Nowhere to go ......
If the driver had kept moving and cut right, he most likely would have rear ended the black car in the right lane. If the driver would have cut left and the cement truck regained control .... a bad head on collision would have happened. So, the driver locked up the brakes and reduced the combined speed of contact. I gotta get that video out of my head before I go to sleep tonight ...... humfrz |

Poor guy didn't have a chance. I just stood over this broken body and helplessly watched him take his last breath. Changed me forever. Always look for the out or try to make one for yourself. Even then, sometimes it just ain't there.

Human life is fragile. It only takes one mistake, human or mechanical, to wipe that life out. I am lucky (or unlucky) to have not encountered a life-and-death situation where a split second could decide my fate.

On the other hand we are just seeing it from a frozen start point and making the call upon on that. If paying attention the driver may well have seen the truck coming down the right side well before it hit the intersection and got the hell over and out of the way. Things like this happen all the time and people avoid them. If the driver had taken that option then the video would probably not exist since it would have ended as a non event. Even as it is, the driver had time to realize what was happening and stop. In that same time they could have gone right and around that black car to the far right lane that was wide open. You guys are over analyzing what was put up just to show that motoring out of the way is sometimes an option. I do not see how it was not an option here. Now whether it would be seen as one at the time that depends on the awareness and reaction of the driver.

An accident almost exactly like this one happened a couple blocks from my house a couple months back. Every single view from a camera that was logged as evidence said that the truck driver was not paying attention and just ran a red causing the accident. Final determination after investigation: Right before the light changed, the cement truck's trailer had come uncoupled and he had no way of stopping it, so it essentially just pushed the cab through the intersection. Moral: Don't believe everything you see. |

Direct cause and root cause are not the same thing. In 30 years of Occupational Health and Safety I have investigated thousands of incidents ranging from minor near misses to catastrophic failure fatalities and if I have learned one thing it is there never an 'obvious' answer from the initial evidence. What appears to be logical can go south on you really fast once you start getting facts.
