Hit and Run on Busy L.A. Freeway Escalates Quickly into a Multiple Vehicle Accident

Don't need signs, those are evil.

Damn. Looks like it could've been even worse given how many cars were going past

5* for total Idiocracy. Cheers Dan!

This one time I grew up with you, then suddenly everyone just mysteriously logged off.

Oh, the memories of living in LA. Dodging reckless drivers was a daily event. I'm sure it's worse now with clot shots.

Gets back into his vehicle, doesn't turn flashers on.

Hope hit and run guy was the one loaded into ambulance.

Are all drivers in LA/California this retarded?

I can't imagine how these idiots would drive in an environment with snow or ice on the road.

It does beg the question, doesn't it?

Aftermath of 131 car pileup in Wisconsin.

Why would it take so long for police or ANY highway assistance to arrive with flashing lights and or road flares?

Wasn’t the person filming literally on the phone with them the entire time?

I used to drive home almost every night on the 5 from Anaheim to Granada Hills falling asleep at the wheel the whole way. I remember multiple times slowing down on the freeway because I thought people's headlights were red lights I needed to slow down & stop for.

These were probably just women or millennials texting & driving tho.

Now you know why the gov't needs a kill switch for our cars!

Kidding!

Anyone else notice the person filming kept their light to the left of the cars. If he would have lit up the cars after the first collision, less people would have hit them afterwards... just sayin'.

My daughter has a friend who pulled off to the side of the road and got out of her car when she had a car problem or a flat tire.

She was in college at the time.....18 years old. Another car ran into her....even though she was off the road. Her injuries were so bad, a leg had to be amputated. Beautiful and sweet girl.

I'm assuming that guy in the video, who stayed with his car, lost his life. How tragic.

Oh that's horrible.

They were obviously waiting for you to show up and teach them how to properly avoid disabled, difficult to see cars on a freeway at 80mph and at 10pm at night

Yeah, I was sitting here wondering why that wasn't the first thing he did, put the hazard lights on. People would've known he was stalled out in the middle of the freeway before they were right on top of him, and would've slowed down much sooner.

All of that could've been avoided, had of he just put his cars hazard lights on.


And why was the dumbass standing in the road, and then getting back in his car? I mean, was this a suicide attempt?....


Very dangerous, and so much fail....

Yeah, I was just thinking the whole time, "how fucking dumb do you have to be to stand there 15 feet away from a pileup as it's happening?"

People have zero survival instincts anymore.

That's exactly how THEY want it.

Sad.

He could have reported this incident when it happened but he waited to get something on camera. The sky even turned dark when he only reported it

lol

My daughter, who was accustomed to driving in rain or snow in the notheast, lived in San Diego for 6 years. Because it hardly ever rains there, she said that when it did, there were so many accidents. People couldn't drive in the rain!

Here ya go....I just googled "driving in rain in San Diego," and articles appear:

Why San Diego drivers are fools in the rain

Q. Do people drive a lot worse in the rain in San Diego, CA?
A. Yes. Some drivers in San Diego lose their minds when it rains.

As a "Professional Driver" I gotta say, none of this surprises me.

In general people are terrible drivers in the cities, did you notice how many people there were NOT truck drivers turned on their hazard lights?? Maybe two?

I see people from my high vantage point texting and driving, CONTINUOUSLY, and I mean 10-15 times an hour. And some people are NOT good at hiding it at all.

The basics of driving are non existent in I would say, 40% of drivers.

And it used to be you could count of "professional Drivers" to be generally good drivers. But with the truck driver shortage I've seen a HUGE increase in idiot big rig drivers the last 6/7 years.

It's dangerous AF out there on the highways. Pay attention and slow down.

Heh, I learned to drive in Cali in the 70s. I lived in no-snow-zones for most of my life. I moved to WI....

I do believe it has got to be better to be raised up in snow country, if you're going to drive in snow country.

Even here in New Mexico, we get snow and ice. It's not often, but it happens. I was trying to drive a client to Las Cruces for an appt. the morning after a (for us) debilitating snow storm.

I was driving down the highway, going so slow, hit black ice, and the car fish tailed, and then went across all the lanes to the other side, turning around along the way, and we landed in a ditch, facing the highway.

When we came to a stop, I let out a yelp - ya know, a "HOLY CRAP!, I'm in one piece" yelp - and my client was crying. Just about scared her to death.

Fortunately, the roads were almost empty, so no one was in our way while sailing across the highway, and someone came along in a truck, jumped out, got some rope, and pulled us out of the ditch. Heh, we went back home.

Never again will I travel on icy roads. There's not anything in the world that anyone needs that badly, that I have to drive in it.

....and I know youse guyses who grew up in snow country are saying, "Pfht, just another winter day for us....yuh snowflake."
