A friend of mine posted this on his FB. Not sure where it is but terrible regardless of the location. We take life for granted and in a matter of seconds it can be changed for ever. Slow down everyone!!!

Re: just shows you have fast your life can change

I sent it off to my daughters/nieces/nephews who drive like crazy and probably texting while doing it. Anything to wake them up and not take things for granted in life.

Re: just shows you have fast your life can change

Watching accidents happen or being involved is crazy. I have personally witnessed 2-3 severe accidents happen in front of me and was able to be a first responder. Still gives me the heebe geebez about one I seen happen.

Re: just shows you have fast your life can change

Pretty crazy. Exactly the reason why I hate being beside someone on a highway that's not so great, I like to be alone and away from everyone else a lot safer. Doesn't do much good for oncoming though.

Second, 99.999% chance the truck was in 2wd eh? Sure some are completely unexpected but that was 100000% drive error.

Still really sad, but people need to pay a lot more attention so crap like this doesn't happen so much.

That makes you sick to watch.

One of many reason why I run studded winters on everything.

I would really like to see like 5-10 minutes of that person driving before the accident, from the bit shown the driving was horrible and the accident was waiting to happen. Studded tires are great, but staying in the lane and not drifting over onto the snow is better.....

Seriously??????????????

You have never once drifted into the snow or a tad bit into a lane, because you had to skip the next song, take a drink of coffee, or anything like that?
If you say "NO", I'll bet more than just me will call BULLCHIT!
I'm not trying to be an azz, but I do put on 5000km's in a month 5 days a week, and I'm far from the perfect driver. What ever the perfect driver is?

You ever broke traction in four wheel drive? You have ZERO chance of recovery.

People who drive in four wheel drive faster than the conditions will allow, are looking for a problem.

This accident is caused by what you see all the time. To fast, swerved into the slush, broke traction.

This day and age most accidents are driver related. Not to many are the result of a faulty vehicle.

in conditions such as in the video, one should make damn sure he doesn't have one of those "moments". especially passing other vehicles when there is a 4 inch deep line of slush in the middle of the road. the dude fawked up, and I'm guessing he paid the ultimate price. if anything, people should learn something from this video

I agree 100% that the driver phucked up! It was not the time or place to put your foot into it, or reach for a ????
But for any of us to speculate what happened at the time of it happening, isn't right either.
Like you said..... "if anythng, people should learn something from this video"
