- State police believe a driver attempting to merge onto I-95 South is the cause of the fiery crash Thursday morning under the Fairfield Avenue bridge in Norwalk.
People failing to properly merge is a real problem. I don't know what they are teaching them now, but when I was in driving classes, they taught us to MERGE, not blindly move over hoping people would get out of the way. Make this idiot pay for EVERYTHING!
People take tests just to pass the class (or in this case to get a driver’s license) whatever they do after depends on their life or death.
Not a day goes by that I don't see people merging incorrectly or passing and then going back into the right lane without giving adequate room.
Most people don’t merge properly or even signal, but the ones who do try to do it properly are often met with resistance from selfish idiots in the main lanes. When there is congestion, both sides need to cooperate and merge like a zipper.
Idiot responsible should be charged
trucks do the same thing or worse, they are not supposed to use the left lane, and you see them on i87, i287, BQE or Van Wick cutting across and driving on the left lane, buses too.
well hell they didn't put the blame on the truck driver i cannot believe my ears
Yeah, amazing, isn’t it!
Now they just need to arrest the car driver because you know they would’ve for the truck driver lol
Right! Meanwhile the idiot in the car gets to run free and wreak more havoc on the roads.
No drug test no eld or log check no insurance claim no lawsuit 🐂💩
Damn 4 wheelers, when I was a trucker, I had so many close calls with 4 wheelers waiting until the last minute to cut me out to get off the very next exit! I have so much more but it isn’t always the truckers fault! Too much more to type about them!
I don't drive a truck, but people's driving habits are downright lethal. I mean.... passing my school bus on an acceleration lane? Switching lanes constantly? Violently? No turn signals? f u c k is going on?
Trying to merge is hard because people will see you trying to merge and they will do anything not to let you in knowing there is only so much time before you run out of lane and have to completely stop and hold up everyone behind you. People are so rude and unkind they cause wrecks with their impatience and selfishness. You could not pay me to live in a large city and have to deal with that every day.
Skipping school is proof kids need to stay in school...
That woman sounded drunk
Yes, skipping school and smiling about it. You should be real proud of yourself. WAFM
Lighten up Biff.

A car was trying to merge into another lane ??? Sounds like that driver was driving aggressively !!!
well, if it's already occupied by a tanker truck, yeah.
Why does she look like someone who skipped school?
Lmfao
Had a similar accident near Akron Ohio . A driver changed lanes aggressively and over corrected
He ended up crashing into the side of a tanker carrying gasoline ruptured the discharge pipe under the tanker causing it to catch fire
His car became stuck under the tanker and he was basically cremated as the entire truck literally melted there was nothing left
😔😢
That’s what I call instant justice.
At least that driver won't ever do it again and endanger others.
Merging traffic MUST yield !!
America is getting too populated for the roads to function safely. Driving to Florida, was amazed there weren’t more wrecks. Everyone tailgates and they drive about 80 mph
People down here in FL think the turn signal is a car design. They are worse here than Connecticut.
@@Cassie4486 I love the way they make a left hand turn from the middle lane
Merging traffic does not have right-of-way , and they need to crack down on this
Lady at end skipped class in middle school to watch cars. How the heck were you able to skip middle school?
That is what I said when this happened. Some dork in a car drove into the truck. But the news industry blamed the truck driver. "TRUCK ACCIDENT".
Soooo, what your telling me is that this catastrophy was completely preventable? Just like 99% of all collisions?
1:50 There's an "upstanding citizen" someone admitting they used to skip MIDDLE SCHOOL...............and smirking about it.
What's with the woman at 0:32 and again at 1:14 wearing the red/white checked jacket smiling/grinning from ear to ear while describing the horrific scene of destruction?
Some people do get “camera shy” and smiling can be a nervous reaction to be on the spotlight.
I live one mile from this exit, it is a major junction for Rt. 7 N + Rt 7 S + 95 N . You have traffic entering and exiting from the same lane and it can be a real challenge on heavy traffic days(everyday) I doubt that was the cause as much as it was some Ahole doing 90 in his BMW weaving in and out of lanes with zero concern for anyone!! Common place. We are used to this though, in the 70's a section of bridge collapsed one night into the river below killing 3, even then US1 was an absolute nightmare for months, Amazing that they will have 95 up and running by Monday or Tuesday (no paving in the rain) Just incredible. Give credit where credit is due!!
I was wrong, it was that one lane used to both enter and exit that started a chain reaction!! I travel that 5 times a week. Glad I know the back roads( NO TRUCKS due to low bridge under passes)
Why don't people know how to merge? Why don't they know who has the right of way in such a situation. Are so many drivers that stupid?
Who is the newscaster in blue? 😍
lol the last interviewee (skipping school in middle school.) wow. Just say you hung out don’t tell the world about skipping school just last year.
just remember, you can't make gasoline less flamable and still work in an engine.
You are a genius. Wow i didnt know any of that.
Often come across people who have no idea how to merge. First rule GET UP TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. These people who come onto the highway at 40 mph and try to merge into 55 mph traffic cause endless problems. You should be doing the speed of traffic at the top of the ramp. Same rule when leaving the highway, you should be at the speed of traffic at the top of the ramp and decelerate on the ramp, not before. That's why we have ramps.
Is there a commercial trucker that hauls gasoline that can answer a question because I’m wondering if there was possibility the truck driver could’ve moved ahead to not burn down the bridge I’m not blaming the driver, but if he had to get out in a hurry, I can understand that as well just asking a question
great work, impressive
Hmm! Bet the state sued the trucking company for repairs to the bridge just as the state of California did yrs ago to a similar accident dealing with a fuel truck which caused a fire underneath a bridge on Hwy #60 in Pomana! #SMH 🙄
Did I do that?
Charges against the entitled driver.
the overpass is a fond memory lmao.
Illegals up there too.... damn.
They were Caucasians with White European surnames, pal.
@@FRANCISPOLLARD-r3pTrumptards everwhere bet u ain't even American
@@FRANCISPOLLARD-r3p why my comments get deleted you snowflakes hate truth
@chrisniner8672. You’re probably one of those who live in the South and does not know New Mexico is in United States. Did you even know that Mexico had land all the way up north to include California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, most of Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming? Do you even refer Canadians as illegals? I bet you you never have huh? Get real dude.
@@M00NCHILD57 wow...have you heard of the Dunning Kruger effect? You just proved it. I live in New Mexico. Try not to be too ignorant in public.
I hope the driver of the tanker ok
i sure hope that four wheeler faces lawsuits as the truckers wouldve had they been the cause of it
That’s why I got off the road three years ago they will take the chrome off your bumper to get off that exit
Everybody’s on their phones I even follow people with laptops on there steering wheel
Bridges sure do have issues on the I-95
?
The bridge did not have a issue a gasoline tanker on fire under it had a issue
Not the bridge’s fault!!l. People just drive like idiots everywhere!
woman driver merge fail?
Good luck everybody else!
Suspended license
Is she wearing a bed sheet?😂
Merge is 2 minus 1. That kind of maths is way too hard for americans.
The driver was an illegal immigrant 💯
Modern day Americans drive almost as recklessly as illegals. So that’s not saying much.
of the beemer?
No accident
The DOT said that this work will be done by Monday, 6 May, no way is that possible! PennDot (Pennsylvania) took a little longer to replace and repair the overpass that was severely damaged by a fuel tanker that blew up under the overpass, but they did a phenomenal job repairing it temporarily, got 95 North reopened in days? I forget how long it took them, but it was quick, certainly not over the weekend though.
Maybe that’s what it will be as well; temporarily to keep traffic flowing until it’s all completed. We all know it will be an extensive repair with months of work.
Why are people even living in Norwalk? 😂
Why does anyone live in Gaza?
The trucker could have let them in, but truckers don't do that.
As the driver entering the freeway, it is their responsibility to merge safely into traffic. Divers on the freeway have no responsibility to move or slow down for incoming vehicles. If possible I will move into the N-1 lane. In fact in urban areas I generally drive in the N-1 lane.
Years ago I had an elderly woman merge into traffic. Right into the side of my equipment/car trailer. The merge destroyed her car. Two flat tyres, and a 2” gash the full length of the left side of the car. I had to pry the fender away from the tyres on the trailer. Someday I will get around to replacing the fender. The comment of the CHP officer was it was time for her to stop driving.
Trucks can neither stop quickly, speed up quickly, nor veer out of the way quickly. This is basic physics
It's geniuses like you that are cutting trucks off and pulling out in front of them doing 2 MPH. 🙄
Maybe the trucker didn’t have the chance with idiot drivers, especially brake checkers pulling their bullshit games. And don’t stereotype all truckers.
People are too inpatient when it comes to traffic. Making reckless maneuvers just to get around traffic, that’s why every time I drive to Chicago from Laporte Indiana, I see at least 3 different accidents.
These people don’t know how to merge or yield
Thats what happens when you dont yield to a vehicle bigger than you didnt work out so good for anyone carelessness
Today the people with the merge sign think they have the right away and you should move over for them. It’s unbelievable how stupid drivers are today.
