Wrecks Out My Window

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXNWTEq3pLo

 

just heard that the overpass out my window that's still closed had a fatality on it this morning

 

Damn, that's no good.

They're sanding the beltway now. North and Southbound were completely shut down. They're a little late though.

 

and the fact that sand is terrible on preexisting ice. it's like putting marbles down on a hardwood floor

 

I had to watch that last video like 3 times because I was staring at the intersection and not a the main overpass there.

Thanks for all the videos they are great

 

Texans are so damn dumb in cold/icy/snowy weather! Oh wait....I'm from Texas. Carry on......

 

I was paying attention hard to the intersection too. I completely missed all the slipping and sliding happening. I wasn't imagining things there were people at one point walking on the shoulder, right?

 

You weren't just seeing things. There was a toll road authority worker that had stopped to check on one of the drivers. Several cars skidded around while he was walking along the inner shoulder.

We'll probably have a repeat of this stupidity come tomorrow. Stay tuned for another video.

 

Ahem...true southerns...Louisiana included We had 1500 accidents in the area...5 people died.(two from getting out of their vehicle and getting turned into a pancake by another vehicle)...and tomorrow is round 2..oh joy..

Still..it amazes me how stupid people are..no common sense at all..OH lets go 70mph over the bridge when i should know it has ice on it..then panic while on the ice and slam on the brakes and expect to make it across...EPIC FAIL!

On the way home from work after it stopped sleeting, the overpasses were still a bit frozen..i slowed down to 35mph before crossing it..however some nut in the fast lane went 50+ and finally braked when he saw the ice..im thinking..if you ain't done breaking by the time your on the ice..your toast! Luckily he didn't crash.

 

Just keep the tires pointed straight and don't change your speed and you'll be fine.

 

I hear Houston is having some interesting weather today.
for more overpass shenanigans.

 

Drops of rain, it's going to be a mad house. Sleet and ice.. you are FUBAR.

 

Nothing doing. The bobbing head weather reporters got it wrong. There's plenty of ice north of us, but it's just wet here. Oh well.

Was the guy even looking? Looked like he was trying to go straight almost.

 

ok some of those are kinda funny. like the one at 3:54. looks like person just straight drove into the wall.


also damn people don’t even slow down when they see a car wreck. hey they just spun out lets drive by then as close as we can at 60mph.

 

Last Thursday
