Ok I drive trucks and live in Minnesota, we get HORRIBLE weather all the time. People take shit seriously up here when it comes to driving in bad weather. This storm hit us too, I drove Semi's in it and got home fine. It's idiotic to drive 50+ on poor roads in white out conditions which all those vehicles were doing.

It's so sad. People who live that weather, and I used to---they should know better. The truckers, the professionals, most of all, right?

0:20 Practically snuff.

Fucking horrifying.

All I can think watching this kind of thing is I wish someone could do something, but what? At most all I can imagine is someone going back a few hundred yards and throwing road flares into the road. That'll never happen. The only thing you can do is not drive so damned fast when you can't see what's in front of you. That also will never happen.

Unless there's a news report saying no one was killed, I'm afraid this does qualify as snuff because it doesn't seem possible that the car sandwiched between big-rigs was survivable.

Ya the truckers should be driving like 30mph with their flashers on. Even if it is too slow for conditions everyone would slow it up when they do. 40% of accidents in these conditions involving a semi kills someone and rarely is it the truck driver.

One dead, 23 hurt. Truck with hazardous materials and one with fireworks were involved.

No way that car occupant survived at :20

How bout you CALL 911 INSTEAD OF FILM IT JACKASSES!


And yes wtf are they doing driving 60mph in white out conditions?

could've jumped out real quick, not wearing a seat belt might have been an advantage

It sounds like the one person that did die, was someone that did happen to hit a semi, it sounded like a vehicle driver to me (perhaps the person right before :20; but, there are a lot of semi-trailers in this crash...).

Everyone watching this knows to be more cautious in the future, so the guy filming might have actually done more good than anyone else. It's really hard to say.

They all seem to forget for the first couple of big storms of the season though. Dunno if Michigan had been plowed previously with a white-out but it's close enough to me to suspect they had near-summer-driving conditions like we did for most of December...? And that gets you hoping you're not gonna need your snow tires...
