rear cam video from Gurnee I94 car accident from Monday

[ktraver97ss]

100% had to do with the phone, so glad that nobody died, that's a testament to how safe cars are these days.

Thank god for CSI:TCG!
It couldn't possibly have been he fell asleep, or had a health issue, or was getting road head, or had a mechanical failure. NOPE 100% had to do with the phone.

 

[Shadow99]

On FB someone said he was on cruise control and fell asleep.

 

[ktraver97ss]

Color me shocked

 

[Blood on Blood]

Miracle no one was killed

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Shouldnt of cut off the semi truck.

 

[LoveSpank]

Jesus that dude dosent deserve to keep his CDL. Hope all pull through.

 

[c6zo6520]

This is just insane. Wow. Hope everyone was ok

 

[VenomousDSG]

Jesus that dude dosent deserve to keep his CDL.

That guy better lose his license completely, as well as do some serious jail time. That crash was insane.

 

[Yaj Yak]

serious jail time? for something that very well could have been 100% an accident?

wtf

 

[Mook]

Accident how? He didn't even slow down

I'm not saying he deserves jail time, but there better be one hell of an explanation

 

[BigJohnson]

On FB someone said he was on cruise control and fell asleep.

Cruis control keeps you dead in lane now? My shits dated then

 

[BigJohnson]

And I'm not a trucker but that's not a sleeper cab or anything. What kind of runs do they do? Long overnight hauls and such?

i agree, but what if there was mechanical failure or he had a health issue?

still gets jail time ?

Probably the same person who thinks autopilot lets you take a nap while driving a Tesla.

Ya never know, these guys switch trucks to run local deliveries and shit or just run a day cab OTR and stay in motels. Could be a million different scenarios.

Logo on the cab looks like the same as this company out of Naperville. Looks like they're a local and beyond carrier.

>> JR Cartage, Inc. <<

from the website might have to revise this...

Our constant drive to be the best is just one reason why JR Cartage was named Carrier of the Year from Nationwide Transportation. Add in a firm commitment to quality control, superb pricing communication and impeccable safety records and you have a new kind of trucking company.

Edit::their whole website is repeated with how they provide safe and quality service. Average driver experience of 10 years, lowest turnover rate, etc etc. Hmmmmm

 

[Shadow99]

No one ever puts it on cruise and uses their legs or knees to steer? Could then pass out. Im not saying thats what I think but what apparently one of the "logical" scenarios were.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Ive fallen asleep at the wheel for seconds and never leave my lane.....scares the fuck out of you but its definitely possible to steer straight and fall asleep for a few seconds

 

[ChrisRac]

How about we wait until more information is released before we start jumping to conclusions at how this happened?

 

[Mook]

Wheres the fun in that tho?

 

[Yaj Yak]

uh hey. that's not how the internet works, in case you're new here.

judge first and immediately pay out consequences.

and then ask questions.
