Jesus Christ why would you stop in the middle of the freeway at night

[matchoo]

How these people get drivers licenses is beyond me smh.

NEVER stop in the middle of the highway!

The last thing you’d expect is a stationary vehicle in that lane, exacerbated by the bright police lights and dark night.

[hunteatv]

its so scary because you can hear the cop telling the driver to move over to the right shoulder, if they have moved just a few seconds before 🥺

why would you stop in the middle of the freeway?

Someone who stops dead on a freeway during a traffic stop in my view is negligent and reckless despite being hit from behind. At that point you are endangering everybody's life in the vehicle. Probably didn't have a license or had priors....I feel awful people died but when you get behind the wheel of a vehicle....you've entered a killing machine. I hope that truck driver gets a good attorney.

The driver of the SUV was responsible for these 4 deaths. Who in the world that has earned a drivers license does not know to stop on the shoulder or a safe place? Safety before police instructions even. Even on the shoulder you are at risk and need to be on your toes. This accident and those deaths were completely unnecessary, very sad. Edit: taking into account the move over law, I must add that I still think the cause lies with the SUV driver, but the truck driver failed to act on the emergency lights and could have proceeded on the left lane as it was clear.

literally. what person stops in a travel lane of an interstate highway when being pulled over..

[slothmarathonpromotions]

Insanely dumb to stop in the middle of the freeway. Accident was so preventable.

[muckeyyjudith]

Never ever stop on the expressway especially in one of the lanes shoulder bad enough

[alexcross]

I feel so bad for the cop. I can’t imagine having to see that happen right in front of you and instantly realizing people just died. The semi should have moved over a lane just for seeing the cop’s lights but I don’t think they should be at fault. How do you just stop your car in a lane of TRAFFIC at NIGHT ??? You can’t tell if a car is completely stopped like that. They were careless and had no awareness of their surroundings

[BB..........]

What kind of idiot stops in an active lane of traffic?!

[wazzazone]

I really wonder how so many people get licenses.... many have no business driving a push mower but they’re out there driving cars and trucks.
It should be mandatory everyone takes a driving class and road tests lasts at least an hour to get a license.... trucks should be a several month process to get a CDL

[DaMurphyBeat]

That's one way to get out of a ticket.

[MarksArk]

The trooper had his emergency lights activated. The semi should've slowed down and moved over to the number two lane. The semi had time and space to do this.

[clarissafradue]

As a truck driver someone did this to me but luckily nobody was in the next lane so I moved over in time. Some people are just dumb.

Wow. Who stops in Whoever the driver was cost four people their lives .

[blightedgrounds]

There were SEVEN people inside that SUV & the driver parked it in the middle of a highway at night???

[Raeodor]

7 seconds before the truck hit his brakes after impact.. He also should have known to get over with a cop on the right as well as slow down, cause those flashing lights are damn near blinding at night.
