To be fair it was a pretty clever move he pulled to ditch the cop, but instead of hitting the brakes he kept going at an insane rate of speed. He could've been on his merry way after shaking that cop loose had he simply braked after he cleared the highway onto the offramp. No idea why he thought it was a good idea to take that turn at that speed... guess you're right after all, dude wasn't too brilliant

I certainly would have tried to get the guy out but I’m not risking my life for an idiot that risked multiple peoples lives on a highway. As always, the guy is still human and was a person. All thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Now you all see what first responders have to go through.

I drove to Las Vegas from L.A. and there is a several mile stretch of Interstate 15 that comes off few thousand foot mountains down an incline leading to the state line. You can see several casinos and attractions from over 7 or 8 miles away seemingly growing out of the desert floor you are descending to. I got the urge to floor the car under the misguided notion that the CHP could NOT follow me into Nevada (they can). I probably hit 140 top speed in 4th as 5th was really just a cruising overdrive (I think I had a stock 2:73 to 1 rear end which was later changed to 3:55 and improved the situation in 5th). At any rate, I could have sworn I saw a police cruiser trying to catch up to me, and I took the exit leading to the Nevada town of Primm. Barely a curve, but with me still over 100 and looking intently back for a cruiser (it was actually a guy who I had passed on my run who tried to catch back up--and this was before the days where people carry cells) I nearly wiped out on a very slight turn that was more of a slight 'S' than any kind of curve. I was watching my mirrors and looking back over my shoulder WAY too much and even that slight bend nearly caused me to wreck.

I'm not celebrating it but he got the repercussions of his own actions. You never know what will be the results when you start down a path of foolish decisions. Better him than an innocent person just trying to live their lives.

A kid I went to school with had a car accident and the car burst into flames, he was seen begging to get out but no one could even get close to the vehicle but worse than that his mother was one of the first on scene and saw it all, I’m not sure how anyone could cope after seeing that. His younger brother drowned and his older brother decided to end it by driving at speed into a solid wall but ended up surviving and spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair

Having witnessed a fiery end to a Truck driver who rolled his 18 wheel dump truck. Hearing the man scream that he needed help and was trapped in the cab and was engulfed in flames rather quickly and there wasn't anything myself or the other drivers who stopped. That sound haunted me for months, I was so helpless and wanted to help the guy but the flames were intense, we couldn't get near it. It is sad and hard to have watched that and give a statement to the Highway Patrol about what I saw and heard.

[@cattnipp]

I do wish truckers would slow down and drive safer. One dump truck guy killed a mom and 4 kids.

[@yankee_tango]

@@cattnipp It is sad that happened, but it isn't always the fault of the truck driver when involved in an accident. Triple A has show over the years that 80% of accidents involving a car and a commercial vehicle is the fault of the automobile driver, and in that 80%, near 90% of the automobile drivers did something illegal. So please do not jump to the conclusion that the trucker is always at fault because we are not. As a former truck driver myself I have seen bad apples on both sides of the accident, I am not saying that the truck driver is always innocent, but the automobile driver does have to be smart as well. I hope that helps you to understand that not all truckers are bad people.
