082222 MOTHER KILLED TWO CHILDREN EJECTED AFTER CAR HITS TWO 18 WHEELERS

[@trekkie1995]

That is one reason why it is illegal to pass vehicles in a curve on a two lane, two way road. It is dangerous. However, as a volunteer firefighter/emt, I have been on more than a few of these crashes where the driver wants to gamble with their life by breaking to the law and driving like a fool.

@@anitakristensen4679 No they don't. That is why, not only do I wear our department's Hi-vis vest, but I also keep my head on a swivel. In otherwords, I am always paying attention, not just to my patients, but also to the surrounding traffic as well. And unfortunately, this is how it is getting to be more and more. I think that the best way to combat this, is to bring back driver's ed and bring the showing of videos like Signal 30, Red and Dead, etc. Teach these kids the consequences of driving dangerously and violating traffic laws.

[@pennystewart4127]

Between Manchester GA and Talbotton GA I regularly have semi's pass me on a curve going uphill. I am working driving railcrews to trains or home hub. Been told the reason they are willing to kill everyone is because they are paid by every load. Only time we are safe is Sundays because they have that day off. Waiting for the day when they kill someone hopefully it won't be a stopped School bus. Which happened to my grandchildren about 6 years ago JB Hunt driver texting looked up and School bus was unloading. No fatalities one child airlifted to Macon with head injuries she was in the last seat right side the semi took that corner. It was her first day back to school after beating cancer thank God she made it and still cancer free her and my granddaughter are best friends and just graduated high school. So tired of all its 4 wheelers fault yes they are stupid driver's on both sides but day by day it's the semi driver's getting worse.

[@juliogonzo2718]

@@pennystewart4127 while I don't disagree that there are an increasing amount of Yahoo's driving semis, if a semi is passing a minivan going up hill I'm guessing you may possibly be not going with the flow of traffic, or are slowing down at the base of the hill. I live in a hilly curvy part of the world and end up behind people who vary their speed widely. Straight road, foot to the floor impassable, hill or curve slow down by 15mph. Repeat. It's quite aggravating to not be able to pass someone for 45 minutes who cannot maintain a constant speed and also will not allow vehicles behind to pass, but I do not let impatience cloud my judgement. Some may not have the self control. If it's hallcon you work for it may be because the van has 867,000 miles on it for which it's inability to climb a hill is excused. I'm not trying to be a dick and accuse you of being a bad driver but it takes two to tango. As a professional driver which you are, you have to make sure to cooperate with other road users. When someone wants to pass me I let them. I even help them by slowing down in straight stretches when no oncoming traffic is present and crowding the right side of my lane so the person behind can see. It's safer for me in the long run. There is no courtesy on the road anymore. It's all about "me." If someone is behind me acting stupid I want them to get by me.

[@spiralrose]

Agreed. If the drivers of those trucks weren’t doing anything wrong and none of this was their fault, I don’t want them to suffer the anguish of a guilty conscience. They probably will though. That’s the drawback of human empathy, even when there was nothing we could have done differently in our own control to change the situation we still feel responsible. It’s like train conductors after somebody commit suicide by train. They couldn’t have changed it and they couldn’t do anything to stop it but it still hurts.

I’m 72, but even when I got my DL at 16, I’ve always had a healthy respect(you could say fear)of any type of big trucks. I never follow close. And when there’s one coming up behind me, I try to move over out of his way. I don’t even try to pass them. And I was thinking, are people required to watch these types of videos before they get their license? Do kids in school take drivers ed? I’m in the mindset that I avoid traveling on the interstate if at all possible. I either take the feeder roads, or I know away around the construction that’s going on now on I 45. There have been a few deadly accidents on the highway before it’s even finished. I am NOT in any hurry to get anywhere I need to go.

[@moman0166]

I see it every day because they stopped Drivers Ed in schools 15 years ago in our school system. People have no clues of the safe driving that we were taught in Drivers Ed. They don’t know what to do when you come to a 4 way stop at the same time. The kids think it’s funny to blow through stop signals and not to yield to emergency vehicles then drive in a turning lane but when they hit the interstate they loose at their games. 90,000 lb trucks will never have enough brakes to compensate for stupidity.

[@markb3756]

So true. Drivers Education is a very important course for a teenager to be required to take and pass to get their license. Their lack of knowledge and stupidity combined with the "me me me" attitude usually doesn't end well for someone, sometimes an innocent someone. It blows my mind how many cars will go through a light in a turning lane after it has turned red. I've seen as many as four cars do it before and people not knowing how to use the "turning lane" between opposite lanes. They will get in that lane and drive down it forever until they can merge into traffic. If I remember correctly we were taught to pull into that lane and sit there until you can turn, not to endlessly drive down it.

Yeah, like even tho' you can tell the truck drivers were not at fault here, you can see the officer measuring the trucks tire tread, which is just one thing tested out of many that they were doing to the trucks, and if his truck tires don't have enough tread, then the trucker will be sighted for that, and in some cases will be found to be at fault do to lack of traction. Truckers get put through the mill, with their trucks being gone over, and if they find anything they deem to be wrong they'll receive citations, which are MUCH higher than regular vehicles receive and they even have to go and get drug tested even if the crash clearly wasn't their fault.

Realize that we lost 2,700 fighting warriors in Afghanistan over a twenty year period. Driving your car is far more deadly. The year of my service in Vietnam May'68-'69 was a real killer year...but not only in Vietnam. Total loss of our soldiers fighting to stop Communism from consuming a democratic elected government, South Vietnam, was around 57,000 over a about a 11 year period. However right here in the states, on our highways and byways , during the years 1968 and 1969 I was much safer over there than If I were here driving on our killer road , as 102,607 men women and children were killed in motor vehicle accidents.

What an awful tragic collision. As a truck driver this is the kind of thing I worry about. Despite not being either of the trucks fault, not only do they have to live with it after, but they will still be as heavily scrutinized by police as if they were at fault.

[@bolivingston1400]

Sending lots of prayers out to all involved

[@dzznuts7580]

Hope the children pull through and that there's a father or grandparent to care for them

[@joyous8248]

Omg .. seeing a child’s toy just got me … 🙏🏽❤️🥺💐… deepest condolences for mom & prayers for speedy recovery for boys ❤️🙏🏽💐🥺

[@johnmarshall4442]

I worked as a helicopter mechanic for a medical life flight company. I never asked about their job , about how their day was ( or night ) sometimes they would talk about it , sometimes they didn't . Not everyone that makes it on the helicopter, makes it to the Hospital. I drive very defensive, always watching what's going on .when I was just out of high school 1986 I was in a car accident, first time to fly on a helicopter. Life flight Houston Texas , Herman Hospital. This is a sad story.

[@jenniegirl012003]

Prayers for those precious children and to those responders!

[@joypalmer7616]

So sad. A life taken at a young age. Sympathies to the families involved.

[@vahvahdisco]

That’s very sad, those kids are going to be so traumatised from this but to lose their mum this way too is heart wrenching. RIP to the mother and best wishes for a speedy recovery to the children

[@_Babs_1960]

It's a wonder anyone survived this.

[@VangoghsDoggo]

First thing I noticed was new black top and no lines on the road for passing/no passing zones. She may have thought she had enough time to pass and it was ok. So sad of an accident. No matter how safe you think you might be, you could have this happen.

[@gsdalpha1358]

Ben driving for 50+ years and don't recall there's EVER been a passing zone on a curve. If she didn't have clear line of sight, she shouldn't have passed.

[@singingsparrow83]

It was her responsibility to drive safely. Passing in a curve is illegal, lines or no lines. She was totally responsible if she was passing in a curve.

[@talockavargas2361]

I know it's easy to jump to conclusions based on what has initially been reported but for the sake of her loved ones please wait for the final investigation is completed. If I made a fatal mistake I would hope that other drivers would show compassion, instead of posting negative comments families read. As driver's I am 100% sure their is no one who hasn't made mistakes driving. We have all reached for something or taken our eyes off the road.

[@margief1798]

As a retired firefighter/EMT/ level one trauma tech, it seriously irritates me when cops or civilians with absolutely NO emergency medical knowledge or training/ certifications moves a critically injured patient with severe head trauma!!!! That also most likely includes spinal cord injuries!!! You NEVER move a patient unless the car is on fire!!!!!

[@gern321]

Settle down Dr. Feelgood. They did the best they could. How many people did you really see that a C-Spine injury killed the patient while being moved. As a Paramedic for 25 years I never saw it make a injury worse.

[@suzintex2002]

It was actually a volunteer fireman with medic training who lived nearby who moved her and conveyed her last words to her family for her.

[@tdenisesmith4814]

My prayers are with the family of the victims deepest prayers for those two little boys. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@sandithomas7294]

I didn't read the part about them being boys..my heart goes out to them both..Moma made a mistake and they will have to live without her..that is so tragic..

[@cloakofanonymity]

Great mother. Really thoughtful of her children.

[@robertgoodrich398]

When the asphalt cools after being laid down, paint lines on it. There are more bends/curves in the road that are still passing zones than curves/bends that aren't. I didn't notice no passing zone signs . She might not have seen them if they were present due to the semi she was trying to pass. There are a lot of things that went wrong here. The road not being marked is a huge blackeye on this scene.

[@marcbenish2204]

Liberty county if any particular road gets repaved you are lucky......the road will be half worn out by the time it gets stripes......787 & 1001 most dangerous roads in liberty county

[@juliogonzo2718]

That is a good point.

[@paulne1514]

The closer you get to the back of a big truck, the further you have to go out into oncoming traffic to see. Stay back so you might have to hug the center line or wait til you come to a curve, where you can easily see. Have your HEADLIGHTS on! Not daytime running lights.

[@jeffmoodie6144]

I always find myself counting “time I would have saved” in many situations. I’m always surprised by how little difference passing or driving that little bit faster makes. It’s never worth the risk when it isn’t absolutely a safe pass.

[@danreich4320]

It seems she might have been okay if she had just stayed off the road and came to a stop in the grass. Then gotten her bearings and back on the road. Terrible decision to pass in a curve on a slippery road.

[@susancannon9363]

So sad. Prayers for the family. Wishing a speedy recovery for the children.

[@arestoycloset9924]

Normally I try to stay natural in my comments, but everyone criticizing the mother without knowing the whole story. Please stop and be respectful the mother was a friend.

[@thatguy8005]

People should remember… driving is a deadly activity… pay attention.

[@truthhunter3538]

I feel for the family but also the Truck Drivers I know that either one of them would have hit trees to keep from being involved with her death and hurting kids!

[@larrysintay4456]

Driver's licenses are too easy to obtain

[@rhuephus]

you're a perfect example ..

[@isking1715]

The lady was 32, she could have been driving for 15 years.

[@ItsMe-vg4vj]

I drive for my job for over 20 years and theres no shortage of women putting their kids lives at risk I'll tell ya.

[@ryanbyrd3835]

"How was work today, dear?" "Well, I got to unwillingly participate in the death of a mother and the near-death of her two children. Probably won't be driving a truck anymore." Everyone please be safe out there.

[@VoluptuousDonnaRae]

I am praying for all involved but especially the two children that lost their mother.

[@winnerscircle2261]

So sad for everyone involved she was in a hurry just to end up deceased and her children severely hurt, prayer for the children and the families.🙏

[@stellab3828]

Whenever I'm stuck behind any vehicle on a 2-lane highway, I repeat this mantra: "Better late than dead."

[@ChubbiBun]

Wow, a split second decision to pass turned out fatal. Prayers and condolences for the truck drivers, and families of the involved.

[@SkyEaglespirit]

I wish someone could give an update on the children? Such a tragedy. 🙏

[@irmastamper6089]

Very Sad 😔 prayers for the family 👪

[@jenniferferguson4373]

Praying for all involved. I hope the kiddos heal up real fast, bless their hearts!

[@bubbiej6046]

Prayers for the family and the little ones 🙏 ❤️

[@johnmanley2590]

Better to arrive late than not at all. Now these kids will grow up without their mother

[@lauriegermain5041]

My condolences go out to the family of the kids who lost their mother .

[@harryyarrow4110]

Sending out love to the family involved.🧡💛❤

[@spiralrose]

Those children might live, But they will never recover from this.

[@pyrettablaze0414]

I’m a retired medic and mom so these Really hit home, whenever there’s kids ( babies, infants, toddlers, children of any age ) involved - it becomes a different level! It changes your life! 😓

[@barnybrewman1571]

Too Sad. If you want to do stupid things, please don't jeopardize other peoples lives in the process, especially children who's lives are in your hands. The few minutes you might save by driving a little faster, are certainly not worth someones lives.

[@texasfanguy]

Kids paying for the idiot's mistakes. Was it worth it?

[@sherrimccune5946]

My condolences to the family and I pray for a complete recovery for the children.

[@barryh1388]

Don't be in a hurry if your late your late, my condolences to the family and hoping for a full recovery for the little one's. Just stay calm, take things easy and always pay attention to what is going on ahead of you. Don't let being impatient become someone's life pain.

[@terrilazzaro6460]

Prayers for the family members involved and those that will be there to help along the way. and ALL 1st responders on the scene. Prayers for the drivers that have to mentally deal with this.. May God give them strength.. Especially prayers for those 2 children. 🙏

[@OOceaneyess]

I always drove with extra caution when I had my kids in my car. This woman was 32, very sad what happened to her, but she is old enough to know better.Putting herself and her two very young and innocent children in deadly jeopardy just to get somewhere a little quicker. May the mother Rest In Peace and may the 2 children be quickly and completely healed, both physically and emotionally.🙏

[@karenhouser4123]

Completely avoidable. Prayers for the two innocent children's recovery🙏🙏 Unfortunately, I have witnessed passing on a double yellow line on a curve here in Michigan more than once. Insane driving!

[@markb3756]

It's one thing to be careless and reckless while driving but to have your young children in the car while doing so? I always leave in plenty of time to get where I am going. If you're going to be late then just drive as you normally would as late is late.....

[@debbieshomes6984]

Awful to lose your mother in this way and at such young ages too. So sad! I hope her kids make a full recovery. In Jesus name, Amen

[@jamesaucutt8284]

Geez I wonder what was going through her mind that caused her to do that ? It’s unfortunate that it happened

[@tedarias9040]

Slow down, and drive defensively so many people take those chances putting everyone in danger. She took a chance and lost. i see it every time I drive. Sad.

[@myspurs2003]

Prayers to all

[@Warpig-o068]

Prayers for all 🙏🏻

[@zephirinedrouhin3735]

I’m so sorry to see this. I hope the two children made it okay. I’m sorry they lost their mom. How sad.

[@vman2025]

I hope that kids will make a full recovery.

[@lloydellmiller6279]

Don’t ever get in a fight with an 18 wheeler. You will lose. So sorry for the loss. Prayers for those babies.

[@maryanonomous5847]

such a loss, prayers to all involved. GOD BE WITH YOU.

[@largelarry2126]

Passing in a turn with two kids in the car, wow. I hope both the children recover and my condolences to her family.
