I see they don't have one of the fancy new phones that tells them to rotate. Crazy video though.

Damn, I have relatives around there. It's really amazing, I expect the car/suv drivers to be dipshits, but what are those truck drivers doing cruising along at 35 or 40 in a snowstorm? If you can't see slow the hell down.

wow that isn't funny at all, but that completely reminded me of burnout revenge on xbox360 where they had all of those crash zones lol.

good for that guy to finally realizing he should start helping some people.

Surprised there was only one fatality. A truck driver died. I'm guessing it's the guy at 0:49

It don't matter how fast you can get that truck gong. It only matters if you can stop before you ram into the stopped fuel truck infront of you
(I'm guesting that was something other than fuel, but....)

Only person in the video driving at a safe speed was that last truck that stopped in plenty of time. Seems these people that have snow every winter sure don't know how to drive in it. Some of them looked they were going at least 50.

If the world made any sense, everyone that rammed into that pileup should automatically have their insurance rates double.

Truck pileups are pretty common out here in the winter. East of the city and out towards the Detroit/Windsor area. Blowing snow and pop up squalls can create sudden whiteout conditions. Couldn't go a week without at least one last winter.

A lot of truck drivers aren't exactly well trained either. Many of the pros left the industry when the rates dropped during the recession. Industry has a very high turnaround rate, so you've got a lot of green truckers on the roads now. A lot of them have probably clocked more miles for the day than they should be. It's downright scary.

This isn't the movies where fuel trucks explode into huge fireballs every single time something hits them.

I was surprised the guy filming it actually tried to help. I can't remember the last video of an accident or tragedy (that I've seen of course) where that's happened.

e: The "Daddy!!!!!" cry really got to me.

The first ~20 cars I feel bad for. After that, nothing. This is Darwanism at work bro. Let it take its place. I drive EXACTLY the speed limit. Weather conditions -10%, 20% for shit like this.

The world is overpopulated as it is. Go ahead. Drive 20+ on snow-days. Fucking losers.

You have the IQ of a bug. Obviously, none of them could see, and none of them could brake, that's why all of them piled into the wreck. The first one, the last one, and every one in between, all had the same conditions to deal with. And if you were on that highway that day, then exactly the same thing would have happened to you. Exactly the same thing.

That's insane, but it seems to happen on these big divided highways every time there's a bit of snow. People need to collectively learn to slow the fuck down and allow enough stopping distance. The issue is if one person slows down they get rear ended but EVERYONE needs to slow down and this would not be a problem.

Our roads look like that most of the time here but stuff like this rarely happens. Though the biggest danger here is non 4 way stop sign intersections because you can barely see if traffic is coming if you're at the stop, because the snow banks are higher than cars.

There should be a giant lit sign that says in those conditions, "Slow the Fuck down!" for emphasis, or simply lowering the speed limit with a speed camera added on for extra affect.

Dude if you are out driving your visibility you need to slow down. Thats why this was retarded. Peer pressured into doing 60 in those conditions. No way man. I would have slowed down and taken the next exit and found another way. I'm not dumb.
