I live in Australia and I liked the extra footage because we got to see some American countryside.

That steering wheel holder wasnt even supposed to start his left until you made yours! What a goof!

WALMARTS GOT SHIT TO DO, BEEP BEEP

As soon as he started pulling out, it was clear there was no way in Hell he would make it. lol

Mr Alba thank you for liking my post. It was from my ❤. I don't think folks understand how dangerous trucking is. You truckers put your lives on the line every time you climb behind the wheel AND you do it for us. It's a tough life and pay sucks so just wanted you and all truckers are appreciated, at least by me. Be safe sir.

seen this crash quite a few times but with all the before crash footage which is breathtaking... thanks for posting....

Never seen it so busy in that area before. fun fact for people who don't know, there's a Stonehenge replica right by there.

hey man! your video brought me right back to trucking with my grandpa..the road, the music, the colour of your truck ..everything. it gave me goosbumps the whole ten minutes. I miss him and those days.. thank you that was a good video besides the accident..hopefully the innocent guy is okay. this made my night dude, its crazy how much that took me back..that was so cool how a random video on youtube just did that to me, hope you have a good night and stay safe on the road :)

5:55 .....

Glad no one seemed hurt but I have to admit, the way that trail swung around looked really cool.

The most important question is, when did Swift start running trailers without their logo?

The accident was bad enough but I got to see parts of the west coast which I have never seen before so the extra 9 minutes to me was worth it. The scenery is beautiful there.

For the actual crash go to 5:50

Holy hell! I swore I felt the breeze from the trailer swinging by that was too close.

The magnificent landscape, and cool trucks!

I was waiting on the truck that was coming down the hill. Did you see how the other truck got hit , I didn't want to get hit, that could've been me, no thanks

My son is a cross country trucker these videos terrifie me. So all you truckers out there, I am sending you all angels in my prayers. Thank you for all you do! Think l"'ll make this hug a trucker day. GOD BLESS YOU.

"Whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky." You can only find lyrics like that in a good ol' country song! Lol!

He forgot what he was driving. He saw that truck barrelling down that hill but thought he could make it. He forgot he was driving a truck and not a car. Short. He became impatient.

Skip to 5:50 for the crash if you don't want to wait.

I love how the Walmart truck is just like peace I'm out of here.

I spoke to the driver that got hit, and he said that he thought he saw all the guys blinker. Which was a bunch of BS because there was no blinker at all he just didn't want to wait.

rain is a good thing, rain makes corn...omfg...

I think I'd shit my pants thinking that trailer was going to end up in my lap!

Damn lucky the truck didn't end up on it's side. Looks like the momentum of the trailer pulled the tractor back onto it's wheels.

CRASH AT 6:00, total BONEHEAD MANEUVER. The reason that insurance is so expensive. Thanks for posting.

so 1 thing I think all you missed was the RV N CAR to MY LEFT just b4 I stopped, there was a family stopped n enjoying the views, n the truck coming the hill didn't want to go that way cause of that family with a 3 month out baby, now imagine if that driver would have went that way or even slammed on his brakes. he would of lost control of his truck. I'm glad he hit the truck instead of the RV N FAMILY. WATCH IT AGAIN.

crazy video thanks for the upload. what dash cam do you use?

love the song on the radio lol. "where I come from rain is a good thing" - Luke Bryan

Pause it at 6.02 and watch at impact how the trailer and front half of the Volvo 670 and reefer becomes airborn. Lucky he didn't roll over. The reefer was obviously empty and not loaded or it would have been much worse for the driver that struck him. Be careful out there drivers

These are my favorite type of KZfaq videos. guys ripping around their turf in bikes, sleds, dash cams in cars and rigs. I watched the whole video not knowing just how serious of footage was about to be captured.

You're lucky the beck end did not come around anymore, yo would have been toast

Am I the only one who half expected Jax Teller to serve head on in front of him early on in the video?

Think they need a traffic light there..

Man I so missed going to Washington st. Passed through this intersection so many times coming back from chelan on my way back to LA Produce Market.

Good thing his trailer was empty/low weight otherwise it would not have turned out as well for the oncoming truck

gotta say though.. Impressed by the King Pin holding onto that trailer as it got whipped around!

Action starts at 5:55. In case you get tired of listening to country music.

This videos is so American.. that country music.

Guy couldn’t take the country music anymore so he just floored it

Relevant content starts at 5:50. Surprising that he didn't document his breakfast before starting his drive.

Don't let know one tell how to edit the video. .it's a beautiful route I enjoyed it. .

this is my father in laws truck, the driver told him the transmission wouldn't shift and that's why he couldn't get out of the way in time. he found out the truth a year and a half later after seeing this video

@Daniel Alba . From what it looks to me - the driver turning left was at fault, like you said; not paying attention, and in a hurry. He had plenty of room, IMHO -to notice that other truck coming around the curve, and the sign itself is far enough away from the corner, where it couldn't have blocked his view for more than a second.

It has been mentioned before, but if you stop the video at 5:54 you can see that from the drivers position of the truck thats turning, the truck coming down the hill is probably partly hidden by the big sign. He was probably looking right just after he started moving into the intersection, and when he looked left again it was too late to do anything except continue. This kind of accident happens all the time, but it's still the turning trucks fault for not ensuring it's safe to turn. Did your truck get damaged in any way?

The trailer swinging around was close! I almost pooped my pants.

Nice video, thanks for sharing.

Damn! Good thing you werent any further up wow! Were the people okay? I seen them both walking, but adrenaline does wonders!

Crazy. Ive driven on this road and been through this junction quite a bit too.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT INCREDIBLE FLAVOR!

Were you ducking behind the dash when they hit? I think I would have been.

6:06 that sounded like final deastion 2 from the pile up where the truck hit the car XDDD

Man if you would have been a few more feet forward that trailer would have hit you hard you are very lucky.

That is a busy intersection on a busy highway! Does there need to have a minimum number of collisions before it can qualify for a traffic signal ? How many lives is it worth this waiting for that number given by statistics ?

That green car in front of you probably has no idea it JUST avoided a crash.

Anyone else think this guy sounds just like Ray Romano? "Jesus Fucking Christ" sounded JUST LIKE RAY!

Walmart said fuck this i am already in trouble.

*Would it be alright with you Mr. Daniel Alba to use this clip in an educational video* about accidents and road safety on my main channel DCtv? Credit,and name on the screen, as always will be provided.Also if you have any additional information about the accident (such as location) that would really be helpful. Look forward to your response.

Saw that coming before it happened!!!!

That must have been a big shock; at 7:40 you're reporting yourself on the Oregon side on Interstate 84, which, if I recall correctly, is about three miles and one big ass river away.

Beautiful Mt Hood!

Big sign dead center of the screen. I wonder if that blocked his view of the truck. By the time he realized, it was too late.

I live in East Vancouver, WA. HW-14 is a fucking madhouse sometimes. IMO, it's even worse the farther West you go. I hope that clown lost his job and got a BIG citation. Glad everyone was okay. Did the trucker who hit the trailer get injured at all?

The roads along the Columbia river are in the middle of beautiful scenery but dang that interchange is dangerous. High winds, winter roads, idiot car drivers, the hikers along the road, make it an area to keep your eyes on the road. Always try to give the big rigs room they need when on that road or coming down 97 can be messy.

omg you got some balls dude i would have thought that trailer was gonna crush me in the cab i woulda been hollarin FuuucccKKKKKK!!! all u said was oh fuck! lol i would have ducked and everything bro

Real fascinated by how the other truckers stopped to help out any way they can. And as far as I can tell it's only truckers. Must be a brotherhood among them.

the scenery looks nice, what states is this in?

Had that reefer been loaded... much different impact. That guy coming down the hill would have been killed. I also think that while the dummy that pulled out is clearly at fault, the guy coming east was doing so pretty aggressively, seeing how probably 98% of all eastbound trucks on 14 are proceeding down the hill on 97 to Biggs Jct. Nobody coming north expects a southbound truck to continue east there. Say what you will but if I'm that guy I'm not blasting through there at that speed expecting a free pass. Aggressive driving IMO not defensive at all. Also notice the congestion there at the time of this accident, lots going on. Amazing video.

Too many people at that intersection assume vehicles, especially trucks, are going to turn. When they don't turn, they get a surprise. Not the first accident there. By the way, that area is mid state, across the river from Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge- just south of Goldendale, Wa.

SNAP!!!! that made my butt pucker up..... the truck pulling out making a left turn knew he should have waited and NOT assume the other truck may be making a right turn.. besides common sense alone will tell you the truck coming down the hill was not even slowing down for a turn... the truck that pulled out is at fault no excuse he can give tells otherwise..

Anyone who drives the secondary roads in eastern Wa knows to be extra careful, or they should. That goes for cars as well as trucks.

I was actually expecting the truck to smash through the other.

This happens when you dont have roundabouts in your country... (Not the ideal place but it would definitely prevent crashes like this)

If you go through it frame by frame, you can pinpoint the exact moment the guy in the green Volvo was shitcanned.

I wish that I had a dash cam during my OTR trucking career. I would of had so many videos to upload here on KZfaq.

I guess those motorcycles appeared to be turning too ! Lol ! ! !

hum a trucker listening to country music... imagine that.

Well balanced load there. Just bounced sideways.

That was AWESOME!

Damn dude that trailer almost swung and took you out. Had you been just a little bit closer you may not have survived to post this. Jesus fuck man, crazy video.

Made me want to randomly drive about in GTA San Andreas.

Is that a Great Dane trailer? Boy it took the hit well. I thought it was gonna break apart lol

AT GOLDENDALE,WA...

Great video. But like I I said to the pastor at my wedding "skip to the end" 5:30 so you can understand what that driver was doing. He thought you were letting him go ahead.

You outside of rock island?

Was that a British Columbia plate I saw at 6:03?

been through that junction many times. you don't go without a clear hill as far as you can see. they come down there awful fast!

I love how you know what's about to happen with wtf?

Not trying take the blame away from Obvious Offender, but I think oncoming truck driver had a chance to save the day

Where is this? The view is awesome!

Mt. Ranier or Hood in the background?

You split 2 rigs, by sitting still!! Level up!

Hay Dan was that your dash cam? This is mike from riverbank high.

Wal-Mart must have seen it in his mirror and flipped a U'y to come back I see the carnage I'm surprised the tandems stayed attached, took a direct blow

Wow. I have been at that same turn-off the Hwy 97 South, I don't know how many times while on my way to Portland. Same story pulling a 53 dry van in my case. But never having something like that happen. This dash-cam driver should have pulled up to block the northbound 97 truck, not wait back. Sometimes you think you are being a nice guy by waiting back to let someone in as in the case of this dash-cam driver obviously did but it is the dumbest thing that you can do. What I am saying is when you do this, you think you are helping someone in their drive but you are actually interfering with their intended purpose. He should have pulled up where the green car turned waiting his turn to go left down Hwy 97 but didn't. As a result he more or less helped cause this accident. Hwy 14 traffic had the right of way, not Hwy 97 at this intersection. Hwy 97 northbound has to wait for Hwy 14 to be clear. You might argue with my logic but I have over 2 million miles safe driving as a professional driver and have been making a living doing this since 1987. I have seen this happen before when someone attempts to help another driver enter a roadway or intersection. I do have to add that this is a very dangerous intersection that can be very busy with traffic, but the best decision is to wait until it is all clear then proceed. Again, let others drive their own path and don't try to think for them. That way it is safer for all of us. I'm sure Daniel will argue that he did no wrong and I don't know what I am talking about. The ultimate blame was with the northbound truck that was hit.

glad that trailer didn't come crush you in your cab. everyone is lucky it was empty.

Did anyone else enjoy just watching him drive?

One "Fuck!" was given...
