Horrible Fatal Wrong Way Crash | Houston

[@gamozzie]

The worst thing about situations like this is that usually the innocent drivers and passengers are the ones that lose their lives.

[@bourbon.36]

It's because most wrong way drivers are under the influence of something and they are more relaxed when the accident happens because they aren't really aware of their surroundings or the danger that lies ahead them; where as the innocent driver will see the threat and tense up when they brace for impact.

[@emanuelbeavers6575]

It’s also because us the living aren’t through with them.

One of my friends was a firefighter and he said that the saddest thing was going to a fatal accident and Xmas presents all over the road and both parents killed by an intoxicated driver, when he retired he needed a bit of therapy to try and cope with the images that kept him awake at night, when working he said you put it to the back of your mind but when you got home then it began the nightmares, dui drivers should never get their licenses back and any fatalities should be at least a minimum of 20 years

yeah, my father was first a Fire Fighter and then became Paramedic. He did it for 46 years. He was alcoholic before he had reached his 40's and when he retired he drank himself to death. Nobody should ever have to carry the images they do. For him, the worst was 'Cot Death' cases. What can you say? The baby is blue grey and stone cold, but you are going to try, the parents are standing watching... I remember back in the '70's, him stopping at home with the ambulance to get some buckets because some hippie on acid had tried to stop the train that passed near our home, Superman stylee.. you kind of remember sh!t like that as a kid... His job messed up our lives, but even though our family all went through hell, we are all so damned proud of him.

But I came to realize most people are like yourself and really do care !

[@rba5567]

@@jimrossi7708 I find people often use jokes to deal with pain. They may joke until they're ready to realize the impact. I believe it's some sort of self-preservation method until they are properly able to process trauma. Everyday I pray to God to watch over not only my family and friends but teachers and even enemies. Granted enemies take a little bit more effort but at the end of the day it's our ability to be compassionate to one another that makes us human. I think when people get mad it's because of others being stupid with lifes fragility. We are all given this special gift and hopefully in the end we will have enlightened and expanded our hearts. I wish everyone a safe and healthy holiday season and never be afraid to tell those around you how much you care and love them. I would also like to thank you for your service as a truck driver. People fail to understand that you guys are the lifeblood of America. Without your contributions people would be lacking food, goods, even medical supplies. So thank you, you guys are appreciated!

If anyone in vehicles deserves 110 years in prison, it is drunk and/or wrong way drivers.

[@1982MCI]

I left the same comment a couple days ago on one of the videos about that truck driver. His truly was an accident and while horrific and sad for any families, the man was attempting to do his job, had a mechanical failure, and just could not process what to do in the amount of time he had to do it. It truly was an accident but this Bastard here, if found to have been drinking, in my opinion should be charged with a minimum of two counts of first degree murder and if found guilty, should be executed on the day of sentencing!! That would start slowing some of this crap down!!! He knew when he started drinking that if he continued, he would not be allowed by law to drive and he chose to completely disregard the laws and knew what could potentially happen if he continued but made the conscious decision to continue anyways with total disregard for other human life!! This is the perfect example of who should receive 110 years, not the truck driver, but I’m a firm believer in executing these damn drunks!!! It’s like we listen to a broken record week after week with the same results! Drunk driver with four previous DUI convictions and one other DUI death of an innocent victim yet they keep walking away with a slap on the wrist and it’s gotta stop now and will only have a chance of stopping if folks have to start paying with their lives!!

[@CosmicCamm]

@@mamacat63 not every city has them, but traffic light controls are becoming more and more popular. They're called traffic signal preemption. Several cities around me have them. There are different kinds but the most commonly used is called line-of-sight. Emergency vehicles are equipped with a strobe light that flashes at a specified frequency, and traffic signals are equipped with receivers programmed to detect that frequency (the receivers kind of look like one those motion lights people have installed above their garage or in their backyard). When the receiver detects the correct strobe frequency, the traffic lights will stop cross traffic and turn the signal green for the direction the emergency vehicle needs to go. This is most beneficial in congested areas as it allows the otherwise stopped traffic to proceed through the intersection, making it safer for everyone while allowing for a faster response by first responders.

I was about 12 yrs old when I heard there was an accident down by the highway from my home. I asked my mother if I could go down to see it. Once I got there I saw a little boy younger than me holding the side of his head where his ear was gone. I was astounded how horrible accidents were right then and I never wanted to see another accident in my life again. I refused from then on from being a gawker in a car driving by any accident and I have had to stop to help a person and get them to a hospital due to the accident being 40 miles from the closest city with a hospital. However I was upset at that first accident seeing people hurt bad at 12 yrs old and realize staring at people being hurt is being a gruesome individual.

A car once drove past me on FM 1960 at night going the wrong way, he ran the red light through the intersection, but I guess he didn't know that since the lights were facing away from him. Another time some woman passed me on Fallbrook Dr. going the wrong direction in broad daylight in the afternoon. I came nearly to a stop as she drove past and stared at her like "What in the actual fuck are you doing?", funny enough the dumb bitch looked back at me like I was crazy. LMAO.
