2 cars slowed down too fast in from the truck to avoid whatever on the road, the truck following too close turned right too fast trying to avoid a front collision, whip effect too strong. especially in a tanker!, no way to straight this truck. Unfortunately paid with a life! you hear a lot people saying "You are a Professional driver". For me as a trucker/ex-fireman, means You need to think/learn about any situation all the time, how to train ur mind to react right, so your( hopefully) body will automatic do it, like programing ur mind to avoid and see bad situations before hand, and not to panic when surprised by any!; few exemples u need to make up ur mind are: running over an animal ( don't forget that there is people committing suicide jumping in front trucks, see someone on the road, move over and get ready!), even if u find yourself doing this whiplash, yes u need to think how to do this shit!, when to break, or not to break but speed up situations, and the most important and last option when to ditch ur truck, is just a few over my head. The most basic thing is: keep ur distance, u will have more space to see the road, and to react!, and hopefully come out ok, cause u are a professional driver in control.

This crash happened because some Idiot tied 3 mattresses on his roof with string!!!! and of course they fell off!!! The Truck Driver is dead because People are Stupid.

If he hadnt of braked once he tried to catch it the last time could he have caught it.and if he was empty would that have made a difference? And he swerved to avoid the honda crv that was avoiding the mattresses thats why he maneuvered like he did which was a deadly mistake. He should have hit them even though its wrong but his life is gone in a horrifying way.tankers are no joke.
-
he was trying to avoid the mattress seen lying in the roadway, at least that's what the local newspaper claims
-
It looks as though someone dropped a load in the roadway, and he swerved to avoid it. Bad move!! those rigs just cant maneuver that way at that speed. When that happens, you just brake and run the stuff over, come to a controlled stop, and call in the state cops.
He was just asking for a jackknife and roll over. too bad he had to pay with his life for his lack of training and/or foresight. -
This is heart breaking that truckers last moments alive.and he died in a horrifying way.
