San Diego: Dramatic Freeway Rescue 01022020

[@jlda9474]

Boy you talk about Hero’s! They rescued this gent like a bunch of yellow bees!! He could not have been in better hands!! Thank you sirs!!

[@miriamsamaniego3335]

Wow!!! What an incredible extraction of the man in the car!! I really, really hope he’s going to be ok. He seemed so scared and couldn’t breathe. These first responders and those nice folks who stopped to offer comfort, are all angels on earth!!

[@mikedemarsico9008]

I believe our first responders, truly are ANGEL'S. Each and every one of you guys are a blessing 🙏.. THANKYOU for everything you do.

[@philsmidwestclassiccars150]

We need to give thanks & gratitude to the US Navy Corpsman who was driving by and 2 SDG&E employees who assisted until rescue arrived. I thank these folks from the bottom of my heart as they could have just left this guy sitting under the truck by himself. In a day when others are finding time in their life's to loot & tear away at the core values of our cities, these few folks found love & compassion in their hearts to help somebody out who was really down on his luck that day. Awesome story with a great ending. Thanks 911 Video News.

[@wj-s4378]

Thank you to our Hero's SDFD!! I hope everyone escaped with minor injuries.

[@MrSquareart]

Yes I agree!!!!!!

[@kingofmetal1961]

GOOD JOB SAN DIEGO FIRE DEPARTMENT, ALSO GOOD JOB BY THE NAVY CORPMAN AND THE 2 SD&G EMPLOYEES, EARTH ANGELS ARE ALL AROUND!

[@leewhy6238]

He had an asthma pump. My husband has asthma and an attack can come out of nowhere! Perhaps that’s why he lost control of his car. That wheezing sound he was making only asthmatics make. Poor gentleman, I wish him all the best and a speedy recovery

[@acer7552]

Poor guy. He’s moaning because of pain. I hope he’ll do alright.

[@guerrillaentrepreneur5999]

Yeah, he is in both pain from his injuries and complications from asthma you could see him gripping the inhaler at the start of the video.

[@darrens.4322]

As usual, 911 Video News gets there first and has the best breaking news video in my opinion.

[@mississippiwoman5363]

Bless his heart! I pray that he is okay! Prayers for the driver of the semi also!

[@megrandom1419]

Great job to the wonderful fire department

[@hberri7772]

Thank you for being our hero’s everyday no matter what! We ❤️ our first responders! And ty video crew for showing us what these hero’s do out there

[@TheEvilQueenHasSpoken]

I wonder if the asthma attack caused the accident or was brought on by the stress of it. I just wanted to breathe for the poor guy....

[@skiqsr]

As a severe asthmatic... the crash is so intense it most certainly caused the attack... the first responders should have got him on oxygen the second they saw the inhaler.

[@philsmidwestclassiccars150]

Exactly. The poor guy was in a panic. Who wouldn't be after taking a ride like he went through. The scene of him grabbing at his inhaler makes it all too clear. The truck came up on the spinning car on the ramp & couldn't avoid it. Thank God everyone made it out in 1 piece. That was 1 tough ole guy there as you can see he's also trying to help himself get out of the car.

[@kathlynterry8196]

I don’t know know how they got so many firefighters in that tiny space. That was dramatic.

[@funeralangel8262]

Amazing !

[@ESMC-Building.Manager-ES421]

Go Navy!!!! Great job everyone working together!!

[@lestki]

Just a reminder to all never to try and extricate anyone yourself no matter how tempting it may be.. Always leave it up to the professionals. You never know what the injuries might be and you may even make them worse.

[@theferretgalfeatures4394]

Jesus Thank God the car didn't catch fire

[@kabish0603]

There are accidents on this on ramp almost every day. People take the ramp WAY too fast resulting in accidents like these.

[@kabish0603]

​@Joenald Bum Where did I say i expect others to do 25 and merge into highway traffic at 40? Don't think I did now did I? I mean that is the posted limit, well actually 30 not 40. I expect people to keep control of their car and maintain their lane of travel. All I said is people drive that curve way too fast which results in people drifting at the apex of the curve thus resulting in this. How about you graduate your keyboard warrior skills to a post where its more worthy of your useless skills. Yet another added to my block list.

[@toemblem]

Agreed! The firefighters did a great job. I hope those guys are alright. Small thing but worth noting, it is: SR-94 and I-15 (not SR-15) or the 94 and the 15.

[@MrSquareart]

Thank you SDFD for the great work!!!!!!

[@dirt9925]

This trucking company has changed its name numerous times and has the history of accidents

[@peaceandwealthseeker4504]

Dirt992 the car was spinning prior to truck coming in report

[@bryanblack7828]

You all immediately want to blame the big trucks,when in fact, it's the little cars that don't want behind the trucks,and speed up and cut the big trucks off...people need to be more considerate of big vehicles..a minute or two doesn't get you there any quicker... definitely not worth putting people's life at risk...

[@arf833]

Good job to the quick rescue SDFD. As they said, "it could have turned to a recovery of a body. No car is a match to semi. I wonder who had the medical emergency to cause that. The trucker had a bent left steer rim and tire or the car had the emergency which caused the semi to take emergency evasion procedures to cause the damage. Good save.

[@arf833]

I remember an incident I was in Kenniwick, Washington. I was pulling piggy back new semi x3. I was fixing to go down a 7% downgrade when I saw a state trooper with code 3 lights and siren. I put my flashers on and moved to the shoulder to start slowing down. I'm already going down the grade when immediately a red sedan with 5-17-19 year olds pass me at a high rate of speed, immediately jumping in front of me in the shoulder and slamming their brakes on me. I ended up locking up and jacknifing with a 3 way which is exactly like pulling double trailers. I'm light and locked up trying to stop to avoid a fatal rear end. I ended up slamming the guard rail and taking it with me into the drainage ditch. I nearly grazed them and ended up in the ditch almost to the point of rolling over. I breathed a sigh of relief that I would not have to live with the guilt of 5 deaths on my conscience. The teens were charged and I was acquitted of any wrongdoing since it was caught on dash cam on the responding incoming state trooper. I totaled 3 trucks valued at $120,000. Huge financial loss to my company but no deaths to haunt the rest of my life.

Very hard to do a proper and safe extraction of the patient from the car when the patient goes into respiratory stress they did the best and the fastest they could overall was a very good and fast rescue.

[@bleueviolette4549]

Well executed rescue.

[@pspsvan65]

Here in Sweden it is forbidden to film accident sites and victims. It is considered unethical and I can agree, I would not want to have a camcorder in my face if I had an accident.

Marie Foy Then why the hell is he on road in a BIG rigs BLIND SPOT?????

[@mariefoy242]

@@tbone3972 cause he had an inhaler in his hand so it's possible that he had an asthma attack

[@lottiestanley7696]

T Bone - The description said the driver of the car lost control, and the car went into a spin before the semi hit the car. I don’t think he was traveling in the semi’s blind spot.

[@tbone3972]

Lottie Stanley So it’s not about the blind spot, it’s about the operator of the semi who is blind. I get it now.

Semi trucks be acting like they run the road. So many times we almost got rammed going speed limit amd they just want to merge if they know their destination why not switch safely and earlier to avoid hurting compact cars. Hope he’s okay

I'm not a first responder so I'll ask a dumb question - why didn't they just move the big rig to get to the man who was injured?

[@gregggoss2210]

Nice video. I take it you have a good working rapport with the locals, otherwise you would have been shoo'd like a fly.

[@911VideoNews]

I do, but California State Law allows the media to be at the scene with "Freedom of Movement" if it's not a crime scene, and as long as we do not interfere with the 1st. responders.

@@peaceandwealthseeker4504 oh well I wont argue with someone that does not know the truth

[@64chevy90]

Jersey barriers and K-rails are modular. These are called F-shape barriers. They are cast in place.

[@tbone3972]

That’s why you NEVER drive in a BIG rig’s BLIND SPOT because you NEVER know what they’re going to do..... I’ve seen A LOT of motorists drive & changing lanes without using their f**king signals and/or for those signal but the other driver won’t let you pass but once you pass them they speed up & you off. I think this is one of the case... No sympathy for both drivers.
