It looks like the driver wanted to commit suïcide. He was on the shoulder and moved into the lane just before the semi truck was about to pass.
Give him bond and a check…………
Okay I am getting confused with all these reports of wrong way drivers. I see the signs. They are clearly marked. Do some of these people need classes? Or make the signs BIGGER?
You'd think by the time you hit 53, you wouldn't still be dumb as a box of rocks.
😳😳How is he alive?
The perpetrator is a Boomer. Thats the entire problem, right there. If we want to make the world a better place, we should outlaw Boomerism.
Why do we not put tire punctures on the freeway entrance to cut down this wrong way driving stuff? Houston use to have these in the 80s.
Should sue Ford motor company. Yes I’m being sarcastic but if it was something else…….
Does anybody have a link to the whole video of the crash. It's crazy that nobody was hurt badly. Kudos to the manufacturer of the car. It passed a real life crash test.
Probably impatiently waiting for happy hour, no availability for Ford drivers
Bless that fucking camera man holy shit
How the hell did he survive
Legions of innocent people are weary of these drunk/impaired POS drivers. The tolerance levels among judges and prosecutors for these killers and destroyers is ridiculous. Potential killers walk away with a "warning". a "toot "blower, and a free candy bar. These criminals cause havoc wherever they drive. Build more lock-ups; put them away for number of years; if they kill people, then transfer to live in prison. Sorry,
losers. I'm sick and tired of your selfish bullshitting actions.
I bet he was lost.
Why is it everytime these stupid DUI people walk away
Ok, so the ford explorer is the safest vehicle ever made apparently
Maybe and just maybe if our law enforcement would be allowed to enforce the law, this irresponsible driver now criminal wouldn’t be able to what he did and thank God no one got killed. No mercy for drunk drivers
hahaha happy the truck driver is okay
Love how alcohol allows these people to walk away from wrecks like this with minor injuries
I’m still pissed I was late for work by two hours and left two hours ahead of time smh. What a buster
HAHA. guy thought he was going to die, but is going to wake up with a prison sentence and a HUGE fine to work off. and they'll make him work it off cause he'll be on suicide watch and he ain't no Epstein lol
You've got to be kidding me! this man crashed into a semi head on and didn't die.
probably already out of jail, smh
