Chula Vista: I-805 Extrication Crash 05132020

INCIDENT DATE/TIME: 5-13-20 1:31 pm
LOCATION: SB I-805 JNO of L St
CITY: Chula Vista
DETAILS:
Two vehicles collided for unknown reasons while southbound on the I-805. One vehicle flew off of the freeway and into a ravine approx 60 feet down. It hit a piece of a freeway pole (call box?), and through a guardrail. The other vehicle flipped onto its side.
The driver of the vehicle in the ravine self extricated and climbed back up to the freeway. The elderly driver had to be extricated by firefighters. Both were transported to a local hospital with unknown injuries. The #4 & #5 lanes were blocked causing traffic to back up. Both drivers gave conflicting accounts as to how the accident occurred.

People out here crashing like it’s a contest

🤣😂🤣🤣

[@raccoonchronicles5134]

Awwww...it's an old man, that's somebody's grandpa.

[@jamesdicola4322]

Thats my friend Jim in the silver ford,he was hit from behind, never saw it coming,thank god just minor injuries and side air bags saved his life.you shouldn't judge before you know the facts.

[@MartinisnOlives]

James Dicola I'm glad he's okay. ❤️

[@erinjohnson4428]

Thank god he is ok. Looks like used trauma sheers to cut the seatbelt?

[@craycrayirl9492]

That’s the oddest extraction I’ve ever seen.

[@kelly00000111111]

4:47 definitely an old man comment... “my CAR!”

[@jg1027]

Kelly Adams hahaha it’s true

[@JizzyJones]

I’m in my 20s and I’d say the same thing lol

[@ShadowsandCityLights]

That was cute! 😊

[@cchask1954]

I hope the old guys OK.

[@jamesparker2632]

A little late, but thanks for the concerned. I am doing fine

[@tasteefreeze15]

Damn I wanted to see the vehicle get flipped back over :(

[@heatherfryer8635]

Fewer cars, more speeding. Its happening over in my town too.

[@matildebermudez5144]

Omg, yes. Sunday speeding on the Coronado Bridge for what?

[@pnwRC.]

Yeppers! Here in & around Seattle Washington, I see it everyday. While traveling to/from work I see people who are doing 80+MPH, in a 60MPH speedzone!

[@talkingtina4519]

Put distracted on top of that.....

[@WoodedAcres]

I lived in San Diego almost half my life and I have NEVER, EVER seen so many cars and trucks flipped upside down, and most of the time it's middle of a nice, sunny day driving less than 40mph. It's unbelievable. I don't even know how to roll a car on purpose. These people are experts at it. I saw a guy in what looked like to be a new Ford Ranger straddle the divider at the 5/78 split at Oceanside-Carlsbad right across from the lagoon. How do you do that? I think they turn the steering wheel all the way, and stand on the brakes like your life depended on it.

[@cherylb36]

Omg I pray everyone will be ok

[@bluelivesmatter3600]

I cant believe they are pulling him out through the window with a chunk of glass still hanging there and have not shored up the vehicle so it wont roll over on them. Wow

[@colleensgotcha]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@SimplyCali619]

Not every engine has rescue stabilizer/strut. Its usually carried in SAR/ Heavy/Urban Resue Trucks. I'm sure they would have used it if they had one. But I agree they could have extricated him a better way. But I'm not a FF so what do I know.

[@corisamuelson]

This must be the "B" team.

[@tbone3972]

corisamuelson SPEAKING OF THE “B” TEAM.... WHERE IS THE “A” TEAM BECAUSE “I PITY THE FOO” courtesy of MR. “T”.

[@frankthetank4101]

@@tbone3972 😂😂😂

[@donyadoolin2270]

That is one of the oddest extractions. Dude the car is already totaled. Cut the roof off and get this man out. And then there is the one firefighter holding the car up. Seriously if the car is going to turn over you are not going g to stop it.

[@jessicajoyce965]

Drove by this today 👀 crazyy

[@gomerhanger2285]

I can’t imagine getting this old and having to still get into car accidents. I’m out !

[@billjenkins687]

I AM that old. I just try to drive safely. It has worked for me since 1975.

[@joshuaw4258]

Stay out of the left lane if u plan on driving slower than everybody else

[@SherriNDallasTX]

First up close and personal camera work by 911 that I’ve seen in quite sometime. Great job!

[@andreamurphy1126]

Somebody Was Not Watching where they are going AND What they R Doing !!!!!!! N n

[@RickOshay...]

What the hell? The hustle and the bustle... Gotta love it...Right?

[@ken.cade5]

Speed Racer finally crashes.

[@kevinwallis2194]

I would have told them to push the car back on the wheels and ill get out then.

[@j-rod3718]

This is why you should always have on clean socks with no holes when you leave the house. Imagine having dirty socks on when being extricated from you vehicle and losing your shoes… 😉

[@mikefargo4339]

Great video of... "How Not to Do It" ! Just a bit more training needed guys.

[@jg1027]

Thank god they both appear to be ok. ❤️

[@barbsanderson9991]

Stay safe out there 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@claudiatawil9030]

I hope everyone is ok

[@dottieocaspianhorsesrock3643]

Great coverage!

[@updownstate]

0:12 Looks like ff is holding the car up.

[@mere619]

Road rage maybe 😧

[@garystar2398]

Unfortunate to see such a rag tag extrication. Nothing to stabilize the Explorer (other than one Firefighter trying to hold it up), and neither the patient or Firefighter even wearing a facial mask...

[@melvictorino4411]

It is now norm to drive at 90mph vice 75. People are always rushing. Drive safe peeps.

[@david_sdiego]

Over the steering wheel was easier than straight up the passenger window? Sometimes these rescues create more damage than is necessary. That wasn't exactly a total.

[@kathymclaughlin264]

Wow those two drivers certainly are lucky.

[@mrswood267]

He is going to be so sore but thankful he is alive!!!

[@619StangCali]

Wtf? He extracted him self! Took along time for that collar to go on?

[@klserna64]

Why did the old man have scissors?

[@brendamullins7491]

Fireman were so kind and patient

[@poker_18rs92]

If the man in the Explorer wasn't seriously hurt, then why not turn the SUV right-side up? It would seemingly be much easier then pulling him through the windshield & risk the thing tipping over?

[@jimmccabe801]

You're kidding right?

[@pnwRC.]

The man would be injured worse when the car was rolled back over!

[@eloisaguilar72]

😰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jimmccabe801]

There are some really stupid comments. Amazing.

[@robinday2137]

I wonder why they just pulled that guy out? Shouldn’t they have been more careful? Odd.

[@tbone3972]

Robin Day HE’S OUT RIGHT SO WHO CARES???? HE’S LUCKY HE’S NOT DEAD.

[@Terrifier1984]

Why ? Cause he cares about a ford garbage instead of his own body !!

[@JackSpaulding1984]

They ask questions before they move you. I have been in this situation a few times and have had 4 totaled accidents and ambulance response to 2 and was injured and they asses the situation based on their training. so they won’t just go move you with broken neck back or limbs unless your car is in danger of explosion and has caught fire; then the risk is assets, right!

[@JackSpaulding1984]

Here in CA specifically Los Angeles people cannot drive and thank God for AAA!

[@Alex10daysago]

Looks like two drunks to me.

[@sharlawilliamson9609]

I think they are both older.... And one thing about older folks, it that back when they got their license.... when they had to walk uphill both ways in 5 feet of snow to the MOT, they didn't have to look in their blindspot.

[@musselmanmedia5236]

swear its always older people

[@dottieocaspianhorsesrock3643]

Sam Musselman I know every street racing crash and the majority at 3:00am always old people. Wth🙄

[@ryant282a]

Apparently, you don't watch this channel often. It's mostly young people causing horrific accidents.
