Filmed - 12/13/16 UPDATE PLEASE READ: I wanted to clear up many questions and concerns people have had. The cops were called immediately after the first slide off. I called them personally myself and they were called again after the collision. They arrived around 30-40 minutes after the collision. After the first Comcast truck appeared and the first slide off happened, we went to the top of the hill and slowed down traffic as much as we could. The first Comcast truck then left the scene. You can see me at the top of the hill when he passes on the left of me. I retrieved some yard signs to act as warnings and was at the top of the hill when the second truck arrived. I then had the conversation with the second Comcast worker. The individuals that slid off were asking what he said and I went down to tell them. This is when the second truck pulled into the same location placing four cones down. Moments later the accident happened. My wife was in the front yard taking coffee and hot chocolate orders for the people stuck from the slide offs. After she was almost hit, I was obviously more agitated. Then is when I talked to the worker again and then one of the drivers that slid off moved the yard signs to block the road and redirect traffic around a community. Just to review: - I did call the police - I did help slow down traffic - Some drivers were going too fast for conditions - The truck that hit the car was going way too fast and ran off after the accident - I did not film this to try and get anyone fired - I did not upload this to try and make it go viral - I contacted Comcast about the situation before uploading the video. - I let Comcast know I had additional footage - UPDATED: Comcast has contacted me to apologize today 12/15/16 - Threats have been turned over to the police and will continue to be There is much more video that shows all of what I explained that is not in this short 3 min piece. I was concerned for everyone's safety including the workers. Everyone needs to realize that this took place in about an hour time span. You are seeing a small window of it. To call for the heads of the workers, drivers, or us documenting it is just wrong. Please stay safe out there... SLOW DOWN... and have a Merry Christmas. All rights reserved and retained.

fuckkkk comcast they suck
-
fuck all of you that say its the camera mans fault, go suck a dick and bitch about it dumbass
-
instead of filming and arguing , why didn't you go on top of the hill and wave to the incoming drivers to slow down?
-
Never in my life have I felt like I wanted to knock the hell out of these idiots. I hate Comcast for so many reasons and this just tops the list.
-
Everyone was driving way to fast it is there fault that they were having accidents not the comcast fault if they were truly going the appropriate speed for conditions they could have easily stopped.

They did not set up the work zone properly and in accordance with INDOT regulations on lane closures - and those regulations also state to take inclement weather as well as obstructions 'such as hills' into account and extend the work zone as necessary for public safety. This work zone wasnt even set up properly for a sunny day on flat ground with visibility for miles, let alone an icy road at the bottom of a hill.
Blaming the drivers is similar to pulling out in front of someone who is doing 10 over, getting T Boned, and blaming them for driving too fast. Yes, they were going too fast, but the Comcast workers ultimately created the condition that caused the accidents. -
OMGGG WOW

Please read the description before commenting. Many of the same questions come up that are answered in the description update. Yes police were called after the first slide off. Yes we were at the top of the hill slowing down traffic. Yes people need to slow down.
-
why didn't someone walk the 100 yards to the top of the hill and tell people to slow down? They are all standing right at the worst possible spot butching about cones to someone who doesn't give a shit.
-
leave the man do his job
-
you people can not drive they are driving to fast
-
inbred hillbillies
-
why do they not slow down , stupid drivers
-
fuck comcast
-
I'm a tech and let me tell you, people bitch even when you handle traffic properly... at the end of the day these are a bunch of people driving too fast for the conditions.
-
Dude, seriously, people are flying down that road. Speed and snow/slush/ice conditions are not a good match.
-
if you can't drive in snow don't drive! comcast didn't do anything wrong.
-
why are these people speeding when there is snow everywhere
-
what's the difference if it was the cable guy or a car wreak or a downed tree
