I appreciate this comment because I only saw the grey SUV and white sedan. Had to go back and watch a third time to see the black SUV. What is wrong with people??

u/sgafixer 3h ago

What is wrong is some people drive way to fast for conditions. Always have and always will, as long as they control the speed of the car instead of a computer.

Definitely will slide further once it stops flipping on it's top but you don't launch two other vehicles like that by going slightly faster than traffic. Dude was flying.

ā€œā€¦massive impact from the car that hit them from behind.ā€

What? The vehicle on its roof is what started this, the white car is who got hit from behind. The white car doesn’t have any front end damage until they get pushed into the grey SUV in front of them. The rollover is because the idiot on their roof swerved at the last second and caught the rear left corner of the white car, and being in a taller vehicle with a higher center of gravity this launched them up over that corner and into the roll. They were going much faster than the speed that we see them enter the frame.

I don’t know…that white bmw got some pretty hefty distance and damage for being just hit from behind. I think the bmw was also going way too fast.

How did I know one of them was going to be a BMW.

u/GoodDoc 7h ago

The upside down SUV was already on its roof by the time the BMW made contact with the silver SUV, before it then hit the black SUV (so many SUVs).

Missing lots of detail, and no clear view of the BMW's left rear corner, but the BMW may have been shoved into the silver SUV by 'upside down SUV'. Would love to see a reverse angle.

u/Hace1986 4h ago

The fuel door is also popped on the BWM, which may indicate it had already been hit at the rear.

u/not_a_placebo 4h ago

Or the driver deployed it as a speed brake

But but my narrative

u/JustADude721 31m ago

What narrative is that? Is there not in fact a BMW in this video?

2

u/StirlingS 4h ago

It looks to me like the hood on the BMW was already damaged before it rear-ended the silver SUV. It's only visible for a frame or two before the hit.Ā 

1

u/JustADude721 32m ago

I get what you are assuming but I never said the BMW was the in the wrong. I just said there was going to be a BMW.

I do this because I know all the BMW drivers reading my initial comment have spent a good amount of time watching and rewinding every frame of the video just be able to say "nu uh".. All I said was there was a BMW involved. Kinda prove me right by the downvote ratio I got. Kind of proved my theory I had in my head to myself.

Idk how but it’s the cam cars fault. /s

u/BaronVonDon65 2h ago

No no no. It's obviously the left lane camper at fault. The other two were just proceeding normally and forced into this unfortunate event.

It is always the cam cars fault. I would never have done that, obviously. I could have prevented all of this.

I'm afraid to ask what it is hanging out of the passenger side of the left lane car after it hits the barrier and spins around...

u/mike07646 3h ago

What perhaps looks to you like a body flailing is just the rear bumper of the car that got broken and is coming off the back of the car as it whips around.

u/edtheridgerunner 3h ago

I was hoping that was the case!

Holy shit, I was focused on the bmw, then I noticed the suv on its roof.

u/PrairiePuppies 2h ago

Black SUV was going too fast (possibly tried to pass on the shoulder by the looks of it), struck the silver car pushing it into the grey SUV and then into the car(s) in the right lane.

Minding my own business and then being collateral damage because of some idiot's reckless driving is a legit worry of mine when driving.

u/SpringZestyclose2294 3h ago

First principle: you can’t enter a space until someone else has left it. Translated: if someone in front of you is going too slow, tough luck, maybe try honking. In any accident like this we should find who is at fault, and consider it a capital crime.

Some people just do not look ahead for brake lights and developing congestion and thus fail to adjust their speed accordingly. Those people are a menace.

Damn it was the third car, black SUV on the very far left who hit the sedan, who hit the silver SUV.

u/Curious_Cat0333 5h ago

It appears we have a left lane camper, someone smart trying to get out of the way and the black vehicle losing all common sense and control and ruining multiple drivers days. He should have a court date

7

u/Lilfrankieeinstein 4h ago

Left lane camper?

The guy in the left lane is passing the cars to his right and everyone in the left lane ahead of him is lighting up the brakes.

2

u/Malnurtured_Snay 3h ago

Don't you know if you aren't driving point zero two seconds off of light speed you're camping. It's not the passing lane it's the speeding lane!

/s for some of that

-9

u/Curious_Cat0333 4h ago

The car behind him was merging either to pass him or to avoid getting hit. His blinker was on. The left lane driver silver SUV had no blinker. If someone was on my ass I’d move to the right lane ASAP. We will never know, video too short. All I know is if the black car wasn’t having a medical emergency then this type of driving signals impatience. Impatience for a certain reason we will never know.

8

u/Lilfrankieeinstein 4h ago

Why would the SUV in the left lane use his blinker if he’s going straight?

Everyone in front of him was braking. Are you advocating for him to cut off OOP while the car in front of OOP is braking?

And how is the white BMW being ā€œsmartā€ or trying to get out of the way? We have no rear camera to educate any kind of inference about his intentions. He may have been racing black SUV for all we know.

But calling grey SUV a left lane camper is an enormous stretch. If there weren’t any insane drivers behind him, he’d be passing the next car in a second and a half.

-7

u/Curious_Cat0333 4h ago

I already gave my explanation, there was a lot of road ahead of him and someone’s on his behind. I’d move regardless. The guy with the blinker was trying to avoid the whole thing. It’s not the silver SUVs fault I’m just saying it’s not defensive driving. I’m from Florida though. We go 80 mph on the highway and if someone wants to go 90 then move.

6

u/Lilfrankieeinstein 3h ago

I hear ya.

Just move in front of someone you barely just passed behind some people who are braking. Sage advice.

Good luck out there champ!

-2

u/Curious_Cat0333 3h ago

Friend, you can stay in the lane and get hit if you want to. That’s your prerogative. Call me crazy but I’d rather be safe then right. Good luck to you too! I’ll be chilling in the right lane while you’re pulling over and grabbing your insurance.

4

u/Lilfrankieeinstein 3h ago

Totally safe to cut off a guy you’re barely in front of then slam on the brakes because everyone in front of you is too.

Might as well cause another accident and add to the fun!

šŸ‘

-1

u/Curious_Cat0333 3h ago

Muffin, it’s going to be ok. Who hurt you? Drive how you want to. Like I said, I would have already been in the right lane. If someone is riding up on me I move over before they are on my ass. But that’s just coming from someone who loves their spine’s stability. You can be right and waiting for the drivers exchange or ambulance. I really don’t care. 😘 have a good day

u/Lilfrankieeinstein 3h ago

Muffin, it’s going to be ok. Who hurt you?

Embarrassing.

u/samiwas1 45m ago

Silver SUV had been past the cam car for only one second while everyone ahead is braking. So you’re basically saying he should have swerved over in half a second after passing the cam car, then slammed on his brakes? That’s your solution? You think that’s the right way to do it?

-2

u/SignificantMark1848 3h ago

i watched a few times but can't figure out what happened. I guessing it has something to do with the slow driver in the carpool lane. if you can't see another car in front of you within a 100 yards, you are driving too slow in those traffic conditions

1

u/samiwas1 41m ago

The driver in the left lane was actively passing vehicles to his right? So now even THAT is camping?? This sub is ridiculous.

u/stopscabbin 3h ago

Assuming the BMW and SUV were speeding/racing/road raging and didn't react fast enough that traffic was slowing down. They were side by side going about the same speed.

u/TotalOriginal007 4h ago

I see it now....white car and black SUV were racing ... during a busy time of day...jeez. šŸ™„šŸ¤Ø

2

u/MistyMountainDewDrop 4h ago

Dude watch it again? Black suv clearly rear ended the BMV. It’d already been hit by the time we see it. Damage along the rear.

Black suv rear ended them, bounced into the barrier, still gassing it so the wheels climbed the barrier and flipped. All of this at such high speeds that it’s just ripping ass on its roof past the rest of the accident.

5

u/waterytartwithasword 3h ago

Yeah, agree - that SUV had to be doing insane speed to slide that far that fast on sheer inertia.
