Nasty FedEx Truck Accident Caught On Tape

[@xaenon]

I lived in Cincinnati (not far from Erlanger) at the time, and I remember this. What isn't mentioned is the fact that it wasn't just rain, it was sleet, and the roads were icing up rapidly. You can even kind of see this in the video when the driving officer gets out of the car and has to walk very carefully to avoid slipping. The whole area at the time was a giant accident zone. The problem was, relatively few people were aware of the icing conditions, and only discovering how slick the roads really were AFTER it was already too late. Of course, in that area, the knowledge of 'treacherous conditions' does little to slow anyone down, and that stretch of road is VERY busy even at the best of times. In short, I have some sympathy for the truck driver. It may not have been entirely his fault. And I'm glad nobody was seriously hurt.

[@xaenon]

Like I said, in instance of this video, the roads started icing up before people realized it. You'd get into your car, and it was just rain. By the time you got to the freeway it was a skating rink. And there is always that breed of driver who just shrugs, turns the cruise control on at 70 mph, and then has no clue whatsoever why he is upside down in a ditch.

[@xaenon]

***** YOU do. I do. Most people don't. It's exactly why they tell everyone to be extra careful in the first 10 minutes of a rain storm, because not only is the rain stirring up all the oil and shit from the road surface, but 95 percent of the population is oblivious to the fact that rain, snow, and ice make the road surface slick.

[@xaenon]

***** I should amend my statement; I was wrong to say MOST drivers are oblivious. Most drivers probably are decent enough behind the wheel; but there is a fairly large group of people who just don't have common sense, and they muck it up for everyone else.

When you order a package with 1 hour delivery service, Fifty-nine minutes later, 0:30

[@EvanLevow]

It looks like the driver was driving too fast for conditions and perhaps wasn't paying attention.

[@mindlessgonzo]

Fedex: For when it absolutely, positively have to be there overnight, even if it's busted up with chunks of highway cop car and red Pontiac sedan in it.

[@bg048]

No wonder my package never came.

[@MrRobloMan]

It was the 14th day of February 2007, I found my brand new Blackberry Pearl in it's package. It was crushed and the screen was cracked with the battery leaking. This explains everything.

[@rusva3755]

Did it have tiny chunks of FedEx truck, highway cop car, and red Sedan to go along with it?

[@stefanie_m466]

you can see the first trailer 2 foot in the air when it crashes , man that truck passes sideways the police car , amazing awsome crash

[@ultrakool]

so this explains why my package came late and crushed

[@TSAVVVV]

But will it blend??

[@c216mohl]

@thehellorhys I do drive a truck...rocky mtn doubles infact...When I see flashing lights ahead, I don't wait until the last minute to try and slow down...especially when the weather is bad. I have been forced over on the shoulder several times by FedEx drivers going too fast around curves by Promontory, UT that are posted at 45 mph. I appreciate the the adult words in the way you respond...Oh, by the way, I have been driving truck now for just of 17 years...ACCIDENT FREE.

[@kevinc.8869]

It's ok, he was just delivering a package.

[@bbruinz]

been driving the Mass Pike for 18 years. I always see Fed Ex drivers speeding ALWAYS this is what happens when companies pay by the mile, or by the trip!!!!!

[@c216mohl]

@thehellorhys Thank you. Have a great day, and be safe out on the road.

[@KiloByte69]

I'd hate to have that driver's DAC report after that.

[@africasteele124]

[@ryan93280]

1. driver was speeding on snow. 2. driver driving in illegal lane for semi truck.

[@Buikpijn999]

ouch charlie!

[@turkeybeach8444]

Yikes that looks scary

[@ultrakool]

when it absolutely, positively has to be there...next month?

[@muffin1820]

This is why I'm scared of driving near trucks.

[@Kiddro22]

This what happens when u don't run with a C.B radio...point blank!

[@rainor771]

FedEx drivers are forced to drive too fast. Those tractor trailers are full to the brim with packages, tens of thousands of dollars worth, and if the driver doesn't make it to the airport/plant on time, he will likely be fired. It's an unfortunate system, but blame the company, not the driver.

[@charlieberry282]

+Rainor BS son, the trucks are governed and usually have layovers at terminals anyway, why lie? Serious why the hell do you lie?

[@Pro-RTen]

+Charlie Berry My truck's not governed. I could do 100 mph if I kept the pedal to the ground. And I contract with Fedex Ground hauling doubles. Most of UPS and Fedex trucks are not governed. But Fedex gives plenty of time to deliver trailers, they usually figure times based on a average speed of 47 mph. Fedex is actually really big on safety. Can't comment on their LTL stuff though (Fedex Freight).

[@charlieberry282]

FedEx Freight are governed, 65

[@throttlethumb150]

you have no idea what you are talking about that was a FedEx freight truck not a package hauler. We are not force to run and all freight trucks are governed at 65mph. Safety is top priority with management and drivers damn near run this place. People like you spreading misinformation is partially why the general public has unfavorable views on this industry

[@ricfiguero]

Throttlethumb 150 that's right, tell him 👍

[@jacobfain9]

is this what there fast shipping is like gosh no wonder my package was broken

[@joevil2025]

we seriously need to restrict travel speeds during icey conditions, if he had been driving below 30 this wouldn't have happened, that should be the mad speed ANYONE travels on icy roads

[@larayaglsd]

How did this get into my recommendation?

[@IronManXXX]

No wonder my parcels were late getting here..

[@samfisher20041]

god job, fed ex! at least you turned the car so that we can see everything!

[@DeeCuriousCat]

Were the people in the red car OK?

[@c216mohl]

@thehellorhys One other thing...I do beleive that MOST truck drivers are better drivers, BUT FedEx has had A LOT of bad wreck as of late because of drivers being in too big of a hurry, and probably having too little experience behind the wheel.

[@dugierex]

What ? the...You weren't using the " Smith System" wake up

[@ItsRobert1]

That doesnt mean the driver is an idiot. Just not paying attension at the time.

[@cantmesswithgermany]

IM HOPING THAT WASNT MY BROKEN COMPUTER SCREEN I RECEIVED

[@DrunkTr33]

Now thats how you advertise!

[@c216mohl]

Typical FedEx Driver...FedEx has really lowered their standards on what they will allow behind the wheel. I drive truck, and I cannot tell you how many BAD FedEx drivers there are...

[@Teamunicorn4]

Their was a FedEx truck in my neighborhood and my friend saw the guy get out of the truck and put on a mask and chase my friend

[@cybermoss1]

actually its not fed ex fault. look at the video closely apparently noone knows that the cop is in the lane. there should have been flares out in front of the patrol car warning on coming traffic that a accident had happen but the cop is sitting in his car. not securing the scene.

[@DavidCurryFilms]

Did NOT see that coming :(

[@golfmaniac007]

guess those packages won't make it overnight

[@Jackle61]

Hard to say,,, I'm thinking that red car was doing something stupid.

[@ttjoslin]

Holy Cow!!!!

[@Marcos7243ssr]

look at what happend in texas yesterday and a fedex truck is in the wreck

[@Autophysn]

@bkpigs no, but appeared he was going way too fast in the rain. Poor guy most likely lost his job. Rightfully so tho, not taking extra precaution in the rain....

[@jeffbaumann3289]

To those defending FedEx and their drivers, stop making excuses for them. A professional driver shuts down when road conditions are dangerous, they don't keep on driving putting themselves and the motoring public at risk. No load is worth it, and it won't fly in a court case involving millions of dollars. Consider this: an investigation was conducted earlier this year and it was determined that FedEx was involved in over 700 crashes in 2016 ALONE!! This came from a woman that Dave Nemo from SiriusXM Road Dog Trucking was interviewing. Some were due to 4 wheelers, but most were driving while fatigued, and driving during hazardous road conditions. Also, it has come to light that there is indeed pressure from upper management to drive and get the load through, regardless of the weather. Upper management's position is that if the state snowplows can get through and keep the roads open, their trucks can get through and there's no reason their trucks should shutdown. I happened to be just North of Toledo, in lower Michigan when this crash happened and when the local news anchors in Toledo were reporting this, the disgust on their faces was obvious.

[@dillsimmons]

yikes....

[@tillamookice]

Now thanks Fed Ex Express. Nothing is gonna slow this driver down. Hope everyone was alright tho

[@CowboyJR1982]

Fedex are the worst, UPS isnt far behind. I can distinctly remember being passed by a Fedex double, on I-80, there was a whole line of us trucks going about 30, due to slick roads...and fedex went by us at about 55...needless to say, we passed him in the ditch about 1/2 mile up the road. Fedex drivers are stupid.

[@df0x1977]

@cybermoss1 You're 100% right on the money there! People in general are ignorant ass faces. Driving truck is extremely dangerous in and of itself let alone driving triple combination set ups. The cop in all honesty was taking too much time calming down the previous idiot who lost control of freaking regular non-commercial sized vehicle instead of securing the accident with flares on a dark bad weather night. To be a little fair though that semi was travelling a bit fast for the weather.

[@DavidCurryFilms]

@tknight19 no, delivered BANG on the dot! ;P
