8 years in prison for killing 4 people by drinking & driving and going through a red light. That is a pathetic injustice to the victims. What the hell was wrong with the judge in this case?
Sadly, the sentence was made lighter because the other driver was also impaired and he pled guilty (which may have led to a lower charge such as negligent driving causing death or similar charge). Combining that the sentence is made lighter.
Only one victim. It was the 2 year old. The other drunk knew they were both drunk and should of never gotten in the car. The parents were stupid as fuck for not buckling their baby in the car seat. They wanted to wait until driving so far before crashing to buckle that baby in. Nah fuck that. There's only one victim that lost their lives that day.
Actually, depending if the drunk driver has a record or not, if he didn’t have a record then that sentence does fit. As sad as that is to say, the justice system is very fucked up in the United States. But the other driver was also impaired by doing math, so at the end of the day they were both at fault however way you look at it whether he ran the light or not neither of them should have been behind the wheel of a car. The baby was the only innocent one And depending on when the accident happened, car seats were different back in the day and some children could unbuckle themselves. That is why the mom was turned around and unbuckled because she was going to fix the baby who was not in the car seat properly which by unbuckling her self, she made a bad decision that ultimately killed her and her child
Traci Forsythe to be fair the other party did not properly ensure safety. Would you go on a roller coaster with no brace ? Nope ! Same here. If they had there seatbelt on then even if they died he could he charged more time.
My no,1 piece of advice at a red light is before you take off at the green look both directions to make sure all approaching cars are stopped or stopping. Green lights don't make you safe being observant of others on the road keeps you safe.
In Montana, there were ads about wearing a seatbelt. A grandfather and his granddaughter went for a ride in winter. The girl had a seatbelt on, but the grandfather did not. He hit a patch of ice and lost control. The granddaughter survived the crash itself, but she was killed because the grandfather was thrown around because he did not have a seatbelt on, and he hit the poor girl causing her to die.The ad was based on a true story.
tracy 511 he should’ve gotten way more than 8 years he killed 4 people. The dad had drugs in his system but he didn’t run the red light the other guy did. But the baby should’ve been in a car seat and they all should’ve had seatbelts on
The problem is that if the SUV driver had swerved to the left to avoid the motorcycle (especially on a curve), he would have ended up going the wrong way in the opposing lane(s) of traffic, and - unable to see around the curvature of the road - could have had a frontal collision with another vehicle. Worse, it’s at night, and a motorcycle can look like an ordinary motor vehicle with one burnt-out headlamp... until you’re right on top of it. I believe even a professional driver would have a hard time avoiding this collision once the bike went down and skidded into its path.
I think it has to do with the fact that it was originally shown on network TV with commercials and the repeating is to bring the viewers back to the story after each commercial. But editing could certainly clean it up for us RUclips viewers.
My first car was a Mustang, I drove it 9 years until my daughter was born. I traded it for a 4 door chevy. I did not want to drive my baby around in a "sports car"....... it had little crash protection, I wanted something safer.
Even my micro preemie two year old is bigger and more little boyish than that baby. Also, the baby on this video looks like a boy, not a girl. Usually they try to have a four year old play the part of a two year old, but this is just silly.
I hate when I see kids not safely seated . I be seeing kids up in the parents face from the back seat when I’m stopped at a light . It’s ridiculous. Like you could be an accident at ANYTIME !
In Australia, seatbelts are a must for everyone (especially kids). Unfortunately Americans I've heard don't usually wear seatbelts even if the law is enforced. I think increasing the fine like we do should sort this out
Little Amy was in a car seat, but not buckled in. What shocked me more was that none of the dead victims nor the surviving driver were wearing seatbelts. It was so sad when the investigators said they hoped the broken rear window of the sports car was not the result of little Amy being thrown from the car. 👼😔😭
Motorcycle Tyres. Looking at the tyres in the video, you will see that they are BRAND NEW All tyres are treated with a substance which makes them look "polished".This is a preservative for the rubber when stored before being sold/used. They also have the little "wear" bobbles on them. (I always called them whiskers) When buying new tyres the salesman will tell you to stay at a slowish speed for at least 100 miles. This will get the tyres scrubbed in and safer to go a bit fast..As it happens, that type of motorbike is NOT designed to "lean" into corners/bends. There is very little space between the undercarriage of the bike and the road. Probably 6-8 inches at a guess? As a matter of interest, the contact area of a tyre on the road is no larger than the sole part of a shoe/boot.(Hopefully a boot!) Unless it was proven that the tyres had actually been treated with a substance by the rider to make them look shiny, I don't believe that they were.
Shocking... The only innocent is the todler. Daddy's strung out on drugs. Mummy and daddy don't put todler in a car seat. And a drunk driver runs a red light, lies about it. And kills four people, and only gets 8 years in prison. Shocking justice. Shocking circumstances. All adults completely irresponsible. ....
This program is done very poorly. There was no indication family members were aware of arguing in the car. There were numerous inconsistencies. The difference in types of car. They are showing a baby when the child was a toddler. The entire program was Poorly done.
Isn't it fucking infuriating that the drunk driver is never the one who dies? (Well, it feels like it's like that in about 90% of cases at least) They drink and drive, act super irresponsibly, and ruin countless lives...and then get to be the sole survivor.
I hate what he said at the end about "no true accident". If that's the case then accident might as well not be a word because every "accident", on or off the road, is caused by people making mistakes or not paying attention. Accident simply means that they didn't do it on purpose, with intent.
J Anything Your right there But also people make choices As well like choosing to take something and drive Or choosing not to put a selt belt on I think it depends fully on the situation at the time
@Lady Jupiter Well no, because they didn't get in with the intent to kill someone. Yes, they got in and were aware of the risk of drunk driving for themselves and others (at least I sure hope so) but they didn't purposefully kill someone.
@Allan Hunter accident /ˈaksɪd(ə)nt/ noun 1. an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury. "he had an accident at the factory" 2. an event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause. "the pregnancy was an accident"
When there is an aviation accident, there is a long investigation to find out exactly what happened. Once the cause is found, the NTSB makes recommendations for changes in the laws that govern aviation, in the hope of preventing the cause of that kind of accident. If those changes are made aviation becomes that much safer. Changes have been made in pilot training, aircraft design and maintenance, how air traffic is managed on the ground and in the air. As a result, something that is, on the face of it very dangerous (hurtling through the air at hundreds of miles per hour) is in fact, the safest way to travel. We could do the same for driving, but we hardly ever do. What is the point of investigating traffic accidents if we won't make changes to the law to make driving safer? Granted, if those changes are made, 15%-20% of driver will no longer be able to qualify for a driver's license, but these are the worst 20% of drivers out there. Do you *REALLY* want to keep letting them drive? I'm talking about those people who text while driving, drive drunk, or fly into a rage because someone cut them off.
Eric Taylor, unlike air accidents, most road accidents are caused by operator error. Since most drivers (something like 80%) consider themselves to be above average drivers, whch is a statistical and logical impossibility, I suspect there is no political will to implement the kind of road safety and vehicle training to make a difference in operator behavior. You can’t even get Americans to agree to be required to carry health insurance so everyone can be insured. There is virtually no way citizens would tolerate a regulatory regime that would improve road safety.
@@inkyguy "unlike air accidents, most road accidents are caused by operator error." I think you meant "like" not unlike. Most air accidents are caused by pilot error as well.
To be absolutely fair, they HAVE done certain things to combat drunk driving / texting while driving, maybe not so much road rage yet but the other two absolutely. The changes weren't implemented via requiring certain new things - because HOW can additional training / laws really prevent this? It simply can't without so much intrusion that it's not worth it. They have added texting and driving laws in nearly every state, and in VA it is illegal to even hold your phone while driving with a few exceptions (mostly GPS-related). But what they HAVE done is educate and focus on these issues. When drunk driving crashes spiked, we began advertising TV commercials, putting the dangers of drunk driving in education classes, and more, it's all over, and in turn, drunk driving crashes began to go down. They are doing the same thing with texting and driving - signs are everywhere, it's advertised not to do it, and they hammer it in your head not to do it in schools. As such, the rates have went down.
@@erictaylor5462 I disagree with that very strongly... Weather is literally to blame in many airplane crashes. Arguably, you could put the blame on the pilot for deciding to fly that day....but hindsight 20/20, it's easy to go back on somebody's decision and say "Well he shouldn't have flown that day" after it's all said and done, but he obviously felt at the time that it was safe enough to go, for example. The fact is, mistakes happen and are part of human nature - and all of nature, because NOTHING is perfect. To dismiss something as an accident simply because 100% of everything was not perfect, to me, is a bit unfair, because not even a machine could live up to those standards. Accidents DO happen, even when mistakes are involved, because humans ARE prone to mistakes. And when you're talking about making a split-moment judgment call where you only get a few seconds to decide the fate of your life or potentially others...That's quite unfair to say "Well they should have done the RIGHT thing and turned LEFT instead or RIGHT" when, under that kind of pressure, some people would just freeze entirely... Personally, I think intention is what decides if it's an accident. Did they INTEND to crash? If so, then no, it's not an accident. But if it's not intended, then it's an accident. Otherwise, what do you call a car crash / plane crash? It certainly isn't a kamikaze. The reason we call it an accident even when a human makes a mistake that could be preventable is because we UNDERSTAND that humans are flawed and it's IMPOSSIBLE no matter how much you try to be perfect in every way. To say "no such thing as an accident" - I could only agree with that statement if Humans were *normally* perfect 24/7 - but the fact is, humans are NOT normally perfect, we are imperfect and we make wrong calls and have lapses in judgment - it's the human condition, but really, it affects everything and everyone, because nothing is perfect.
@@WildWombats "they HAVE done certain things to combat drunk driving / texting while driving, maybe not so much road rage yet but the other two absolutely." After the Titanic struck the ice burg they did something about the ship flooding. They turned on pumps to full power and closed doors isolating the flooding sections of the ship. But this was not enough to prevent the ship sinking. Granted, they could not have done more at the time, but after that disaster, they did do more. They improved ship design to prevent over topping of the water tight compartments, and they added more pumps. In addition, they changed the laws requiring enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew. "The changes weren't implemented via requiring certain new things - because HOW can additional training / laws really prevent this? It simply can't without so much intrusion that it's not worth it." Yes, they are. There is a lot more that can be done. First, improve driver training. Require new drivers to receive training from professional teachers. This will prevent parents teaching their kids their own bad habits. On top of this, require practical driving tests even for experienced drivers to spot and correct bad habits. Next, improve the laws to revoke the license of the worst drivers. Make the drunk driving laws much more harsh to keep drunk drivers off the road permanently. This woman got 10 years in prison for her *SECOND* serious drunk driving accident where 2 people were left permanently disabled. In her first accident she *KILLED* someone and got only 2 years. If she had gotten 10 years for the first accident *AND* was never allowed to drive again, those two people would not have been hurt. How can that not be worth it? Accidents are going to happen. That is just a fact of life, but most accident can be prevented if more care is taken. It doesn't matter if you intended to crash if you are being careless or reckless. I'm sure this woman didn't intend to crash, but she certainly intended to drink and drive, and that is why she is guilty of a crime.
I'm not sure I agree with the "definitive" findings on the first one. The green light was green when the bulb was broken. However, it must have taken at least 2-3 seconds (perhaps more) for the collision to occur, the car to be pushed into the pole, and the top of the pole to fall to the ground and break. That makes it possible that the drunk driver actually entered the intersection when his light was yellow, or possibly even green depending on the length of the yellow at that intersection. I have seen MANY drivers "time" their entry into an intersection for the instant their light turns green, which is extremely dangerous, because it means you can be entering an intersection at 25-30 mph (just like the father), at the same time a car in the cross-traffic direction is in the intersection trying to beat the yellow. If you mis-time it (which is quite possible when driving sober, much less impaired), you might actually enter a split second before it actually turns green. In the situation in the video, Alex Rogers could actually have entered the intersection on the red, while Lowery had the yellow. However, by the time the collision occurred, the car was pushed into the pole, and the pole fell all the way to the ground, the light had turned to green. There's no excuse for driving drunk, and I'm glad Lowery faced punishment, but it's possible that it happened that way.
I too was thinking this. But we will never truly know. Neither shouldve been driving to make us question this. Either way. I feel bad for thr child who shouldve been in her seat right. Not two drivers under the influence. Especially the one driving his unbuckled daughter. Sad but so very avoidable
8 yrs was NOT enough for all those deaths. the other driver was also impaired, however they weren't driving in such a way that they did anything wrong. only going 25 miles an hour and having the right of way - the entire fault is on the one that ran the red light and hit them!
My grandmother and another lady were killed by a drunk driver in 1979. The guy jumped bond. Never see a day in prison. Because of statue of limitations. His life sentence, living with the rest of his life. Guy deserves to thrown under the jail. Never drink and drive.
@@itsjuliam -That stinks. Sorry for your loss. Know both drivers will have to live with it the rest of their lives. These people get behind the wheels risk a lot lives. Prayers. God bless.
The man that was killed due to the slick tires was murdered. I don't understand why they didn't do any investigation on his wife. This guy was at motorcycle enthusiast, in my opinion there would be no way that this man would do that, he knew that would be just like committing suicide. Also the man had been riding all day wouldn't it have happened earlier than it did
Kevin Rogers parents & family should be VERY PROUD of the son they raised. Kevin not only was he ILLEGALLY not wearing his seat belt but he was also had used an illegal drug, operated his vehicle illegally being under the influence of an illicit substance with his baby daughter in the car and NO one seat belted in. Killing both his wife & baby what a GREAT father & husband. What a disgusting example of a human being. His parents taught him well............. I NEVER will understand how a parent can have so little LOVE & RESPECT for their children by refusing to make sure they are safe at ALL times when in a vehicle. Forget that it is ILLEGAL. But ALL 4 Adults thought they were bullet proof & nothing would hurt them by refusing to buckle up. I have NO sympathy for Any of them or their families. Poor parenting all around. When kids know from DAY ONE that restraints are ALWAYS to been worn when in a vehicle they grow up automatically using correctly fitting restraints. My kids would even wear seats belts when driving around our ranch paddocks as do their children (who are all in High School) now. When my first baby was born in 1976, both my parents & 3 siblings vehicle ALL had baby seats in each vehicle for her (5 seats). We even took one baby seat when we flew to Calif in 1978 for a 6 week vacation. I was happy to take NO clothes (excess baggage) as long as my baby was safe while travelling.
so does that make them not accident investigators if there are no accidents? which btw there are accidents, like the brick that flew off a semi in Russia and went through a windshield and killed a lady. Im sure the truck driver didnt plan on that happening, in fact I dont think anyone save a few people have ever "planned' to have an accident.
@@SuperTamig preventable on one person's end... not preventable on another... thus an accident. Let's say you've got a seat belt on, you're going to the speed limit, you're doing EVERYTHING Right that the strictest driving instructor would say everything is fine. However, another car blazes through a red light as you're passing your green light and you're struck. While yes, the man who blazed through the red light had a driver error... It was totally and completely unavoidable for the driver who properly ran the green light and they did nothing wrong. On their end, surely you must consider it an accident, even if you consider the man who ran the red light not to be. further... we are humans, not machines, we're not perfect and we make mistakes, and even if we were machines, we'd still make mistakes because NOTHING in this world is perfect. To say "it's preventable" I think that's simply not true in every single situation - we are prone to errors, this is human nature, to write that off as not being an accident because you expect total perfection at all times 24/7 during everybody's life is just insane. The reason it's an accident is because we understand nothing and nobody is perfect, and unless you're actively seeking to crash your car into something or someone, it's an accident.... Nobody goes out saying "Oh boy, I can't wait to crash my car!!!" If it's not accidental, then it's intentional, and I guarantee you most of these crashes are not intentional. So I find that simply incorrect. Accidents DO happen. And you CAN make a mistake / have a driver error and it still be an accident - because intentions mean everything. All you get is a few seconds to react sometimes (or less) - and you're saying because they couldn't immediately identify the best way to handle the situation in a high-stress situation, that it was avoidable had they done something else in those last few seconds? It's easier to say that in hindsight. When you're in the moment, it seemed like the best or only option to you at the time. Humans make mistakes...and you can make mistakes and still call it an accident.
I am 78 y.o. When I was 2-6 or 7 y.o. my grandfather had a car with a 'dickey seat' and my cousin and I were regularly parked on it and told to sit still. But, of course, speeds were much lower then and there were far fewer cars anyway.
I rode standing up in the front seat of a 1962 Chevy II in the early 60s. I stood behind my Dad's right shoulder and there were no seat belts. 59 Years old and it was different times than today.
@@cydnicaldwell1337 Yes we are lucky we survived that time period. My grandmother had to the breaks hard one time and I hit the dash with my face. My chin was cut wide open.
@@pegs1659 i finally grew tall enough that I couldn't stand up anymore, but I clearly remember using the fold down arm rest in the center of my Great Uncle's car's backseat as a booster seat whenever we went out. So yeah, we've survived more things from our youth than today's children will never know the joys of doing.
@@marciawilheim3201 After reading your reply, it sparked a memory. I have heard it pronounced 'ash-fault' when we visited my cousins in Minnesota years ago. I remembered thinking that they were mispronouncing it but didn't want to say anything to hurt their feelings back then. 😆 I just looked it up and read where it was a common pronunciation in some parts of Canada and regions nearby.
I was taught that the rear center seat is the safest place for a properly restrained child seat to be installed. Perhaps it has been updated to rear passenger side more recently as my kiddos are all teens now. Just wanted to comment in the very slight possibility that it could help save a little one. ☹️🥺😭😭😭
@@stephaniebristow8937 I had my kids in the 90s and was told that not only are the rear passenger or driver seat safer, in some states it is/was illegal to put a car seat in the middle seat because the middle seat is completely open to the child being able to be more easily ejected through the windshield.
3:30 “...believes that one of the drivers must have tried to run a red light”. Well, I’d venture to say that one of them not only tried, but succeeded!
Oh dear. They stated that the motorcyclist was coming back from a long ride. The stuff he put on the tyres would have rubbed off after just a few corners. Even sticky, slippery crap like oil or diesel clears right off after a very short time.
Couldn't believe how long it took him to solve the mystery of that body of the man in the street, when I immediately thought those injuries to his ankles & legs were similar to the sort of injuries a parachutist receives when their chute fails to open properly!
I don't know man... As an electrician, I've always had to turn lights off when I am hammering next to it... While it's on, the filament tends to break...I didn't know street lights worked differently.
They said the sentence was lower due to the fact both of them were intoxicated during driving. Sadly, as a drunk driver, you're more likely to survive than everyone else and it always seems that the people who were drunk tend to survive, while everybody else dies. Tragic how that is.... it is because when you're drunk your body is more relaxed and loose and when you're sober, your muscles tighten up upon the crash and it worsens the damage. Being loose and relaxed is actually lifesaving, which is a tragedy that the drunk drivers are the ones who usually escape these situations alive. I think drunk driving should be taken more seriously than it is. He should have served longer though still...
Has anyone else noticed that the white Ford Mustang at the start magically became, what looks to be, a Mitsubishi Eclipse or Pontiac GTO after the wreck?
I think the crash pictures are the actual scene, with pics of the actual car that crashed. The car you see driving in scenes before hand, during their demonstration video, are just another car that is close enough. Instead of spending forever finding the exact model car, they just get a similar color and shape car to act in the place of the actual car. They likely don't actually crash that car either, just pretend. They do crash cars, but the ones they crash are in the large empty lot, during day time, with monitoring equipment.
Just finished this Playlist on this topic of accident investigator but are there more to come on this topic? Watched 9 clips in this Playlist and I hope there will be more on this topic because I find this quite interesting

I work for motorcycle shops I worked on all my own motorcycles for years and still do I had my own motorcycle shop in Florida and my biggest thing to my customers with safety and tires you would be amazed at what people did to their motorcycles that were completely safe when they first got them to make them unsafe unknowingly would it look cool and bald tires was the number one problem they wouldn't save enough money to buy $100 Tire and have it mounted for 35 bucks depending on the size of the bike and the tire. People do the same thing today as they did 10 years ago and they still don't learn or don't want to listen. I've seen people get on a motorcycle for the first time right after buying it right on the premises of the store and got killed because I lost control of the motorcycle they had no experience and panicked and ended up dead right in front of everyone. That's why I'm glad in some states it's mandatory to go to a motorcycle school which is taught by professionals. I take courses myself could not get rusty or over-confident on how I ride my motorcycle and my equipment safety comes first"
I am sorry to hear that there are places where you can drive a motorcycle without a special motorcycle driving licence. That is mandatory in my country. Education and testing makes a differens.
He did not commit suicide - He was coaxed into it and once he stood on the ledge, not completely committed to the act, the caller pushed him and then made the hit and run call. It was a friend, or so called friend of the victim.
Very sad this child was not in the car seat proply should have been belted in like the law says it's not hard to get a car seat fitted and use it I have Zero tolerance for people that don't buckle the kids in how hard is it you can't get in a car and go she's all fine nothing Weill happen because it's at that moment you think that and then it happens you don't trust outher drivers out their their are heaps of idiots on the road you have to drive for everybody on the road and be alert no playing with mobile phone s that's why we have message bank to take the call people can leave a message and check their messages when they are safely stopped no message is worth a death on the road or a death of a famerliy people have to Start waking up why driveingy and stop putting outher people's lives at danger
IF i'm the 1st one "off the line" when the light turns green....i WILL look BOTH WAYS STILL----before i go as there ARE drivers who think yellow light means put the peddle to the metal and drivers who think RED LIGHTS mean nothing ---- they bought the road when they bought their cars....i have no problem being safe than sorry if it takes in those few extra seconds..so blow your horn all you want...and i'll keep doing what i've been doing all my driving life....it has served me well....
Very interesting and important stuff - so surely the police officer deserved better than being interviewed sitting on a bin, in a multi-story car park.
From the day an infant leaves the hospital, or takes it's first ride in a vehicle, the child needs to be restrained in an accredited car seat for a body it's size, weight. When a child is told, and understands any vehicle they're in won't move until they're safely buckled into their car seat.
If you're wearing a seatbelt, or not, your internal organs still have to come to the same stop. Obviously you won't get thrown out or smash the dashboard but the internal damage still happens.
How does the system work in the US for drink driving and speeding, do you just get fined. In the UK we have a points system, unfortunately points don't mean prizes as you can lose your license.
The US has a point system also. Depending on what you're pulled over for you can get a ticket and have to pay a fine, or if it's severe like driving under the influence, you'll get a fine and jail time, and lose your driver's license.
Another thing to think about is when you go for a driver's test or you go to a school especially CDL you're taught to steer away from oncoming traffic and unfortunately for the bike rider the van turned in the same path to keep from hitting someone had on it's a natural reaction like you look to your left before you look to your right which I see a lot of people doing the opposite and they end up in a fatal Collision because I get hit in the driver's door and it kills the driver instantly because they looked to the right first rather than to their left first which is taught in driving school and is in every book you can get from DMV before you take the test.
The cap in the hit and run is exactly the same as the one used in another Real Responders about the drunk man ejected from his car along with his nephew. Prop shortage?
40k deaths every year on the road lol? Those numbers are shitty, but it's not really a surprise looking at how you can obtain your driving licence in some states.
I remember at the beginning of the COVID crisis we were saving more lives from car accidents from the lockdown than COVID. Probably not so true anymore.
There were plenty of nights or even days during my party years that I way overspent so much so I couldn't even afford a lyft or uber to get home that occurence. Regardless, thank the heavens if I was at a house I had a couch to sleep it off on. Or at a bar, they give it a couple days before ticketing or towing your car for abandonment. Plenty of times I'd text someone sober so they knew where I was, and if no one could get me I'd simply hop in the passenger seat or back seat to avoid DUI and SLEPT IT OFF and i mean several hours not an hour drunk nap until I needed to pee. Not my most glorious moments. And I've been to rehab since then. But damn, there is zero excuse. Especially with the involvement of a child who can't even advocate for themselves with full understanding of the situation.
So I have a 6 month old. I’m supposed to put his car seat behind the drivers or the passenger’s seat. There is no latch for the center seat. I think there should be.
Great to see parents that believe their 2 year old daughter doesn't need to correctly strapped in her seat and haven't taught her that the straps are NOT to be taken OFF her shoulders (as well as being tight enough that she can't remove them. If Amy was not sitting & strapped in the seat & playing up, why didn't they STOP & MOM get in the back (seat belted in appropriately??? So the stupid Dad would be able to give 100% of his attention to driving safely. Children with competent parents have taught their children by 12 mths that seat belts straps are not to be played with or removed. Gotta be amazed that parents FAIL to LOVE their children enough to make sure they are safe at ALL times when in a Motor vehicle. Have no sympathy for these parents at all. Hope all their family members have learned a HUGE lesson from their deaths, so at least some good happens as a result their stupidity.
Just because you teach a baby to leave the straps alone that doesn't mean they will. Children are egocentric and will do what is more comfortable for them. Most kids I know have figured out how to get out of their car seat.
FYI: The "Baby on Board" stickers put on cars are not so people will drive carefully, it's so rescue workers know to look for a small child near the scene; like here.

8 years in prison for killing 4 people by drinking & driving and going through a red light. That is a pathetic injustice to the victims. What the hell was wrong with the judge in this case?
Insensitive judge
Sadly, the sentence was made lighter because the other driver was also impaired and he pled guilty (which may have led to a lower charge such as negligent driving causing death or similar charge). Combining that the sentence is made lighter.
Only one victim. It was the 2 year old. The other drunk knew they were both drunk and should of never gotten in the car. The parents were stupid as fuck for not buckling their baby in the car seat. They wanted to wait until driving so far before crashing to buckle that baby in. Nah fuck that. There's only one victim that lost their lives that day.
Actually, depending if the drunk driver has a record or not, if he didn’t have a record then that sentence does fit. As sad as that is to say, the justice system is very fucked up in the United States. But the other driver was also impaired by doing math, so at the end of the day they were both at fault however way you look at it whether he ran the light or not neither of them should have been behind the wheel of a car. The baby was the only innocent one And depending on when the accident happened, car seats were different back in the day and some children could unbuckle themselves. That is why the mom was turned around and unbuckled because she was going to fix the baby who was not in the car seat properly which by unbuckling her self, she made a bad decision that ultimately killed her and her child
Traci Forsythe to be fair the other party did not properly ensure safety. Would you go on a roller coaster with no brace ? Nope ! Same here. If they had there seatbelt on then even if they died he could he charged more time.
My no,1 piece of advice at a red light is before you take off at the green look both directions to make sure all approaching cars are stopped or stopping. Green lights don't make you safe being observant of others on the road keeps you safe.
Tell my 19 yr. old that all the time. I see people run red lights every day...
rita moore People need to understand that a green light doesn’t mean “go”. It only means “you don’t HAVE to stop right now.”
Wear a seatbelt, and refuse to ride with anyone who doesn't use one. Cliche but true: it can save your life!
In Montana, there were ads about wearing a seatbelt. A grandfather and his granddaughter went for a ride in winter. The girl had a seatbelt on, but the grandfather did not. He hit a patch of ice and lost control. The granddaughter survived the crash itself, but she was killed because the grandfather was thrown around because he did not have a seatbelt on, and he hit the poor girl causing her to die.The ad was based on a true story.
There all irresponsible the only innocent one was the 2 year old.
tracy 511 he should’ve gotten way more than 8 years he killed 4 people. The dad had drugs in his system but he didn’t run the red light the other guy did. But the baby should’ve been in a car seat and they all should’ve had seatbelts on

Adorable 🥰

The problem is that if the SUV driver had swerved to the left to avoid the motorcycle (especially on a curve), he would have ended up going the wrong way in the opposing lane(s) of traffic, and - unable to see around the curvature of the road - could have had a frontal collision with another vehicle. Worse, it’s at night, and a motorcycle can look like an ordinary motor vehicle with one burnt-out headlamp... until you’re right on top of it. I believe even a professional driver would have a hard time avoiding this collision once the bike went down and skidded into its path.
Anyone else find it annoying that this 49 minute episode could be shortened to like 15 minutes without all the repeated scenes.
Yes. That's why I almost never watch anything american.
J Anything just watch raw bodycam footage of real crashes if your looking for real and to the point
I think it has to do with the fact that it was originally shown on network TV with commercials and the repeating is to bring the viewers back to the story after each commercial. But editing could certainly clean it up for us RUclips viewers.
@z I WATCH SOMETHING ELSE. IS IT JUST ME, OR IS IT REALLY LOUD IN HERE???
Not to mention that annoying music in the background I left
Make sure to use age appropriate size appropriate car seats for children it can save their life
My first car was a Mustang, I drove it 9 years until my daughter was born. I traded it for a 4 door chevy. I did not want to drive my baby around in a "sports car"....... it had little crash protection, I wanted something safer.
That was a nice thought🥰
Gotta love the eight month old baby playing a two year old. What’s hard about using a TWO year old to play a two year old?
Tall Diana Honestly! When they said two I was astonished that they were trying to pass an infant as a toddler.
Even my micro preemie two year old is bigger and more little boyish than that baby. Also, the baby on this video looks like a boy, not a girl.
Usually they try to have a four year old play the part of a two year old, but this is just silly.
Kind of like how the police detective shows use 23 plus year age women to play 14 to 16 year old girls
What is the point of this question. Did you stop and think about that accident?
It's probably based on contracts, availablity and suitability
Great programme but I can live without the music😡
I hate when I see kids not safely seated . I be seeing kids up in the parents face from the back seat when I’m stopped at a light . It’s ridiculous. Like you could be an accident at ANYTIME !
In Australia, seatbelts are a must for everyone (especially kids). Unfortunately Americans I've heard don't usually wear seatbelts even if the law is enforced. I think increasing the fine like we do should sort this out
so conclusion : if little Amy had a car seat on she might have been alive ( YOU HEAR MOTHERS AND FATHERS )
All the parents fault yep she may have been alive if she had a car seat and probably not wouldn’t have been chucked out the window
Little Amy was in a car seat, but not buckled in. What shocked me more was that none of the dead victims nor the surviving driver were wearing seatbelts. It was so sad when the investigators said they hoped the broken rear window of the sports car was not the result of little Amy being thrown from the car. 👼😔😭
As to the kid.... Poor guy. I hate even more that someone did a random call-in to report him. Nobody missed him, and that's just horribly sad to me.
Motorcycle Tyres. Looking at the tyres in the video, you will see that they are BRAND NEW All tyres are treated with a substance which makes them look "polished".This is a preservative for the rubber when stored before being sold/used. They also have the little "wear" bobbles on them. (I always called them whiskers) When buying new tyres the salesman will tell you to stay at a slowish speed for at least 100 miles. This will get the tyres scrubbed in and safer to go a bit fast..As it happens, that type of motorbike is NOT designed to "lean" into corners/bends. There is very little space between the undercarriage of the bike and the road. Probably 6-8 inches at a guess?
As a matter of interest, the contact area of a tyre on the road is no larger than the sole part of a shoe/boot.(Hopefully a boot!)
Unless it was proven that the tyres had actually been treated with a substance by the rider to make them look shiny, I don't believe that they were.
Shocking...
The only innocent is the todler.
Daddy's strung out on drugs. Mummy and daddy don't put todler in a car seat.
And a drunk driver runs a red light, lies about it. And kills four people, and only gets 8 years in prison.
Shocking justice. Shocking circumstances.
All adults completely irresponsible. ....
Darwinism
Though it's irrelevant, how do they know that the family was arguing and what they were arguing about before they crashed?
they probably spoke to some family
This program is done very poorly. There was no indication family members were aware of arguing in the car. There were numerous inconsistencies. The difference in types of car. They are showing a baby when the child was a toddler. The entire program was Poorly done.
The baby told them. DUH. ;)
How would the family know????
@@feliciamccarron300 I think I watched a different show on this. She was on the phone with her Mother.
Always properly secure your children into appropriate restraint systems. They save babies from dying.
How is running a red light while intoxicated a 'freak accident'?
disgusting parenting from those two
8 yrs for 4 deaths, but an actual 1-2 years total with good behavior.
Isn't it fucking infuriating that the drunk driver is never the one who dies? (Well, it feels like it's like that in about 90% of cases at least)
They drink and drive, act super irresponsibly, and ruin countless lives...and then get to be the sole survivor.
Terrible parents... We wouldn't even move in the parking lot from one store to another without strapping my kids in.
anyone else notice the mustang turn into a camaro once it crashed? lol
I just love these American muscle cars
this things happen... they said it was a freak accident
@@ggurks 🤣🤣🤣
Muscle car reincarnation
I hate what he said at the end about "no true accident". If that's the case then accident might as well not be a word because every "accident", on or off the road, is caused by people making mistakes or not paying attention. Accident simply means that they didn't do it on purpose, with intent.
Me seeing the unbelted baby and screaming in my head about it.
He said there's no such thing as an accident as there is always someone to blame... If it wasn't done intentionally, it's called an accident.
J Anything
Your right there
But also people make choices
As well like choosing to take something and drive
Or choosing not to put a selt belt on
I think it depends fully on the situation at the time
@Lady Jupiter Well no, because they didn't get in with the intent to kill someone. Yes, they got in and were aware of the risk of drunk driving for themselves and others (at least I sure hope so) but they didn't purposefully kill someone.

accident
/ˈaksɪd(ə)nt/
noun
1. an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.
"he had an accident at the factory"
2. an event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause.
"the pregnancy was an accident"
Liza Heinze Exactly.
Reckless ≠ deliberate

When there is an aviation accident, there is a long investigation to find out exactly what happened. Once the cause is found, the NTSB makes recommendations for changes in the laws that govern aviation, in the hope of preventing the cause of that kind of accident. If those changes are made aviation becomes that much safer.
Changes have been made in pilot training, aircraft design and maintenance, how air traffic is managed on the ground and in the air. As a result, something that is, on the face of it very dangerous (hurtling through the air at hundreds of miles per hour) is in fact, the safest way to travel.
We could do the same for driving, but we hardly ever do. What is the point of investigating traffic accidents if we won't make changes to the law to make driving safer?
Granted, if those changes are made, 15%-20% of driver will no longer be able to qualify for a driver's license, but these are the worst 20% of drivers out there. Do you *REALLY* want to keep letting them drive?
I'm talking about those people who text while driving, drive drunk, or fly into a rage because someone cut them off.
Eric Taylor, unlike air accidents, most road accidents are caused by operator error. Since most drivers (something like 80%) consider themselves to be above average drivers, whch is a statistical and logical impossibility, I suspect there is no political will to implement the kind of road safety and vehicle training to make a difference in operator behavior. You can’t even get Americans to agree to be required to carry health insurance so everyone can be insured. There is virtually no way citizens would tolerate a regulatory regime that would improve road safety.
@@inkyguy "unlike air accidents, most road accidents are caused by operator error."
I think you meant "like" not unlike.
Most air accidents are caused by pilot error as well.
To be absolutely fair, they HAVE done certain things to combat drunk driving / texting while driving, maybe not so much road rage yet but the other two absolutely. The changes weren't implemented via requiring certain new things - because HOW can additional training / laws really prevent this? It simply can't without so much intrusion that it's not worth it. They have added texting and driving laws in nearly every state, and in VA it is illegal to even hold your phone while driving with a few exceptions (mostly GPS-related). But what they HAVE done is educate and focus on these issues. When drunk driving crashes spiked, we began advertising TV commercials, putting the dangers of drunk driving in education classes, and more, it's all over, and in turn, drunk driving crashes began to go down. They are doing the same thing with texting and driving - signs are everywhere, it's advertised not to do it, and they hammer it in your head not to do it in schools. As such, the rates have went down.
@@erictaylor5462 I disagree with that very strongly... Weather is literally to blame in many airplane crashes. Arguably, you could put the blame on the pilot for deciding to fly that day....but hindsight 20/20, it's easy to go back on somebody's decision and say "Well he shouldn't have flown that day" after it's all said and done, but he obviously felt at the time that it was safe enough to go, for example. The fact is, mistakes happen and are part of human nature - and all of nature, because NOTHING is perfect. To dismiss something as an accident simply because 100% of everything was not perfect, to me, is a bit unfair, because not even a machine could live up to those standards. Accidents DO happen, even when mistakes are involved, because humans ARE prone to mistakes. And when you're talking about making a split-moment judgment call where you only get a few seconds to decide the fate of your life or potentially others...That's quite unfair to say "Well they should have done the RIGHT thing and turned LEFT instead or RIGHT" when, under that kind of pressure, some people would just freeze entirely...
Personally, I think intention is what decides if it's an accident. Did they INTEND to crash? If so, then no, it's not an accident. But if it's not intended, then it's an accident. Otherwise, what do you call a car crash / plane crash? It certainly isn't a kamikaze. The reason we call it an accident even when a human makes a mistake that could be preventable is because we UNDERSTAND that humans are flawed and it's IMPOSSIBLE no matter how much you try to be perfect in every way. To say "no such thing as an accident" - I could only agree with that statement if Humans were *normally* perfect 24/7 - but the fact is, humans are NOT normally perfect, we are imperfect and we make wrong calls and have lapses in judgment - it's the human condition, but really, it affects everything and everyone, because nothing is perfect.
@@WildWombats "they HAVE done certain things to combat drunk driving / texting while driving, maybe not so much road rage yet but the other two absolutely."
After the Titanic struck the ice burg they did something about the ship flooding. They turned on pumps to full power and closed doors isolating the flooding sections of the ship.
But this was not enough to prevent the ship sinking.
Granted, they could not have done more at the time, but after that disaster, they did do more. They improved ship design to prevent over topping of the water tight compartments, and they added more pumps. In addition, they changed the laws requiring enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew.
"The changes weren't implemented via requiring certain new things - because HOW can additional training / laws really prevent this? It simply can't without so much intrusion that it's not worth it."
Yes, they are. There is a lot more that can be done. First, improve driver training. Require new drivers to receive training from professional teachers. This will prevent parents teaching their kids their own bad habits.
On top of this, require practical driving tests even for experienced drivers to spot and correct bad habits.
Next, improve the laws to revoke the license of the worst drivers. Make the drunk driving laws much more harsh to keep drunk drivers off the road permanently.
This woman got 10 years in prison for her *SECOND* serious drunk driving accident where 2 people were left permanently disabled.
In her first accident she *KILLED* someone and got only 2 years.
If she had gotten 10 years for the first accident *AND* was never allowed to drive again, those two people would not have been hurt.
How can that not be worth it?
Accidents are going to happen. That is just a fact of life, but most accident can be prevented if more care is taken. It doesn't matter if you intended to crash if you are being careless or reckless.
I'm sure this woman didn't intend to crash, but she certainly intended to drink and drive, and that is why she is guilty of a crime.

I'm not sure I agree with the "definitive" findings on the first one. The green light was green when the bulb was broken. However, it must have taken at least 2-3 seconds (perhaps more) for the collision to occur, the car to be pushed into the pole, and the top of the pole to fall to the ground and break. That makes it possible that the drunk driver actually entered the intersection when his light was yellow, or possibly even green depending on the length of the yellow at that intersection. I have seen MANY drivers "time" their entry into an intersection for the instant their light turns green, which is extremely dangerous, because it means you can be entering an intersection at 25-30 mph (just like the father), at the same time a car in the cross-traffic direction is in the intersection trying to beat the yellow. If you mis-time it (which is quite possible when driving sober, much less impaired), you might actually enter a split second before it actually turns green. In the situation in the video, Alex Rogers could actually have entered the intersection on the red, while Lowery had the yellow. However, by the time the collision occurred, the car was pushed into the pole, and the pole fell all the way to the ground, the light had turned to green. There's no excuse for driving drunk, and I'm glad Lowery faced punishment, but it's possible that it happened that way.
I too was thinking this. But we will never truly know. Neither shouldve been driving to make us question this. Either way. I feel bad for thr child who shouldve been in her seat right. Not two drivers under the influence. Especially the one driving his unbuckled daughter. Sad but so very avoidable
Very good flick here. When I hit a bird I stop and check on it. Don't understand these people driving away.
I was thinking about why they didn’t just check the camera at the stoplights 🤔
That's not a camera it's a sensor
Imagine doing 8 yrs for a dui when most other DUIs serve a year or less.
8 yrs was NOT enough for all those deaths. the other driver was also impaired, however they weren't driving in such a way that they did anything wrong. only going 25 miles an hour and having the right of way - the entire fault is on the one that ran the red light and hit them!
Tire polish is to use on sidewalls only.

My grandmother and another lady were killed by a drunk driver in 1979. The guy jumped bond. Never see a day in prison. Because of statue of limitations. His life sentence, living with the rest of his life.

@@itsjuliam -That stinks. Sorry for your loss. Know both drivers will have to live with it the rest of their lives. These people get behind the wheels risk a lot lives. Prayers. God bless.

The man that was killed due to the slick tires was murdered. I don't understand why they didn't do any investigation on his wife. This guy was at motorcycle enthusiast, in my opinion there would be no way that this man would do that, he knew that would be just like committing suicide. Also the man had been riding all day wouldn't it have happened earlier than it did
Kevin Rogers parents & family should be VERY PROUD of the son they raised. Kevin not only was he ILLEGALLY not wearing his seat belt but he was also had used an illegal drug, operated his vehicle illegally being under the influence of an illicit substance with his baby daughter in the car and NO one seat belted in. Killing both his wife & baby what a GREAT father & husband. What a disgusting example of a human being. His parents taught him well.............
I NEVER will understand how a parent can have so little LOVE & RESPECT for their children by refusing to make sure they are safe at ALL times when in a vehicle. Forget that it is ILLEGAL.
But ALL 4 Adults thought they were bullet proof & nothing would hurt them by refusing to buckle up. I have NO sympathy for Any of them or their families. Poor parenting all around. When kids know from DAY ONE that restraints are ALWAYS to been worn when in a vehicle they grow up automatically using correctly fitting restraints. My kids would even wear seats belts when driving around our ranch paddocks as do their children (who are all in High School) now. When my first baby was born in 1976, both my parents & 3 siblings vehicle ALL had baby seats in each vehicle for her (5 seats). We even took one baby seat when we flew to Calif in 1978 for a 6 week vacation. I was happy to take NO clothes (excess baggage) as long as my baby was safe while travelling.
so does that make them not accident investigators if there are no accidents? which btw there are accidents, like the brick that flew off a semi in Russia and went through a windshield and killed a lady. Im sure the truck driver didnt plan on that happening, in fact I dont think anyone save a few people have ever "planned' to have an accident.
Peter F. Everything is preventable it’s called collisions or incedents..accident is just a general word
If the brick was secured properly it never would have happened...preventable..you are not that bright
@@SuperTamig preventable on one person's end... not preventable on another... thus an accident. Let's say you've got a seat belt on, you're going to the speed limit, you're doing EVERYTHING Right that the strictest driving instructor would say everything is fine. However, another car blazes through a red light as you're passing your green light and you're struck. While yes, the man who blazed through the red light had a driver error... It was totally and completely unavoidable for the driver who properly ran the green light and they did nothing wrong. On their end, surely you must consider it an accident, even if you consider the man who ran the red light not to be.
further... we are humans, not machines, we're not perfect and we make mistakes, and even if we were machines, we'd still make mistakes because NOTHING in this world is perfect. To say "it's preventable" I think that's simply not true in every single situation - we are prone to errors, this is human nature, to write that off as not being an accident because you expect total perfection at all times 24/7 during everybody's life is just insane. The reason it's an accident is because we understand nothing and nobody is perfect, and unless you're actively seeking to crash your car into something or someone, it's an accident.... Nobody goes out saying "Oh boy, I can't wait to crash my car!!!" If it's not accidental, then it's intentional, and I guarantee you most of these crashes are not intentional. So I find that simply incorrect. Accidents DO happen. And you CAN make a mistake / have a driver error and it still be an accident - because intentions mean everything. All you get is a few seconds to react sometimes (or less) - and you're saying because they couldn't immediately identify the best way to handle the situation in a high-stress situation, that it was avoidable had they done something else in those last few seconds? It's easier to say that in hindsight. When you're in the moment, it seemed like the best or only option to you at the time. Humans make mistakes...and you can make mistakes and still call it an accident.

I am 78 y.o. When I was 2-6 or 7 y.o. my grandfather had a car with a 'dickey seat' and my cousin and I were regularly parked on it and told to sit still. But, of course, speeds were much lower then and there were far fewer cars anyway.

@@stephaniebristow8937 I had my kids in the 90s and was told that not only are the rear passenger or driver seat safer, in some states it is/was illegal to put a car seat in the middle seat because the middle seat is completely open to the child being able to be more easily ejected through the windshield.
Know the difference between a sedan and a coupe.
3:30 “...believes that one of the drivers must have tried to run a red light”. Well, I’d venture to say that one of them not only tried, but succeeded!
Idk they didn't get through the light without crashing so I don't think it was all that successful

Forgot to mention babys father was on meth
He was the drunk driver
Oh dear. They stated that the motorcyclist was coming back from a long ride. The stuff he put on the tyres would have rubbed off after just a few corners. Even sticky, slippery crap like oil or diesel clears right off after a very short time.
Couldn't believe how long it took him to solve the mystery of that body of the man in the street, when I immediately thought those injuries to his ankles & legs were similar to the sort of injuries a parachutist receives when their chute fails to open properly!
Unluckily, the careless drunk driver is almost always the only survivor.

8 years in prison for 4 lives???
XTrayX Bulk discount, I guess! :/
They said the sentence was lower due to the fact both of them were intoxicated during driving. Sadly, as a drunk driver, you're more likely to survive than everyone else and it always seems that the people who were drunk tend to survive, while everybody else dies. Tragic how that is.... it is because when you're drunk your body is more relaxed and loose and when you're sober, your muscles tighten up upon the crash and it worsens the damage. Being loose and relaxed is actually lifesaving, which is a tragedy that the drunk drivers are the ones who usually escape these situations alive. I think drunk driving should be taken more seriously than it is. He should have served longer though still...
With some math that's 2 years in prison for each person.
A 2 year old baby is the victim of 4 idiots.
Why are they checking the roof of the building , when it's dark?? They couldn't wait till the sun came up, and there was light....??
Evidence could be lost if they waited. That's how investigations are done....at the time the incident occurs, not when it's more convenient to look.
Has anyone else noticed that the white Ford Mustang at the start magically became, what looks to be, a Mitsubishi Eclipse or Pontiac GTO after the wreck?
I think the crash pictures are the actual scene, with pics of the actual car that crashed. The car you see driving in scenes before hand, during their demonstration video, are just another car that is close enough. Instead of spending forever finding the exact model car, they just get a similar color and shape car to act in the place of the actual car. They likely don't actually crash that car either, just pretend. They do crash cars, but the ones they crash are in the large empty lot, during day time, with monitoring equipment.
That's what I think to

I work for motorcycle shops I worked on all my own motorcycles for years and still do I had my own motorcycle shop in Florida and my biggest thing to my customers with safety and tires you would be amazed at what people did to their motorcycles that were completely safe when they first got them to make them unsafe unknowingly would it look cool and bald tires was the number one problem they wouldn't save enough money to buy $100 Tire and have it mounted for 35 bucks depending on the size of the bike and the tire. People do the same thing today as they did 10 years ago and they still don't learn or don't want to listen. I've seen people get on a motorcycle for the first time right after buying it right on the premises of the store and got killed because I lost control of the motorcycle they had no experience and panicked and ended up dead right in front of everyone. That's why I'm glad in some states it's mandatory to go to a motorcycle school which is taught by professionals. I take courses myself could not get rusty or over-confident on how I ride my motorcycle and my equipment safety comes first"
I am sorry to hear that there are places where you can drive a motorcycle without a special motorcycle driving licence. That is mandatory in my country. Education and testing makes a differens.

Very sad this child was not in the car seat proply should have been belted in like the law says it's not hard to get a car seat fitted and use it I have Zero tolerance for people that don't buckle the kids in how hard is it you can't get in a car and go she's all fine nothing Weill happen because it's at that moment you think that and then it happens you don't trust outher drivers out their their are heaps of idiots on the road you have to drive for everybody on the road and be alert no playing with mobile phone s that's why we have message bank to take the call people can leave a message and check their messages when they are safely stopped no message is worth a death on the road or a death of a famerliy people have to Start waking up why driveingy and stop putting outher people's lives at danger
IF i'm the 1st one "off the line" when the light turns green....i WILL look BOTH WAYS STILL----before i go as there ARE drivers who think yellow light means put the peddle to the metal and drivers who think RED LIGHTS mean nothing ---- they bought the road when they bought their cars....i have no problem being safe than sorry if it takes in those few extra seconds..so blow your horn all you want...and i'll keep doing what i've been doing all my driving life....it has served me well....
Very interesting and important stuff - so surely the police officer deserved better than being interviewed sitting on a bin, in a multi-story car park.
From the day an infant leaves the hospital, or takes it's first ride in a vehicle, the child needs to be restrained in an accredited car seat for a body it's size, weight.
When a child is told, and understands any vehicle they're in won't move until they're safely buckled into their car seat.
If you're wearing a seatbelt, or not, your internal organs still have to come to the same stop. Obviously you won't get thrown out or smash the dashboard but the internal damage still happens.
How does the system work in the US for drink driving and speeding, do you just get fined. In the UK we have a points system, unfortunately points don't mean prizes as you can lose your license.
The US has a point system also. Depending on what you're pulled over for you can get a ticket and have to pay a fine, or if it's severe like driving under the influence, you'll get a fine and jail time, and lose your driver's license.
It's disgusting how lenient the punishment is in Canada when it comes to killing someone with your vehicle. 😢🤬🙄🤯
No such fing as an accident so you fink I smacked that deer 90 feet up in the air and totalled my van on purpose
Exactly. It could have been avoided if you drove no more than 4 km/h and had a man with a bell walk in front of it.
Aw is the deer okay?
@Lady Jupiter r//woooosh
Still a collision not an accident, but the deer caused it!
How did they know the couple were arguing about an upcoming move when everyone died?
Another thing to think about is when you go for a driver's test or you go to a school especially CDL you're taught to steer away from oncoming traffic and unfortunately for the bike rider the van turned in the same path to keep from hitting someone had on it's a natural reaction like you look to your left before you look to your right which I see a lot of people doing the opposite and they end up in a fatal Collision because I get hit in the driver's door and it kills the driver instantly because they looked to the right first rather than to their left first which is taught in driving school and is in every book you can get from DMV before you take the test.
Good day Universe!From Eastern Samar Philippines new subscriber.#keep safe everyone
The presenter seems so flippant, and throwing the baby doll off the 3rd floor was a bit theatrical...this show really doesn't have much tact =/
Sometimes you have to be like that I exspect the police have seen so many irresponsible parents they become switched off
Lady Jupiter By the reaction you’d think that the host had dropped a real baby! 😂
Don't watch then
The cap in the hit and run is exactly the same as the one used in another Real Responders about the drunk man ejected from his car along with his nephew. Prop shortage?
annoy else find it annoying that the baby didn't have their seatbelt on properly
40k deaths every year on the road lol?
Those numbers are shitty, but it's not really a surprise looking at how you can obtain your driving licence in some states.
I remember at the beginning of the COVID crisis we were saving more lives from car accidents from the lockdown than COVID. Probably not so true anymore.
There were plenty of nights or even days during my party years that I way overspent so much so I couldn't even afford a lyft or uber to get home that occurence. Regardless, thank the heavens if I was at a house I had a couch to sleep it off on. Or at a bar, they give it a couple days before ticketing or towing your car for abandonment. Plenty of times I'd text someone sober so they knew where I was, and if no one could get me I'd simply hop in the passenger seat or back seat to avoid DUI and SLEPT IT OFF and i mean several hours not an hour drunk nap until I needed to pee. Not my most glorious moments. And I've been to rehab since then. But damn, there is zero excuse. Especially with the involvement of a child who can't even advocate for themselves with full understanding of the situation.
I’m not saying they were wrong but who the hell wares a cap that loose mine is usually tight to my head it would come off but not that soon
So I have a 6 month old. I’m supposed to put his car seat behind the drivers or the passenger’s seat. There is no latch for the center seat. I think there should be.
Traci's Tube It depends on the type of car you have, and the type of baby seat. The middle seat is the safest.
You should put him the the back passenger seat facing rear end
I blame the baby.
I'm going to hell for laughing at this
@@ladylucifer5044 Then it's a date!
Very Good Program
Omg a 2year i realy hope the little girl did not have anny pain i feel so sorry ♡♡
Great to see parents that believe their 2 year old daughter doesn't need to correctly strapped in her seat and haven't taught her that the straps are NOT to be taken OFF her shoulders (as well as being tight enough that she can't remove them. If Amy was not sitting & strapped in the seat & playing up, why didn't they STOP & MOM get in the back (seat belted in appropriately??? So the stupid Dad would be able to give 100% of his attention to driving safely. Children with competent parents have taught their children by 12 mths that seat belts straps are not to be played with or removed. Gotta be amazed that parents FAIL to LOVE their children enough to make sure they are safe at ALL times when in a Motor vehicle. Have no sympathy for these parents at all. Hope all their family members have learned a HUGE lesson from their deaths, so at least some good happens as a result their stupidity.
Just because you teach a baby to leave the straps alone that doesn't mean they will. Children are egocentric and will do what is more comfortable for them. Most kids I know have figured out how to get out of their car seat.
FYI: The "Baby on Board" stickers put on cars are not so people will drive carefully, it's so rescue workers know to look for a small child near the scene; like here.
Are they really? I’d think their primary purpose is to gloat that you have kids...
@@tookitogo yes, that's the whole purpose of them is to alert not only other drivers but also first responders to be aware of and look for a child in the event of an accident.
@@denisemetzger305 Nope. I checked, and it’s not. The Wikipedia article about “baby on board” has links to articles about the history of it. It was never intended as a signal to first responders. (Read the first reference. Can’t link it for you, YT auto deletes it.)
@@tookitogo Wikipedia is your reference source??? 🤣 Try asking some first responders instead of using online garbage sites.
@@denisemetzger305 Fix your reading comprehension before you laugh at others. If you actually read what I said, I said to refer to the first reference linked FROM the wiki article. I did not say the wiki article IS the reference. It’s just where to find it, since YT won’t let me paste the URL.
8 years??? That’s it ?? Killed 3 people?? SMH 🤦♀️
Y'all should have took down the Fingerprints of the person that called
Another use for math that many wouldn't think of
I know a lot of this is reenacted. These cops they're good. If I felt this way about all cops. My
thought processes would be totally different.
In the ER, we call those 2-wheelers “donor cycles.”
gee, that's original...
Chris E nice attitude
It’s actually true though. Most victims of motorcycle crashes end up dead and their organs are donated. Thus the name “donor cycle”
Hence the joke: what do you call the perfect organ donor? - 19 years old with no helmet.
Everyone talking about the first or last accident but no one about the sad suicide
