Truck driver and Officer are okay! Overall, was not truck drivers fault!
👍💯%
If the trucker had the green light it is likely that the left turn lane was also green . You notice that with high volume left turn lane intersections.
glad cop is ok. I disagree with u, driver should had been alert to lights and sirene of cops intentions. No different than moving over for them. Just my opinion.
True.. but if thr driver heard the sirens.. he may not have seen the kights u til he got to the intersection in which was around the same time as the trooper... truck may have been trying to clear the intersection... however troopers are also trained to slow down at intersections and make sure they are clear each way... this trooper never cleared the intersection... he blew straight through it
Glad everyone is ok. Bad day for both but now that bad day is over.
Pain may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning!
I was in law enforcement for 10years….this is 100% that Troopers fault. You never go through a red light without slowing/ stopping to make sure you clear the intersection.
Thanks for the insight
Yup....
Troopers fault.
Glad to hear he has recovered.
Thanks for your service 🙏 👍 🙌
I’ve noticed officers always doing that always kind of wondered if that was a policy but now that you’re saying it makes sense Obviously, the officer was probably just had his adrenaline going, and was trying to go help his colleague and just got too much of a rush. Just a bad situation.
Thank you for your service.
I wonder how these idiots feel now knowing the truck driver did have the green light and the cop was at fault
Cop clearly to blame.
If the Cop didn't turn on his noise siren to alarm everyone just his lights that's his fault what I saw I the vid there is sound and I didn't hear no noise.
What the reaction time of vechile at 70 mph or a semi at 45 mph
@anthonysaradpon6191 regardless, the cop should've stopped at the red light to make sure the intersection was clear, that's basic EMV Driver training
Truck was already in motion for those of you that have never driven a semi truck we can’t stop on a dime like maybe a car , the trooper should have been a little more careful just cause they have lights and sirens dose not give them the right to drive carelessly,
More and more of them think it does.
MAJOR FACTS
Having driven emergency vehicles and tractor trailers, that truck driver likely didn't hear the trooper's siren until right before the impact, far too late to do anything, and with the trooper reportedly traveling at 70 mph the driver likely didn't even have the opportunity to clearly see the lights until it was too late to do anything. In summary: not at fault, not preventable.
Every state where I have operated emergency vehicles has required that in order to proceed through a red light the driver of the emergency vehicle must do so with care and caution so as to not cause danger to others. At times, that has meant I needed to proceed through an intersection one lane at a time, waiting for the drivers who had the green signal to yield to my emergency vehicle before proceeding.
@@r2dbyeah but there is also zero reason for a high priority response like that when you're just a couple blocks away from an already contained situation. Guy chose to act like SGT Tim Bradford and wound up like Rookie Officer John Nolan
The cop is in the wrong even when lights they are supposed to make sure the intersection is clear
Stuff happens, the cop should have slowed down at the light. Not the truck driver's fault.
The opposite side traffic has a red because the truckers light has a green left arrow. Ive been to that intersection a 100 times
I saw this video before it was posted here. My wife and I agreed that the reflection on the cab of the truck and the turn arrow he had a green light. Officer is at fault for not slowing down before running a red light. Code 3 or not.
Cherries and berries going don't make you invincible. A cop running highspeed on surface streets in the city still has a responsibility to be aware of civilians and the dangers of possibly hitting and killing someone. Looking at the video the cruisers break lights didn't come on until about a second before impact. That tells me the cop wasn't even looking at the intersection and was distracted while driving at high speed. The cop didn't even see that HUGE truck crossing his path and that's why the cruiser hit the trailer a little past half way down. It's the cops fault hands down.
A truck driver is also responsible for watching for emergency and police vehicles at an intersection. And since the light was red in the truck driver's lane? The truck driver's at fault for the accident.
@@earlputnal9124it wasn’t red in his lane lmao
@@pacable9700 When you see flashing lights or hear a siren from any emergency vehicle? The regulations require you stop until they've gone through the intersection. No excuses.
@@earlputnal9124 look how far back he was by time he would be able to see the police officer he wouldn’t be able to stop in time and also a lot of officers use lights without the siren
Cops fault
All emergency response vehicles that are running lights and sirens MUST yield at all red lights and stop signs.
to find video put "Dashcam video shows DPS State Trooper slam into 18-wheeler near Katy Freeway" in RUclips search.
Car had a red light only a protected right turn arrow! Trucker had green through light!!
Maybe the dumb truck drivers who think this crash was the Amazon driver's fault should be fired themselves, and NEVER allow them to serve on a jury either.
😂😂😂 Facts
Eh, everyone overreacts from time to time. The trucker didn't get charged with anything so no skin off anyone's ass, no harm no foul. Hope the trooper makes it, I'm no bootlicker but to be run over by a big rig is rough
I agree with you 100%. I absolutely love patience with all of the stupid ass truck drivers we have on the road now
@@_Clem_H_Fandango_ You were probably one of the dumb*** that commented about trucker running a red light.
😂😂😂😂😂
Have you seen the way Amazon truckers drive? I’m just saying, I drive from Baltimore to Richmond and back, every night in my daycab and there are two company drivers I’ve learned to just stay out of there way. Amazon and carvana. They are the most aggressive unsafe drivers I’ve ever seen.
Hell, only last month I was involved in a hit and run where and Amazon driver through a water bottle at my window, side swiped me and took off over the bridge into VA….What did I do you might ask to deserve this? I moved to the left lane in a two lane, to avoid a broken down truck on the right lane shoulder, when Amazon was 4 truck lengths behind me in the right.
The truck had a green light the cop runs a red light and they want the driver in trouble
The reflection on the trailer, the truck driver had a green light. The officer went through a red light. The truck driver was let go with no charges because he was innocent. We hope the trooper comes through this as well. Doesn’t have any life affecting injuries.
Yeah, that exact thing was pointed out in the video. Thanks for letting us know..
Police officer was going to fast for road conditions
Im pretty sure those amazon guys are going around 55 mph so this guy should should not be at fault. Cops need to slow The F!@# down while going through a intersection...its common sense.
So many lives put at risk because of one person’s foolish decision.
good comment, you will get likes from both the people thinking you mean the amazon driver, as well as the cop :D
@@koolerstream921 I'm guessing NEITHER--I'm guessing they meant the woman running from cops...
@@georgiapatriot4575 alright so they will get likes from all three parties.
@@koolerstream921I’m speaking on the driver with 5 other people in the car first. You can have the likes.
@@georgiapatriot4575exactly, 6 in the car. Whoever’s already there chasing her. The truck driver and the officer responding. Crazy chain reaction.
1. The truck driver had the green light. You can see the green reflection on the top of his truck
2. Trooper by law has to use due regard and stop for his red light and clear the intersection before proceeding.
3. End of story
People with selective memory. Obviously people never drove a truck. A commercial truck cannot stop on a dime. That was the cops fault negligence on the cop. Smh some people IQ level is 1% everybody want to blame the truck driver😮 does not matter what the cop was chasing. It's the cops fault.
3:47 The interviewed officer mistakenly said the the truck, struck the officers vehicle 😮
Yep
Mistakenly on purpose!
Cops lie. They're practicing to be biden's cabinet members!
That wasn’t a ‘’mistake’’. They’ll say that until they can’t anymore.
He meant to say what he said
Police cop fault,
I seem many times police getting a call and they always slow down the speed in the intersections.
So this was one of those reckless cop.
The cop never slowed down plus he ran a red light damaging the trailer
I am a retired police sergeant. I also have a CDL-A license. The bottom line here is the Trooper was a fault. In my state, I can't speak for Texas, a police vehicle on an emergency run may disregard traffic signals and signs, provided the driver of that vehicle is in control of their vehicle. If an accident happens it is presumed the officer was not in control of the vehicle. Busting a red light at a major intersection at 70 MPH is not in control of your vehicle. I am glad the trooper survived his injuries, but he should face disciplinary action due to this accident.
Glad there is cameras now a day.. otherwise it would have been blamed on the little guy.
I never ignore cross traffic! I don’t have time for repairs. Lites sirens or regular civilian- let them go!
This so-called trooper had zero regard for anybody's safety but his own
Good catch. The cop having only right green follows from the truck having both green and left green.
First question should be: Did the State Trooper have its sirens on? I sure didn’t hear em other than driver flipping out.
It doesn't make a difference if he had his siren on or not. If cop, fire truck, ambulance runs a red light and hits another vehicle or person it's their fault. They all can disregard traffic laws while responding lights / siren ie run a red light BUT they must use due regard for public safety. Cop's fault all day long.
Usually emergency vehicles slow as they approach an intersection and sound there siren.
Your looking at all lights red in your lane. The truck driver is facing all green lights, including the left turn lane, which is why the green arrow is illuminated for the right turn. The right turn signal you see will turn off at the same time as the left turn signal facing the truck driver turn off. In Texas you may turn right on red after a complete stop. The green arrow lets you know that the right turn is protected and therefore you can roll through on the right turn. This relieves congestion of the intersection. The truck driver was in the right.
Man Alex. You slacking. This happened awhile back. Thanks for putting awareness out there
Yeah video is going viral on social media with no context and everyone is saying the trucker ran the red light. So had to jump in and get the details
@@MuthaTrucker and your surprised? That’s the world we live in nowadays. People quick to jump to conclusions. Just like that recent subway shooting. Media quickly making the guy who was minding his business the bad guy. I live in Texas and know how traffic lights work. Most cities lights turn green for both sides.
@@MuthaTruckerslacking 🤔
I don't think so 😊
Keep up the good work 👏 🙌
@@AlexM.. So we gotta do our best to change it don't you think?
Classic failure of govts presumed authority!
With or without having their lights on HPD, Harris Sheriff, TX DPS always going 20+ over the posted speed limit, I see that chit all the time on 59, 99, 290, 8, 249.
Thanks for pointing out the details now the video is in different context
Np. Hard to see from a quick clip
As a trucker who's been trucking with a safe and clean driving record after 24 years,I can't express enough the Importance and the Benefits to Memorize,Learn and Apply the Five Key Steps in the Smith Driving System.
It not only protects you as a professional driver, It helps save the lives of others and first responders who are also professional drivers as well.
Even if that light was green when that amazon driver approached and crossed over the white line, he should have gotten the Big Picture of what was happening in that intersection way back before approaching and been prepared to Leave Himself An Out.
On top of that, the State Trooper had his Emergency Lights🚨 on and approached the intersection with his Siren 📢 activated.
It was nighttime, and that driver should have seen the Trooper's Red,White, and Blue's ahead of the intersection and Heard his Loud Sirens.
Under Texas law you are mandated to yield the right of way to all emergency vehicles running with emergency lights🚨
Therefore, the accident was preventable and the Amazon Driver is at Fault..
Well done sir. Way to look beyond the first thing seen
😇
surprised and glad at the same time they didn't say the driver was at fault cause cop had his lights going
Just stupid people would believe that was the amazon driver fault, that was the police fault 100%, period!
Whoa. If the traffic light was red in the truck driver's direction? The truck driver is at fault. And the driver should've gotten cited and DUI tested. And after the conclusion of the incident. The driver needed to submit a drug test within the next 8 hours of the finality of this incident.
We always get blamed for what 4 wheelers do. I'm glad for dash cams cus this really needs to stop! Some of us truckers are actually safe drivers!
He sent a look at his section before he proceeded through there. That’s his fault. He hit that truck at truck driver needs a stand up for yourself.
Some typos here but I think I agree with what u were trying to say
Amazon will throw him under the bus.
Ever notice how they always want the cameras pointed IN and not OUT?
That’s ALL companies!
If you are a driver, get a dashcam.
If the company don’t allow it, QUIT.
Regardless if the trucker has a green light and the officer had a red light…police vehicles with their emergency lights on shouldn’t have to stop at red lights. And if the truck driver is coming up on an intersection, he/she is supposed to start checking right and left for any hazards regardless if they have a green light. So in my opinion and knowledge of of the CDL Handbook, there is enough to reasonably have that trucker fired and/or convicted for “failure to obey traffic controlled device”, which emergency vehicle (paramedics, firefighters and law enforcement) lights falls under.
It’s the woman who was running away, is at fault .
I haul for Amazon and be honest, many shhhh driving fast like rocket. Million accidents inside Amazon yard. Amazon never said a word.
Hold my hat Junior. I had a flashback to Smoky and The Bandit when Sheriff Buford T. Justice of Texas and his Son went under a Semi. 😅
When I seen this video I was saying whoever thought it was the truck driver fault couldn’t be a truck driver
You are right the truck light was GREEN and the cop's light was RED.
If this happened in Connecticut, fifty cars with flashing lights would swarm the highway and close it down for three days while they dragged the trucker off in leg irons and took apart his rig piece by piece. The poor local bank robbers, human traffickers and drug dealers would be forced to use secondary roads. It's an outrage!
Was an ambulance driver for many many years and the one thing we always had remember is lights and Sirens made of okay for us to break the laws but if we had an accident when doing so it was our fault. Lots of people are going to go off and call me crazy but there's only one vehicle that truly has the right away at all times and that one vehicle is the US mail😂
“The truck driver was ok” made me lol
I’ve was in law enforcement for some time. Just because you are running lights and sirens doesn’t mean you automatically get the right of way. It’s called due regard. When you get to an intersection with lights and sirens, you are REQUESTING the right of way. You have to clear each intersection and make sure not to get tunnel vision.
Trooper should have slowed wayyy down in an intersection like that, what if there was a pedestrian crossing. YOU ALWAYS SLOW DOWN TO CLEAR AN INTERSECTION ALWAYS!!!
This is what happens when your above the law!
Correction officer the Commercial vehicle was struck by the trooper Not the other way around if you gone tell the story tell it correctly This exactly why I wait a few seconds when I get a green light You never know
I'm surprised the truck didn't had a dash cam
Even if a police officer is running hot (with lights and sirens activated)they still have to abide by the traffic laws the trooper was at fault no question
From what it sounds like in the video it sounds like the officer didn’t have a siren on just the lights. The truck driver definitely wasn’t enough fault I’m paying for the officer to be OK. He was just trying to do his job and make it to help her colleague, it just sucks they blame truck drivers for everything. Just a bad situation. Hopefully everyone’s OK.
Everyone lived
Glad to hear that keep up the good work brother your keeping us drivers informed out there!
That's why you should NEVER assume. Wait to get all the facts. To all that condemned the truck driver, maybe you should take your license test over again.
I saw green arrow light for right turn only. From other postings. My screen not big enough to see reflection of color of light on windshield of the semi....?
The reflection is in the trailer, not tractor
@@johnnycray4427 I'm looking at on my phone. I assumed on a bigger screen the color of the control signal would be visible. Thank you for confirmation it is visible reflecting back to the camera system.
Why didnt the police have his sirens on when he was running a red light. The truck driver had a green light and his direction of traffic also had a green left turn light.
I had seen this video like sometime last year or so I believe, the DPS trooper failed to yield or stop at the intersection before proceeding through the intersection, its something there supposed to do always
A real driver (trucker or not) would of seen both sides red and instantly noticed the green arrow on the left. I saw it immediately.
Best part was when the cop said "not sure about the trooper that was struck by the commercial vehicle"
There needs to be a study to see if a semi can stop on a nickel. It's slightly larger than a dime. If not, perhaps a quarter
The person who should be blamed for this accident is the lady
No they don’t the office did not clear the intersection first . Period this is coming from a retired deputy
Did you hear about the truck driver in Louisiana getting arrested and charge in Louisiana from 8 people got killed on i 55
I’m a little surprised that so many people are unfamiliar with this type of intersection. The lights we saw were red because of the traffic coming the other way had the right away for left turns as well as straight through the intersection.
However, you don’t have to take my word for it. You can just read the police report.
Doesn’t matter if siren was on. Doesn’t matter anything! The law enforcement officer is supposed to stop or ATTEMPT to come to a clear and reasonable stop BEFORE proceeding to travel thru the intersection. This is so the officer can ensure that it is safe to travel thru and continue to their destination. This is a common standard practice/policy in many law enforcement agencies. This is taught to all officers with their field training officer day 1.
I would say the fault is on both parties simply for awareness. Whether the light was green, or police lights were flashing both police officers, as well as commercial vehicle operators should always be extremely aware. I took my CDL test about seven years ago. I don’t know how things are now, but I was drilled into paying attention, and I’m sure it’s the same with law enforcement.
Either the officer turned on the cherries and berries right before the intersection or the lights were obscured.
There wasn’t any time to stop for the truck driver. They could’ve tried but then still would have been struck in the battery box or driver side fuel tank.
If you roll through the beginning of the footage you’ll notice the cops lights flashing on the sign. Truck was rolling too fast to even make an abrupt stop.
How can a truck that big be able to stop and go to the side of the road!
Hard to say who's at fault. I drove emergency vehicles for years, and we were trained to be sure that intersections were clear before going through them. Yes, the troopers lights were on, but was the siren activated?
Did you notice how the trooper was already setting the stage to fight the “ who’s at fault “ claims buy saying the commercial vehicle struck the trooper 🤣. I’m glad everyone is ok but the finger pointing is already starting.
Oh yeah!!!
Even thou the cop had his code equipment on, he should have slowed down and possibly stop to make sure he had control of the intersection before going through....
I drove an ambulance in a big city so I know what first responders are supposed to do when running code...
Glad the truck driver wasn't at fault....and they both were OK...
Was the out of state tags the trigger
This officer here talking look familiar to another bad accident seen he had to go to. A few years back. A truckdriver wasn't paying attention and cost bad injuries to a woman and couple of children.
Man , the cop had to have his eyes close.
Truck driver had the green, so he's got the right of way. It doesn't matter that the cop has his emergency lights and (maybe) siren activated, that doesn't give the cop the right to just fly through the intersection. The cop MUST slow down, ensure that it is safe to do so, THEN (and only then) can the cop proceed through the red light with the emergency lights and siren activated. The cop obviously did not do this, and he's at fault., not the truck driver.
As a driver that's always estimating other vehicles speed for safety. I will guess that Leo speed was more in the 20-40 mph at impact. No where near 70mph. That would have made a convertible out of that suv with a different outcome.
If that truck was speeding up to 30 mins before impact or if the T/T had any defects, or if the driver was not fit to drive guess who you get the tickets
if you hear anytype of sirens you as a driver suppose to stop look and see where its coming from just because you got the green don,t mean crap read your manuel the cop should had slowed down but you as a truck driver should know better this is your career
This is a very difficult one to call but truck driver was coming like crazy before the crash
You always have to look both ways crossing an intersection with a green light , that’s just to protect yourself …. In Texas the emergency vehicles always have right of way especially with sirens and lights on… mothatruckin I respect you for having our backs but today I believe this could’ve been avoided if the driver would’ve looked he would’ve seen lights and a state trooper hauling ass
The truck had a green, you can see the reflection of the green signal off the windshield in the video
The officer had a responsibility to ignore signals while running at code in a contienous manner.
Look when you take your driving test to get your cdl and when u come up to a light ur gotta look both ways and u gotta watch for emergency vehicles. Even tho the trooper had a red light the trucker should have seen him coming and slow down
Trucker had the green light. Cop is in the wrong
The first green light you mentioned is for drivers to turn right. I live close to the area.
Not blaming the driver. Clearly the officer lack caution. How did the amazon driver not see those disco lights flashing in that dark ?
It is easy to assume that the light in front of you is red so oncoming traffic will have a green light as well. The officer is not supposed to be flying through intersections blindly at high speeds.
Amazon are the worst drivers
BUT !! thats not the point here !
@@michaelsorrentino9279 but still, I'm just pointing out a fact
Every cop n new Mexico is headed east on i40 I've drove 100 miles there still coming
😂 shows video cop about to crash 'OH' intro music starts😅
Cops make mistakes to. When police are going through intersections, they're supposed to slow down n clear the intersection. Now in Los Angeles usually 2 police cars will slow down and block the intersection while the other patrol cars go through the intersection then at the next intersection the units the went through the last intersection block the intersection for the other patrol cars. Team work
Us Law says emergency vehicles must use lights and sirens to pass thru intersections but he must use due regard. It is absoutley the polices fault...
At 70 miles per hour, you can cover a huge distance. The trucker did not have a chance to react at that speed. Cops always reduce their speed when approaching an intersection in a high-speed chase.
I think he was ready for questioning to be over 😂😂😂😂
😂🤣😬
What's the policy for police officers in that city for speeding?
And that people is how bacon is made!
