different ways I don't see why someone would choose to die then move away or live a different way.

    While we're on the topic of accidents and such.. I seen another video right after watching that one that shows how stupid and dangerous road rage is..

    same as suicide by cop.

    these morons want to die, but are cowards for doing the actual act, and need someone else to do it for them.

    I watched it again too. If I was that truck driver & saw a car facing the wrong way at first I would assume it was an undercover cop waiting with a radar gun would be glancing down at my speed. It never would occur to me that vehicle would instantly race out in front of me. I see him hitting the brakes as soon as he realized it but to no avail.

    I just hope this type of thing doesn't get too much attention on the web for fear it becomes a chosen way out for others like all these people who shoot multiple victims in churches or movies/ theater etc then kill shoot themselves. These murder/suicides acts are something I guess I'll never understand.

    In my mind suicide is the cowards way out when they take others with them.

    There are many reasons why some people commit suicide; the top factors are:
    1- ongoing depression (multiple reasons there)
    2-they are mentally ill/ psychotic/schizophrenics etc
    3-they have impulsive personalities
    4-They’re crying out for help & don’t know how to get it.
    5-they have a terminal illness
    6-they experimented with drugs/glue etc for a high

    well, given that hollywoodland makes movies of racing cars on the highways, and hijacking trucks as they roll down the road, or drifting on busy streets, I can see no other reason for this to happen again.

    when something is on the big screen and some what glamorized, others think it is either allowed, or fun to have the cops chasing them, or nothing will happen.....
     
    EndHatred Thanks this.
