That kingpin saved her life !! 🙏🏽

[@ImTheCrew]

This is insane! Glad she’s ok…. Life flashed before her eyes!

[@CarolA-ww5rk]

Wow wow wow I totally admire her, in her 20's working hard, beautiful... She has a very bright future 💜

God was with her.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤

As a trucker myself, this is why I hate bridges. The slightest mistake can send me tumbling overboard. Still not as bad as driving through the Rockies. Forget all about those tiny little guardrails that are there to prevent motorists from tumbling a mile down the mountain in a ball of fire, they can't stop a semi. They don't even exist to me.

[@Geminicricketi]

So wouldn’t it be wise to follow safety precautions. Like driving in the left lane on the bridge? N are you affected by the rise of women in the trucker profession. Has it become a nuisance?

[@MattyIcecubes]

@@Geminicricketi What are you even saying, you dumbass?

[@MattyIcecubes]

@@Geminicricketi Why would driving in the left lane into oncoming traffic be safe? And why would I be concerned about the percentage of female truckers reaching an all time high of 7%?

[@Geminicricketi]

@@MattyIcecubes I meant right lane. So u agreed she in The wrong lane. N woman driving trying trucks has had no effect on your over the road experience….u are quoting statistics when I asked for your personal experience 🙄. U like to answer questions with questions ? Either u are a girl or have been taught to think like 1 via no male role models or being beaten into submission by feminism. 🤷🏽‍♀️ i could be wrong.

SEMI-TRUCK DRIVERS HAVE NO BUSINESS DRIVING IN THE LEFT (FAST/PASSING LANE) PERIOD! Idk why they feel the need to try and "pass" other Semi's on the right, but they will continue for 100 miles going the SAME SPEED as the other Semi-truck in the right lane and cause wayyyy more traffic to be slowed down than if they would just stay in the right lane!!!!

[@vannaoffthewall9344]

I completely agree! She didn’t do anything wrong, BUT as a trucker myself I see this unprofessional driving all the time. A semi has ZERO business in the left lane on a bridge PERIOD. There is always a risk with lane changes when you’re driving such a large vehicle, therefore all semis should always remain in the left lane and pass ONLY when absolutely necessary. Passing another semi on a bridge is not smart at all & this is the problem with these drivers too, you also have ZERO business being in a hurry. If she wasn’t in a hurry, why be in the left lane…

[@boomergames8094]

The lanes are too narrow. They look like 10'. US Standard for a highway is 12', though it used to be 10', and that's an old bridge which is how it gets away with it. There is no division between them. If the lanes are 10', then the bridge is only 40'. That gives a couple of extra feet if it were 3 lanes. That bridge should be 3 lanes max. They should change it to one 11' lane in each direction, and one reversible in the middle, with 3 feet on either side of the middle for room to spare.

[@montramedia]

i wonder what was keeping the truck up (WRONG ANSWERS ONLY)

[@timeout...4nva]

the trailer wedged between the roadbed and the bridge truss held up the entire truck.

[@Only.The.Best.]

But the truck is only held to the trailer by a hitch

[@timeout...4nva]

@@Only.The.Best. The semi truck and trailer are connected by a 5th wheel very strong.

[@CeeSparks]

Gods Grace, because that tooth pick of a bridge barely has any support

[@babydaddy1930]

The kingpin lock is the strongest and hardest part on a semi it's a 1 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch piece of metal but is absolutely indestructible,

[@spencercall-yi7yt]

semi truck driver not following driving manual instructions both hands on the wheel at all times she was not driving correctly at the time one hand on her chin and one holding on to the driver seat

[@jnew2162]

Let’s be real, no one drives with both hands on the wheel. It’s not her fault, she was struck head on by a reckless driver.

[@vannaoffthewall9344]

As a trucker myself, sure we will drive with one hand. But NEVER in traffic, on a bridge, passing another vehicle with in the left lane, construction zones… Also she had no business in the left lane passing another semi ON A BRIDGE.

Both yall stupid. She got hit in her front tire. In the video, she's steering right but the vehicle still kept going left. She had no control at all. Yall seriously blame her but not the idiot who just drive straight at a damn semi after almost hitting another car??

[@Heitzsche]

The car that hit the truck destroyed the steering column and she was trying to turn right, not left.

[@Ericlawless380]

@@Heitzsche someone else said it hit the brake suspension or something they said the wheels was stuck in that direction but it's kind of the similar answer I guess

Suspended license. If that idiot is a "sovereign citizen", they must lock him up and throw away the key.

@@kiemugen9830 I don't think you understand what the quotes mean. It is quite the opposite of being literal.

[@gman8578]

She should have been in the right lane behind the other semi truck I don't understand why semi trucks feel they need to be in the fast lane. She should have been in the slow lane right behind the other semi truck. Apparently she was trying to pass him on a bridge no less

[@ablamill8357]

This! Of course, the fault is still on the pickup driver.

[@Geminicricketi]

Thank you. I was wanted to hear from someone educated on this. Instead of opinions of ppl that have no clue. I think is is good a 26 yr old woman driving semi trucks. Women want to be men so bad. Except me. N idk if a man would had better control over the truck because the semi way bigger than the pick up. Maybe she panicked?

[@boomergames8094]

There are just lanes. At the end of the bridge is a traffic light where people turn left. The lanes are too narrow. They look like 10'. US Standard for a highway is 12', though it used to be 10', and that's an old bridge which is how it gets away with it. And, there is no division between them. That bridge should be 3 lanes max. If the lanes are 10', then the bridge is only 40'. That gives a couple of extra feet if it were 3 lanes.

[@CeeSparks]

​@Geminicricketi has nothing to do with being a man. Her boss may have okayed it. Just like women drive fast in cars and in fast lane as a man does and can. Not sure how this ended up gender related. Wth?

[@Geminicricketi]

@@CeeSparks because truck driving is an overwhelmingly male profession. N it is that way for a reason. No young girl should be aspiring to be male. There are too many women wanting to be men and wondering y they single. N are shocked men don’t want man women lol. N I think a man would have been in the correct lane as well as better able to control colliding with that little truck. Not panicking n driving off a bridge. Call me old fashioned but I love for women to be women. Let’s the boys do the tough jobs.

[@twinsonic]

What about charging the idiot who stopped the car in the first place?

[@rr-sp5ii]

It was a stalled car. Everyone else was able to avoid it. Probably on his cell phone and didn't see it till the very end and had to go across one lane into oncoming traffic. If he had been attention he could have just hit breaks and stopped.

[@mercetajs]

@@rr-sp5ii to avoid a car you dont need to go into upcoming traffic lol so yeah probably a good reason why his license was suspended

[@Ash-kb9hn]

If your car breaks down you cannot do anything about that. It’s up to the other drivers to be paying attention. All of the other cars were perfectly fine. He was probably on his phone.

[@detroitman9309]

The guy driving the 18-wheeler literally was going to sleep just prior to being hit head-on.

[@gman8578]

She should have been in the right lane behind the other semi truck I don't understand why semi trucks feel they need to be in the fast lane

As a trucker myself. I agree. She had no business on the left lane, I’m so sick of truckers in the left lane AND speeding on a damn bridge. This happens all the time!

[@MyHarrietHarper]

I bet you that the pickup truck driver was distracted by something inside their vehicle moments before they noticed the hazard lights of the stationary vehicle as they approached. Tesla should make it their top priority to build a range of affordable self-driving electric cars.

[@damaito1829]

They had a suspended license

Had nothing to do with God, if anything God tried to kill you. Man saved you

She can thank God if she wants. Why or how are you so triggered about another persons set of beliefs? How does her thankfulness to God in any way infringe on your day to day routine? Sincerely I am curious? U don’t have to believe in God and that’s your perogative. But if God is so fictional, why try so hard to disprove his existence?

God didn’t try killing her and neither did the guy it was a bad accident but he’s a fool for having a suspended license.
