Freak Accident Calls For Further Investigation | Accident Investigator | Real Responders

[@ritamoore8346]

My no,1 piece of advice at a red light is before you take off at the green look both directions to make sure all approaching cars are stopped or stopping. Green lights don't make you safe being observant of others on the road keeps you safe.

Tell my 19 yr. old that all the time. I see people run red lights every day...

Wear a seatbelt, and refuse to ride with anyone who doesn't use one. Cliche but true: it can save your life!

[@nancyleddige6997]

In Montana, there were ads about wearing a seatbelt. A grandfather and his granddaughter went for a ride in winter. The girl had a seatbelt on, but the grandfather did not. He hit a patch of ice and lost control. The granddaughter survived the crash itself, but she was killed because the grandfather was thrown around because he did not have a seatbelt on, and he hit the poor girl causing her to die.The ad was based on a true story.

[@alphanova2799]

[@SapphirasMama]

Sadly, the sentence was made lighter because the other driver was also impaired and he pled guilty (which may have led to a lower charge such as negligent driving causing death or similar charge). Combining that the sentence is made lighter.

[@jealousbackpack_2.0]

Only one victim. It was the 2 year old. The other drunk knew they were both drunk and should of never gotten in the car. The parents were stupid as fuck for not buckling their baby in the car seat. They wanted to wait until driving so far before crashing to buckle that baby in. Nah fuck that. There's only one victim that lost their lives that day.

[@brittanymyers6124]

Actually, depending if the drunk driver has a record or not, if he didn’t have a record then that sentence does fit. As sad as that is to say, the justice system is very fucked up in the United States. But the other driver was also impaired by doing math, so at the end of the day they were both at fault however way you look at it whether he ran the light or not neither of them should have been behind the wheel of a car. The baby was the only innocent one And depending on when the accident happened, car seats were different back in the day and some children could unbuckle themselves. That is why the mom was turned around and unbuckled because she was going to fix the baby who was not in the car seat properly which by unbuckling her self, she made a bad decision that ultimately killed her and her child

[@williamsquires3070]

The problem is that if the SUV driver had swerved to the left to avoid the motorcycle (especially on a curve), he would have ended up going the wrong way in the opposing lane(s) of traffic, and - unable to see around the curvature of the road - could have had a frontal collision with another vehicle. Worse, it’s at night, and a motorcycle can look like an ordinary motor vehicle with one burnt-out headlamp... until you’re right on top of it. I believe even a professional driver would have a hard time avoiding this collision once the bike went down and skidded into its path.

Motorcycle Tyres. Looking at the tyres in the video, you will see that they are BRAND NEW All tyres are treated with a substance which makes them look "polished".This is a preservative for the rubber when stored before being sold/used. They also have the little "wear" bobbles on them. (I always called them whiskers) When buying new tyres the salesman will tell you to stay at a slowish speed for at least 100 miles. This will get the tyres scrubbed in and safer to go a bit fast..As it happens, that type of motorbike is NOT designed to "lean" into corners/bends. There is very little space between the undercarriage of the bike and the road. Probably 6-8 inches at a guess? As a matter of interest, the contact area of a tyre on the road is no larger than the sole part of a shoe/boot.(Hopefully a boot!) Unless it was proven that the tyres had actually been treated with a substance by the rider to make them look shiny, I don't believe that they were.

When there is an aviation accident, there is a long investigation to find out exactly what happened. Once the cause is found, the NTSB makes recommendations for changes in the laws that govern aviation, in the hope of preventing the cause of that kind of accident. If those changes are made aviation becomes that much safer. Changes have been made in pilot training, aircraft design and maintenance, how air traffic is managed on the ground and in the air. As a result, something that is, on the face of it very dangerous (hurtling through the air at hundreds of miles per hour) is in fact, the safest way to travel. We could do the same for driving, but we hardly ever do. What is the point of investigating traffic accidents if we won't make changes to the law to make driving safer? Granted, if those changes are made, 15%-20% of driver will no longer be able to qualify for a driver's license, but these are the worst 20% of drivers out there. Do you *REALLY* want to keep letting them drive? I'm talking about those people who text while driving, drive drunk, or fly into a rage because someone cut them off.

[@inkyguy]

Eric Taylor, unlike air accidents, most road accidents are caused by operator error. Since most drivers (something like 80%) consider themselves to be above average drivers, whch is a statistical and logical impossibility, I suspect there is no political will to implement the kind of road safety and vehicle training to make a difference in operator behavior. You can’t even get Americans to agree to be required to carry health insurance so everyone can be insured. There is virtually no way citizens would tolerate a regulatory regime that would improve road safety.

[@erictaylor5462]

@@inkyguy "unlike air accidents, most road accidents are caused by operator error." I think you meant "like" not unlike. Most air accidents are caused by pilot error as well.

[@WildWombats]

To be absolutely fair, they HAVE done certain things to combat drunk driving / texting while driving, maybe not so much road rage yet but the other two absolutely. The changes weren't implemented via requiring certain new things - because HOW can additional training / laws really prevent this? It simply can't without so much intrusion that it's not worth it. They have added texting and driving laws in nearly every state, and in VA it is illegal to even hold your phone while driving with a few exceptions (mostly GPS-related). But what they HAVE done is educate and focus on these issues. When drunk driving crashes spiked, we began advertising TV commercials, putting the dangers of drunk driving in education classes, and more, it's all over, and in turn, drunk driving crashes began to go down. They are doing the same thing with texting and driving - signs are everywhere, it's advertised not to do it, and they hammer it in your head not to do it in schools. As such, the rates have went down.

[@WildWombats]

@@erictaylor5462 I disagree with that very strongly... Weather is literally to blame in many airplane crashes. Arguably, you could put the blame on the pilot for deciding to fly that day....but hindsight 20/20, it's easy to go back on somebody's decision and say "Well he shouldn't have flown that day" after it's all said and done, but he obviously felt at the time that it was safe enough to go, for example. The fact is, mistakes happen and are part of human nature - and all of nature, because NOTHING is perfect. To dismiss something as an accident simply because 100% of everything was not perfect, to me, is a bit unfair, because not even a machine could live up to those standards. Accidents DO happen, even when mistakes are involved, because humans ARE prone to mistakes. And when you're talking about making a split-moment judgment call where you only get a few seconds to decide the fate of your life or potentially others...That's quite unfair to say "Well they should have done the RIGHT thing and turned LEFT instead or RIGHT" when, under that kind of pressure, some people would just freeze entirely... Personally, I think intention is what decides if it's an accident. Did they INTEND to crash? If so, then no, it's not an accident. But if it's not intended, then it's an accident. Otherwise, what do you call a car crash / plane crash? It certainly isn't a kamikaze. The reason we call it an accident even when a human makes a mistake that could be preventable is because we UNDERSTAND that humans are flawed and it's IMPOSSIBLE no matter how much you try to be perfect in every way. To say "no such thing as an accident" - I could only agree with that statement if Humans were *normally* perfect 24/7 - but the fact is, humans are NOT normally perfect, we are imperfect and we make wrong calls and have lapses in judgment - it's the human condition, but really, it affects everything and everyone, because nothing is perfect.

@@WildWombats "they HAVE done certain things to combat drunk driving / texting while driving, maybe not so much road rage yet but the other two absolutely." After the Titanic struck the ice burg they did something about the ship flooding. They turned on pumps to full power and closed doors isolating the flooding sections of the ship. But this was not enough to prevent the ship sinking. Granted, they could not have done more at the time, but after that disaster, they did do more. They improved ship design to prevent over topping of the water tight compartments, and they added more pumps. In addition, they changed the laws requiring enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew. "The changes weren't implemented via requiring certain new things - because HOW can additional training / laws really prevent this? It simply can't without so much intrusion that it's not worth it." Yes, they are. There is a lot more that can be done. First, improve driver training. Require new drivers to receive training from professional teachers. This will prevent parents teaching their kids their own bad habits. On top of this, require practical driving tests even for experienced drivers to spot and correct bad habits. Next, improve the laws to revoke the license of the worst drivers. Make the drunk driving laws much more harsh to keep drunk drivers off the road permanently. This woman got 10 years in prison for her *SECOND* serious drunk driving accident where 2 people were left permanently disabled. In her first accident she *KILLED* someone and got only 2 years. If she had gotten 10 years for the first accident *AND* was never allowed to drive again, those two people would not have been hurt. How can that not be worth it? Accidents are going to happen. That is just a fact of life, but most accident can be prevented if more care is taken. It doesn't matter if you intended to crash if you are being careless or reckless. I'm sure this woman didn't intend to crash, but she certainly intended to drink and drive, and that is why she is guilty of a crime.

I'm not sure I agree with the "definitive" findings on the first one. The green light was green when the bulb was broken. However, it must have taken at least 2-3 seconds (perhaps more) for the collision to occur, the car to be pushed into the pole, and the top of the pole to fall to the ground and break. That makes it possible that the drunk driver actually entered the intersection when his light was yellow, or possibly even green depending on the length of the yellow at that intersection. I have seen MANY drivers "time" their entry into an intersection for the instant their light turns green, which is extremely dangerous, because it means you can be entering an intersection at 25-30 mph (just like the father), at the same time a car in the cross-traffic direction is in the intersection trying to beat the yellow. If you mis-time it (which is quite possible when driving sober, much less impaired), you might actually enter a split second before it actually turns green. In the situation in the video, Alex Rogers could actually have entered the intersection on the red, while Lowery had the yellow. However, by the time the collision occurred, the car was pushed into the pole, and the pole fell all the way to the ground, the light had turned to green. There's no excuse for driving drunk, and I'm glad Lowery faced punishment, but it's possible that it happened that way.

@@SuperTamig preventable on one person's end... not preventable on another... thus an accident. Let's say you've got a seat belt on, you're going to the speed limit, you're doing EVERYTHING Right that the strictest driving instructor would say everything is fine. However, another car blazes through a red light as you're passing your green light and you're struck. While yes, the man who blazed through the red light had a driver error... It was totally and completely unavoidable for the driver who properly ran the green light and they did nothing wrong. On their end, surely you must consider it an accident, even if you consider the man who ran the red light not to be. further... we are humans, not machines, we're not perfect and we make mistakes, and even if we were machines, we'd still make mistakes because NOTHING in this world is perfect. To say "it's preventable" I think that's simply not true in every single situation - we are prone to errors, this is human nature, to write that off as not being an accident because you expect total perfection at all times 24/7 during everybody's life is just insane. The reason it's an accident is because we understand nothing and nobody is perfect, and unless you're actively seeking to crash your car into something or someone, it's an accident.... Nobody goes out saying "Oh boy, I can't wait to crash my car!!!" If it's not accidental, then it's intentional, and I guarantee you most of these crashes are not intentional. So I find that simply incorrect. Accidents DO happen. And you CAN make a mistake / have a driver error and it still be an accident - because intentions mean everything. All you get is a few seconds to react sometimes (or less) - and you're saying because they couldn't immediately identify the best way to handle the situation in a high-stress situation, that it was avoidable had they done something else in those last few seconds? It's easier to say that in hindsight. When you're in the moment, it seemed like the best or only option to you at the time.

I was taught that the rear center seat is the safest place for a properly restrained child seat to be installed. Perhaps it has been updated to rear passenger side more recently as my kiddos are all teens now. Just wanted to comment in the very slight possibility that it could help save a little one. ☹️🥺😭😭😭

[@denisemetzger305]

@@stephaniebristow8937 I had my kids in the 90s and was told that not only are the rear passenger or driver seat safer, in some states it is/was illegal to put a car seat in the middle seat because the middle seat is completely open to the child being able to be more easily ejected through the windshield.

In the last incident, I thought I was hearing things, but nope, the narrator repeats “ASH-fault.” 🙉

[@elizabethclover4]

I heard that too. 😆

[@marciawilheim3201]

@@elizabethclover4 I think it's an Upper Midwest thing. Had a friend from Michigan who said it the same way.

[@elizabethclover4]

@@marciawilheim3201 After reading your reply, it sparked a memory. I have heard it pronounced 'ash-fault' when we visited my cousins in Minnesota years ago. I remembered thinking that they were mispronouncing it but didn't want to say anything to hurt their feelings back then. 😆 I just looked it up and read where it was a common pronunciation in some parts of Canada and regions nearby.

[@aardvark1956]

He says it in other videos too.

[@samantharay9116]

Yeah, it really bothers me to hear the mispronunciation of “asphalt”.

Has anyone else noticed that the white Ford Mustang at the start magically became, what looks to be, a Mitsubishi Eclipse or Pontiac GTO after the wreck?

[@tennisontower8003]

I think the crash pictures are the actual scene, with pics of the actual car that crashed. The car you see driving in scenes before hand, during their demonstration video, are just another car that is close enough. Instead of spending forever finding the exact model car, they just get a similar color and shape car to act in the place of the actual car. They likely don't actually crash that car either, just pretend. They do crash cars, but the ones they crash are in the large empty lot, during day time, with monitoring equipment.

I work for motorcycle shops I worked on all my own motorcycles for years and still do I had my own motorcycle shop in Florida and my biggest thing to my customers with safety and tires you would be amazed at what people did to their motorcycles that were completely safe when they first got them to make them unsafe unknowingly would it look cool and bald tires was the number one problem they wouldn't save enough money to buy $100 Tire and have it mounted for 35 bucks depending on the size of the bike and the tire. People do the same thing today as they did 10 years ago and they still don't learn or don't want to listen. I've seen people get on a motorcycle for the first time right after buying it right on the premises of the store and got killed because I lost control of the motorcycle they had no experience and panicked and ended up dead right in front of everyone. That's why I'm glad in some states it's mandatory to go to a motorcycle school which is taught by professionals. I take courses myself could not get rusty or over-confident on how I ride my motorcycle and my equipment safety comes first"

[@forrestfey]

I am sorry to hear that there are places where you can drive a motorcycle without a special motorcycle driving licence. That is mandatory in my country. Education and testing makes a differens.

8 years in prison for 4 lives???

[@tookitogo]

XTrayX Bulk discount, I guess! :/

[@WildWombats]

They said the sentence was lower due to the fact both of them were intoxicated during driving. Sadly, as a drunk driver, you're more likely to survive than everyone else and it always seems that the people who were drunk tend to survive, while everybody else dies. Tragic how that is.... it is because when you're drunk your body is more relaxed and loose and when you're sober, your muscles tighten up upon the crash and it worsens the damage. Being loose and relaxed is actually lifesaving, which is a tragedy that the drunk drivers are the ones who usually escape these situations alive. I think drunk driving should be taken more seriously than it is. He should have served longer though still...

[@ladylucifer5044]

With some math that's 2 years in prison for each person.

[@cynicannkeel8899]

From the day an infant leaves the hospital, or takes it's first ride in a vehicle, the child needs to be restrained in an accredited car seat for a body it's size, weight. When a child is told, and understands any vehicle they're in won't move until they're safely buckled into their car seat.

[@kelleybrown1666]

Unluckily, the careless drunk driver is almost always the only survivor.

[@paulmoore7379]

If you're wearing a seatbelt, or not, your internal organs still have to come to the same stop. Obviously you won't get thrown out or smash the dashboard but the internal damage still happens.

He did not commit suicide - He was coaxed into it and once he stood on the ledge, not completely committed to the act, the caller pushed him and then made the hit and run call. It was a friend, or so called friend of the victim.

[@georgepawlak6806]

Another thing to think about is when you go for a driver's test or you go to a school especially CDL you're taught to steer away from oncoming traffic and unfortunately for the bike rider the van turned in the same path to keep from hitting someone had on it's a natural reaction like you look to your left before you look to your right which I see a lot of people doing the opposite and they end up in a fatal Collision because I get hit in the driver's door and it kills the driver instantly because they looked to the right first rather than to their left first which is taught in driving school and is in every book you can get from DMV before you take the test.

How does the system work in the US for drink driving and speeding, do you just get fined. In the UK we have a points system, unfortunately points don't mean prizes as you can lose your license.

[@katlyndill1265]

The US has a point system also. Depending on what you're pulled over for you can get a ticket and have to pay a fine, or if it's severe like driving under the influence, you'll get a fine and jail time, and lose your driver's license.

[@alexisortiz952]

There were plenty of nights or even days during my party years that I way overspent so much so I couldn't even afford a lyft or uber to get home that occurence. Regardless, thank the heavens if I was at a house I had a couch to sleep it off on. Or at a bar, they give it a couple days before ticketing or towing your car for abandonment. Plenty of times I'd text someone sober so they knew where I was, and if no one could get me I'd simply hop in the passenger seat or back seat to avoid DUI and SLEPT IT OFF and i mean several hours not an hour drunk nap until I needed to pee. Not my most glorious moments. And I've been to rehab since then. But damn, there is zero excuse. Especially with the involvement of a child who can't even advocate for themselves with full understanding of the situation.

Traci's Tube It depends on the type of car you have, and the type of baby seat. The middle seat is the safest.
