  1. This is the problem with these massive SUVs. The ABS prevents the vehicle from stopping because the weight came off all the wheels going over the bump. Always clear your intersections first

  2. I watched this video and there are 1000's of videos of people not pulling over and fleeing. So I thought, hmmmmmm we need stricter laws for people who flee from police…then I remembered the democrat liberals want no laws….when you can go free on the 1000's of crimes, especially during the summer of the sedition of 2020..then you don't have to stop for police….this country and world is in dire condition because of liberal ideology..

  3. 1:18 – Okay, there are some serious reporting inconsistencies here.
    The trooper porpoised the truck – in the very same intersection the chase was stopped in or what? I mean, the reporter does not report that it was a different intersection but we do not see any other police vehicles where the trooper smacked the semi (after violating a handful of department policies).

    So… did the trooper blow through their own crime scene going that fast? Or did the chase conveniently end in the same intersection later?

    1:45 – So, the children were IN the trooper's vehicle when the accident happened, to be cared for by the tow truck operators who stepped up? WTF would the be trooper be flying balls to the wall AFTER securing the perps??

    What the F* is going on with the idiot who edited this segment???

  4. I'm not sure how everyone says the Trooper ran a red light. If you are facing a red light and oncoming traffic is facing a red light, how is the Trooper wrong. If you look at the video, the Trooper coming from the right plainly has a green light. The through traffic light is green and left turn is red. Sorry folks, but the Trooper was not in the wrong.

  5. Trooper clearly has a red light; the lights facing the semi are green, including the left turn arrow. For the trooper, the straight thru traffic lanes have a red; only the right turn arrow is green. Curious what the Texas DPS policy is regarding clearing intersections.

  6. What texas tooper that nada that the video that nada nada that nada that nada the tooper car that that nada that nada mi camera that nada that nada the truck that nada that nada that that my car that nada that nada that the shooting that the tooper that nada that nada that nada that nada watch that dad that said that nada no that I'm sorry that my mom tgat nada that the shots fired that

  7. It is RARE to see a news agency have the courage to actually show the crash and not "we cut it before the moment of impact as it may be too disturbing." Thank you for not censoring reality. This folks is reality. This is what happens if you underrun a semi. That's how fast/slow it happens, and that's how violently a trailer can be tossed when smacked into by a car. There is no room for imagination or assumption. Only reality.

  8. It is the cops fault no matter what the situation is they have to cross an intersection when it is safe to..but we all know how the corruption is they gonna say its the truck driver fault when the cop is the one at fault
