      I wonder what all those emergency lights up ahead are about 🤔 better not slow down just in case 🤦‍♂️

      How do you even protect yourself when you’re in the middle of that?

      back collisions are significantly more dangerous than frontal collisions, so stopping a good distance away on a highway where stopping is not allowed might be more dangerous

    3. I’ve seen the longer version of this and I always think about the people in cars in the front that didn’t get out…

      The amount of people in the comments that don’t understand that the road is frozen over, in a part of the country that typically doesn’t experience nor prepare for freezing weather such as this, is almost as terrifying as the video itself.

    5. I sure people stop posting speed up videos. It demeans the tragedy to see it in portrayed speed up for dramatic effect.

    6. The worst part is this was all created by greed. That part of the road is a toll road with barriers to ensure people don’t enter or exit. A lot of poor engineering when designing the road. The city and state let the NTTA create that death trap. It’s shameful

    7. Horrifying. Literal nightmare. You could do everything right and still get caught in that.

    8. There were hella people speeding like crazy in those conditions, especially that last 18-wheeler. I wouldn’t say this was preventable, but the damage could have been way less than it was.

    9. Two of those vehicles were going way to fucking fast. That first semi looks like it was able to slow down and avoid carnage, and then the black car and white work truck just come barreling down like they are looking for someone to kill.

    10. As a northern driver I am always amazed by this. I’m not putting anyone at fault, just amazed.

      Texans are the most aggressive drivers here in the PNW…. This clip explains what happens to those drivers here during this time of year

      Watching this from the northeast but I will contain my snark and remember that Texans ain’t used to that shit.

      I know it’s in texas so they wouldn’t know, but don’t slam the breaks when your car is sliding like this

      From the NE. The first time I visited Virginia, the whole state was basically shut down by what we’d consider a dusting the night I got there. In the morning I went to grab some coffee from a gas station and realized the danger wasn’t the conditions, but the people driving in it that weren’t used to it. Cars in ditches everywhere and the road slicker than a wet turd. Complete bumper car mayhem.

      The best part was being shocked that nobody owned a snow shovel.

      Remember when Ted Cruz flew himself and his family to Cancún instead of dealing with this? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

    16. The visibility is not at all bad, so the speed with which some of these cars are plowing into the rest is baffling to me. Though, I’m Canadian, not Texan, so I understand ice and driving for the conditions.
