I'm a truck driver for 20 years now and have been back and forth on I-80 in Pennsylvania. During the winter months on occasion you have what's called "whiteouts" due to snow and mountain effect. When this happens visibility plummets and the road becomes slippery. This is what happened here and this is always the end result!!😖

[@2Fast4Mellow]

I grew up in Europe and I got lucky I got a very good driving instructor. He told what to do in a whiteout situation: half your speed, quadruple your distance and be patient (take your time). If something happens, you let the car pretty much roll out with very light breaking near the end. If you feel the cars is (about) to slide, release the breaks. He told it often is the (heavy) braking that causes cars to brake out. Also when you're in a low visibility situation and you suddenly come to a stop. Don't stay in your car, get out and wait behind the barrier... Ironically we were back in Europe to visit my mother just before Christmas. We were suppose to fly back on the 23th, but due the Eastern winter storm flights were cancelled and now I and my girlfriend are stranded in Europe with my brother and our kids are still staying with my in-laws... Not the Christmas I had in mind ;-(

[@Spitfirethedragon]

I have seen so many videos of pileups on I80. and most of them in Wyoming. I seen ones where it actually happened as mainly semis speeding on the icy road with little visibilities plowing right into the wreck one after the other. There were some of the truck drivers did slow down and stopped from getting involved who were being careful, but then they get rear ended by the other trucks who were speeding. I read from other truckers who retired from driving said that a lot of these major trucking companies don't allow CB radios, hiring drivers whose English is not their only language and the drivers have not enough training. It is one of the main reasons why they retire. Another is to get the load on time, and that they have to rush to get from one point to another. That is why we are seeing more of this today than ever before.

[@offgridcabin1557]

Thank You Shenanigans for the video. This teaches new drivers much better than just telling them what can happen in the schools or over coffee at the truck stops. I spent 47 years on the road with just two accidents none of which were my fault. I was hit twice by drivers in semi's speeding. One just like this accident where the traffic had stopped due to another accident and a speeding semi reported to be driving 80+ Mph in a 60 zone for trucks ran into me from the back. He had switched lanes from fast to slow lane and said his phone rang and he dropped it, bent over to pick it up, and never saw the traffic stop. I was halfway up the side of a 53-foot box truck so the accident driver never saw me stopped. It was like an explosion from an IED. Broke my back, fractured 7 ribs, collar bone, and both knees. That was the end of my career. All because of a negligent driver from Canada. I hope this video teaches younger (and some older) drivers to always watch out, run their CB radio, and drive the SPEED LIMIT! my health and safety isn't worth your speeding to be on time.

I was driving in Nevada just outside of Elko and before we hit the mountains a black Pete or KW went sailing by me he had to be doing over a 100, now the speed limit is 80 out there my truck was governed at 75. As we enter into the mountains we hit real bad snow squalls and I am past the only point to put chains on, it is coming so hard the road is completely covered and I can't tell where the edge's of the road are so I am riding in the middle of the two lanes so I can feel the crown of the road, there was no one out on the HWY outside myself and the other big rig. I have my widow down my seatbelt off so I can grab the windshield wiper and have it smack against the windshield to get the snow off of it so it will clear the windshield there is ZERO shoulder out there so pulling off to the side is not possible. As I come down the last hill there is the black truck off the road and he had to be doing what I was doing to clear his windshield and his truck got away from him, he went down into a ditch did a complete roll over and ended up on his wheels but had fallen half way out the window and his truck rolled over him and he was hanging half way out, the police had just got there and was getting the yellow tarp out to cover him.. I got off the next exit 303 and grabbed a hotel for the night, that was enough for me. I am now retired and I have to say I don't miss diving AT ALL.

[@helmedon]

Only seen conditions this crazy once. About 15 years ago we were moving from the Flint area in Michigan up to the West branch area. Making several trips moving things. On a trip back down I was driving the moving van and my wife was driving our F150 4x4 following behind me. The snow was so thick we couldn't see each other very well, snowing and blowing. My wife had moved her right tires off the road a bit to get better traction. A semi driver came from behind and side swiped her, taking the mirror off. These were the old truck mirrors that stood out from the truck. He was going pretty fast for the conditions. I actually saw him pass my wife, then he overtook me, but I couldn't see what happened. I though he passed and startled her because she jerked to the right. I thought at the time that he came really close to her. No, we stopped at a rest stop, as i wanted to check on her and she explained what happened. The semi never stopped. He may not have even ever seen her. Although it was a big blue extended cab Ford with a high topper. He had to have heard or felt himself hitting her. She must have been over to the right more than she thought and it happened on a curve but the semi looked to have never seen her. It was day time and we had our lights on. My truck had amber lights on top of the cab as well. Scared the hell out of my wife. There was another time I was a teenager driving my 1970 Monte Carlo, entering US-23 (we lived on a road alongside, witnessed many crashes) when I hit some black ice just as I was accelerating. Started spinning a few 360s while seeing a big truck bearing down on me from behind. Thankfully I spun into a ditch and nothing hit me. Had to get pulled out and no damage, but it could have been bad.

[@Shenanigans3D]

Glad that your family was safe. I'm sure the semi driver was aware. Unfortunately there are semi drivers that are unsafe and we all deal with them. Personally I think half of them need to be removed from the highways but that's another story. Michigan storms are crazy. I came down 31 from Manistee about 15yrs ago and hit one of those MI storms. It went from dry roads to several inches in what seemed like minutes. It was all I could do to get to a truckstop. It took 3 days till I could get moving again.

Last winter I was driving a 4 x 4 Expatiation down 35 W clear and the was sun shining and Bam I was only going 40 Mph and I did a 360 and landed in the middle of the freeway and nine vehicles hit the same ice and flew in the ditch with a van rolling over on its top. Thankfully no injuries but minors for some of us. The moral of the story no matter how safe you think you are driving ice can be under your vehicle. If I had slowed down to 25 or 30 Mph I might not have done my 360 because that's what I drove away doing after I got pulled out and $150 later.

You have a very valid point and I ask that same question myself. People are just not focused on driving any more. Too much distractions and too much relying on vehicle technology with a bit of "it can't happen to me attitude". Of course this is all an opinion of mine but I feel that most younger drivers just don't have the chance of ANY type of driving till they are 16. Once they get their permit, they only focus on making the required hrs to get their license then off they go. Hell I started driving when I could reach the pedals and I'm quite confident in saying that you probably did too. Then we have these new age truck drivers.... yeah not going to even go there. This accident ended up being 3x larger than what I originally posted. With it being local to me it was all over the news for several days after I uploaded. Most of it was preventable. It stared as a snow squall and two cars just came to a dead stop. Lack of visibility, distractions, speeding, tailgating and lack of experience lead to the rest.

@@71torinoman hope you get moving soon. This video happens to be the last time that I drove a truck, (Surgical reasons). Tomorrow I'm back behind the wheel and already thinking about the lunatics.

This is why you get the hell off the damn road during bad weather oh, why you get off the damn road. There is no load worth driving that extra mile to miles three miles but you people you think you need to keep driving and driving and driving. March 2nd would be 34 years of driving for me I'm accident-free. I don't risk it I will not risk it I have a lot of late loads, but I'm not going to be involved in no damn accident.

Been driving for 28 years, never hauled a load that was worth more then my life or anyone else,s life .

[@Shenanigans3D]

Exactly.. this one ended up being 4wheelers hit a whiteout and came to a complete stop on the highway. We all know the rest. It's a known spot for these.

Wish the youth saw more of this so they know speed in weather kills

[@Erin-Thor]

Youth? Everyone! The best drivers safety class (got a ticket) I’ve ever taken was given by an old former Sheriff, he plopped a portable file cabinet down and ask if anyone was queasy at the sight of blood, 2 people stood up and he let them go. Then he handed out the folders, each was a fatal accident, and he quickly marked up an overhead projector sheet as he described each one, and WE had to determine fault. Changed my mindset about driving.

[@Shenanigans3D]

They did that with us in drivers-ED back in high school. Hell, that was 27yrs ago. Wonder if they still do?

[@Erin-Thor]

@@Shenanigans3D - I got the ticket in Texas, so the class was in Dallas. Yes, it was a “Drivers Safety Class” to get your ticket cancelled. All were adults, well I am questionable... Every folder was a lesson in why you should “pick a safe driver trait” all the time. I can remember one woman who said she flipped off a driver who was tailgating her, as they passed her. An exit of two later the same car came from behind her and honked and flipped her off out the window. She shrugged it off. When she arrived at her house her child in the back seat, in a safety seat had bled to death from a single shot she never heard.

[@Shenanigans3D]

That's crazy. Two similar incidents recently happened like that. Seen it on the national news. I just don't understand some people when they get behind the wheel.

[@Erin-Thor]

@@Shenanigans3D - It sounds weird to say “Good Class,” but it was. When you see the effects of driving aggressively, driving fast, allowing emotion to enter a situation which needs you to be calm and level headed, that Sheriff drove that point home eloquently.

[@jimmyhamm6041]

Looks to me like everyone was tailgating one another as close as they are together down this hill. And truckers too.

[@Shenanigans3D]

I'm pretty sure that was most of the case.

[@robertesposito9871]

Pa. Wouldn’t do anything until the road was closed with accidents, and that hill wasn’t nothing to screw with

[@scottcampbell2585]

Direct result of ZERO traffic enforcement!!!! The tailgating has got to stop!!!

[@uk2mama]

Sorry to say but this is what freaks me out when driving . Big Rigs can seriously kill people. Its not just people in cars that drive crazy. Here in Wa our big rig drivers can be crazy drivers especially in the rain. I have had one come speeding up on me and I was going 70 in light rain and in the middle lane. Why would he need to do that and then pass me on the left. I wish we didnt have to have so many on the road.

Thank you for the comment. I can't argue about my speed. I was driving within my comfort zone. About 2 miles after the video the roads dried up.

[@skitzochik]

grind them gears!

[@Shenanigans3D]

Lol... it's the cb squelch. At the time of this recording it was a problematic automatic. Every time it would shift it dimmed my lights and caused groundloops. Last month dropped a super 10 into it. Man what a pain that was. This video was my last trip with it till my injury is healed. It's been parked since.

Bad wreck but u grinding those gears makes it so much worse

[@Shenanigans3D]

It's an automatic. That "grinding" is my cb squelch every time it shifts.

[@justhere9412]

@@Shenanigans3D really I drove an automatic for a few years and it has never sounded like that under any circumstances.! I've been driving on & off sense 1979.!

[@Shenanigans3D]

Of course it never sounded like that.. BECAUSE IT'S MY CB. Every time the shift solenoid activates it trips my squelch on the cb. Now i keep my squelch dang near open to where crossing bridges will trigger it to open. I have, well had what's known as a ground loop problem. Driving since 79 I'm sure you know what that is. This started when I was having problems with the ecu on the ol'cat. Replace that but it continued, went thru 2 harnesses and several actuators. Replaced the 2 shift solenoids and trans harness but problems got worse. Did a complete out of frame overhaul and a new trans top plate. Still had problems but this time shifting started locking up and my overhead display console started lighting up when it shifted. I got fed up with it and dropped a 10spd manual in it off of a wrecked prostar. This video was recorded on the last day it was driven as an automatic. About 30mins after the ending of the video, the ol'girl was parked in the garage for the swap. I'm really not understanding how people can't tell static from grinding. I'm guessing the grinding comments are from people that don't or have never use cb's. Who knows!? Anyway.. best to you and your family. Happy holidays, be safe, take care.
