Wrecks Out My Window

Looks like a SWB Taco?

 

It was a single cab dodge pickup.

 

kinda looks like he didn't see the stoplight until it was too late. the overpass probably blocks the view from a distance (alot of those around here).


but texting/on the phone probably didn't help any.

 

Are people color blind where you live?

 

There's no car accidents in Boulder?

 

Nah man, everyone just rides their organic bicycles around

Damn hippies haha

 

We have a rollover!

that tow truck snatched up that business opertunity real quick!

 

that he did!

 

Is there a world record for tow truck response? I'm impressed haha

 

He's faster then most tow truck drivers at race tracks. Lol

 

Don't run the lights people!

Is there a live feed?

 

You'd think the guy coming from the right would have seen the car in front of him. I don't think he even hit the brakes before hitting him. Must've started texting once the light turned green

 

To clear up the earlier discussion, this is a picture of the intersection near my office, with an almost identical layout to the one in the videos. i know it may be hard to tell because the picture is so small, but when you are driving, you can clearly see the stoplight on the other side of the overpass, before you even start to go under it. So it's not an issue of limited visibility, it's an issue of stupidity.

 

Yup, that looks familiar. That's my building on the right. You can clearly see the lights.

 

bingo. stupud humans

 

Crazy. I remember that intersection from when I was living in the Houston area. (Assuming it is the one mentioned earlier of 249 and 1960) And the only way you can miss the lights is if you are not paying attention. There is plenty of unobstructed view there. Just people not paying attention.

Yep. That is the same general view there. I know when I was living in Orlando and Daytona Beach, they started installing strobes in the red lights so that when the light was red, it would have a bright strobe in the middle flashing. Maybe Houston should consider that...

 

I love this thread!

 

the strobes work very well. parts of DC have also started with the strobes.

A lot of the lights in florida that have higher speed limits coming into them also have a very bright blue light on top that illuminates during the red light cycle. extremely hard to miss, even if you aren't looking directly at it.
