122123 US 75 HEADON CRASH
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- Just before noon, a male in his twenties was southbound on US 75 between Calvary and Shepherd Hill Road in Willis in a Toyota Corolla. As he came into the curve he crossed into the oncoming lane and was struck head-on by a Dodge pickup. North Montgomery County Fire responded to the scene and after about 20 minutes were able to free the driver. He was transported to HCA Conroe in critical condition with a head injury and multiple extremity fractures. The driver of the Dodge pickup suffered minor injuries but refused EMS transport. Wilis Police were assisted by DPS in working the crash. The road reopened just after 3 pm.
To look in these vehicles and find people alive...TY 1st responders and everyone who helped pull these guys through
it's unbelievable that he survived with that dash sooo close to the seat. dashes & steering columns need to be shorter
My brother had an accident like that. He fell asleep and crossed into the other lane into a pickup truck. The driver also refused medical help. I think that when he saw my brother in such poor condition that it traumatized him. My brother had head injuries and compound fractures to his left leg and arm. Almost didn’t survive, but he pulled through it. He didn’t sue my brother for his negligence. I think if it would have been from speed or being drunk he might have. People, get the proper rest and don’t drive if you’re tired.
It's not an option, modern homes start at $400k now. They don't allow us to build cheap 100yr housing with lead-paint & arsenic anymore.
Glad your brother pulled through 🙏
Driving makes me sleepy and tired.
Thankful your brother is ok ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Prayers 🙏 for the Toyota driver for a full recovery.
This exact spot was such a hotspot for fatal accidents in the 90’s that they ended up putting those arrow signs with the blinking lights, and it did help reduce the numbers, thank God. Prayers to everyone involved.
Because of speeding?
@@mannybravo237 I don’t know the exact causes.
Always sad but to happen this close to Christmas really sad! May the Good Lord bless them with a fast recovery!!
I was in a similar crash 7 years ago to the day. Driver crossed center in a curve and hit me going 60mph in a 45mph zone. He died at the scene and I suffered permanent leg damage. Never did determine why he crossed.
Slow down people and put your cell phones away.
Legs always get the worst part of it in head on collisions…obviously the whole thing is “the worst part” but legs just get crushed and mangled.
I’m glad you’re ok.
RIP to the other person.
What were you driving and what was the other guy driving?
@@jonasf4065 I had just traded a sedan for a Toyota 4Runner. The guy that hit me was in an older model Chevy Malibu. Had I not been in that 4Runner, I would’ve surely died as well.
@teamfish15
and you probably wouldn't be any better off against another SUV. you just got lucky with a sedan.
@@gabesmath105 absolutely
As a former volunteer fireman and EMT for 7 years, if I was one of the first to arrive on the scene and after seeing the car I would of considered this a fatal MVA. Great job by 1st responders. Been there many times Myself.
Do you administer painkiller and/or sedative right away if it's bad?
My condolences to the Ram. Was a good looking truck. 🙏🙏
All i got to say is that is one lucky kid god was watching over him hopefully he makes a full recovery 🙏pay attention people you have family that loves and needs you❤
I hope the couple will be seen somewhere by a medical provider. You should always have documentation of an accident this serious, especially if you're not at fault! Does anyone feel the same?
Absolutely
The kid driving the sedan,was probably going to fast and lost control, im surprised he survived!
Most likely he was playing with his phone.
I see it everyday people on their cell phones Not paying attention to the roads grrr 😖 Cell phones should be banned from using in your cars, Pay Attention to driving not people calling 😡
Tragedy for everyone involved however another example of the consequences from speeding. Great job first responders and law enforcement.
Gosh that's terrible around Christmas time.
Lets hope this young man makes a speedy recovery..
That's why I drive a 6300 lbs pickup.
and your so manly too probably drive with the ball hanging out the hitch because getting rear ended is common pathetic comment!! My motorhome is twice that so good luck!!
I drive a 2022 Ram 1500. Pickups are ok...unless you get hit in the back, especially on an interstate. I saw an accident (unfolded right in front me) on i10 where a typical sedan speeding ran into the back of pickup (a Silverado), causing it to fishtail and rollover killing the driver of the truck. Also pickups are nothing compared to an 80,000 lb 18-wheeler. Years ago I saw a 2015 Ford F-250 that was darn near unrecognizable after hitting a Peterbilt head on. F-250 guy was dui on marijuana, died on scene. Stay safe!
If people would just watch the road, we could drive in aluminum foil balls and still live to see tomorrow.
@@eyewin85 Great comment. The circumstances of all accidents differ. A big pickup might not save you. I know of an F-150 driver who died in an accident a few months ago, smashed between two semis. He was on the freeway, and a semis was in front of him, and another semi was behind him. Traffic slowed down, and the semi driver behind him wasn't paying attention, didn't stop, and plowed the F-150 into the semi in front. On the other hand, a small "unsafe" car may allow more control if you need to do an evasive maneuver. The small size makes them more nimble. One of my cars is a subcompact. There was a wrong-way driver in my lane on New Year's Eve, likely drunk. With my small car, I was able to safely make a sharp swerve into the lane next to me, and I completely avoided a head-on collision. If I were driving an SUV, it would have probably tipped over.
An f150 may not save you in regular crashes. F150 is lighter than big, tough SUVs like bmw x5 and Mercedes gle. F150 is almost always going to lose in a head on vs those. Maybe f350 is a lot better
I hope the Corolla driver made a good recovery and will learn something. The pickup truck is beautiful, I hope repairable.
That's a Dodge truck. Hope for the best for everyone involved
If it was 2010 or older it was. They are now RAM trucks and have been since 2011.
The pickup held up quite well.........there is something to be said for trucks over passenger cars.
but with another truck it probably wouldn't be much better off. and no, it's more about bone thickness instead of weight. buy german if you want to live thru highway speeds.
Good product placement for Majestic Pines Travel Resort.
Blue fire trucks that's different
LOL, I was thinking the same thing @0505abab
Actually I think that's baby blue, That is all kinds of wrong their.
Thank goodness for first responders without those folks Imagine what things would be like.
Very sobering to see what can happen every time we get behind the wheel.
Are thirty police cars really necessary for a two vehicle collision? Question talk about overtime and bilking the system
Depends how much crime takes place in the area at that time and how often they get fatal crashes. Sometimes these things are training opportunities for officers that haven't dealt with it before. If someone dies , there's at least 5 vehicles there investigating, directing traffic, and coordinating the cleanup/towing.
All I know is if that was me I want as many as possible. Theres a human life involved.
Fron the wreck material from that truck being all in his lane, it looks like the other car impacted the truck in the trucks lane.
'Ram' pickup.
Ram tough. Ram-1 Toyota-0
Guess he couldn’t “dodge” it huh?
I had that same thing happened to me in 1980.... You could say I blew my mind out in a car
You didnt notice that the light had changed.
how fast was the toyota going
people never learn never
People who can afford to drive trucks. The others who can only afford a car get hammered by the larger vehicle. Some people can’t afford a car and walk to a bus stop if the bus goes to their neighborhood get hammered even more by the heavier truck. To me, some of this involves class bias. Because, some people can’t afford a new car or truck or keep an ancient vehicle running. More people will find that they are unable to afford a car and keep a roof over their heads. The older the car, the less safe it becomes. The smaller car or being on foot gets people killed. Unfortunately this country caters more to automobiles than people.
i learned real quick driving how too
High speed around a curve equal tragedies…when will ppl learn ..
Another example of speeding and not paying attention.
For what ever reason he crossed the line, I'm sure it was not intentional and not for us to make a judgement.... what really astonishes me is I always thought DPS had a weight standard with their Troopers....
That's probably fading out b/c the more-valued replacements are being sent to keep us in Africa. We let our weapons be used on the BRICS economy which was a bad idea. Russia, Brazil. India, China, South Africa just don't need the US so much that our military leaders are bragging about owning the Amazon-Rainforest's supply of 25% of the worlds oil without the African supplies, it's such a nasty mindset.
So, you come on here telling everyone not to judge, and then you judge the DPS Troopers' weight. What is your malfunction? Never mind. I know what your problem is.
@@minigirl6839 It's not simple to just not worry. Many of the weight-loss drugs have 'psychosis' as a possible side effect which can be permanent for some brains. The BRICS economy (Russia, China, India, South Africa, Brazil) talks about the psychosis on their MSM, & that the 'weight loss prescriptions' rarely work after just one round so many of them get the full 12 week for complete psychosis. It's extremely funny & scary b/c everything I mentioned ^ is true, though I don't know how accurate their information is at full war-scale.
This was a typical distracted driver crash. Happens every minute somewhere in the developed world. The culprit? You are probably looking at it right now.
@@Deploracle 'developed world'... For this Christmas holidays everyone is still burning their leaves even though the county knows most of these properties contain excessive amounts of ammonia. When you're driving around with the nose-burn you should really look at the OSSF Maps that show what this place really is.
Where is HEADON?
Prolly a good ole cell phone.
At 2:22-2:24 there was some kind of aluminum can. Hopefully it was just soda.
WOW, SCARY 🫣
Ram with dubs...
These accident just before a Holiday truly are upsetting. I hope the young man survives, no one knows what happened and why so stop the accusations and assuming in comments. It shows what despicable people all are when you do.
Probably putting his new iPhone 15 through its paces. Shame he forgot he was driving.
How the hell did anyone survive that???
Texting and Driving, Drinking and Driving or Not Paying Attention and Driving ? Too Many People or doing Too Many Things while they’re supposed to be Driving.
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁LION c LIKE No. 831
Montgomery County seems to have more wrecks.
That wreck was in Willis but that Gov is very similar to Montgomery county. Lots of cesspits, we are in a transition season where the cesspit-parasites are dropping in population but the cesspit-pathogens are taking over. Look at the OSSF maps, it's nasty out here & TCEQ Harris County is out-to-lunch as a pathetic-piece-of-fake-State.
I bet it was a distracted driver and that's why he went in other lane.
texting
BINGO (finally someone in comments that bother looking through their car windows). Thank you.
Trk looks a Laramie, comparable to a king ranch ford f 150..
Getting a little motion sickness by all of the choppy transitions.
Really?
@@minigirl6839 Yes?
Merry Christmas Mom & Dad- I'm a dip💩
I'm sure they already know you are.
Which is why I won't buy Toyotas.
Right on! Because a Focus or Civic or Cavalier does SO GREAT when hitting a Dodge Ram amirite?!?
buy volvo's or mercedes/bmw/audi. basically all vehicles are built to look good in tests, but those ones are built to look good IN REAL LIFE!
Horrible 😮
Yikes
"Severe Head Injuries and extremity Fractures" doesn't sound good... Could be a drooling 🤤 vegetable or wheelchair bound cripple when all the Dust settles...Not good at all... Slow down and pay attention folks, it's really simple.
Speed kills.See someone speeding pull to d side 😂
Probably drunk driving
Yes, drunk driving for sure. Good thing you were actually there to verify this.
The only people I see continuing to drive straight after the highway curves are phone addicts. Often times around here they'll simply drive into the woods before they realize they are in their cars. Too late then.
What part of the word "probably" don't you understand? Obviously none of it. @@jimmyday9536
The spray paint must be a Texas thing? Iv never seen spray paint marks on a street here in Kansas after a crash.
We do it here in Canada as well. Usually if it's an incident that has the potential to become a fatal. This way they can review pictures and markings should they require more follow up, should the patient not survive in the days/weeks to come.
Pretty much standard for any fatal or potentially fatal scene to mark vehicle and debris/evidence locations.
They do in my state
That marker-paint only lasts a few weeks outdoors in the elements, it won't be there for too long.
Not a Texas thing at all.
Not trying be to clichè, but staying in your own lane will save your life. Dodge is a usual suspect. Prayers for healing for the injured in Jesus Christ Holy name amen. Right now MF don't you EVER touch my people, Mr Dodge, ever again. 😤
Shame on that Dodge stuck for being in his own lane when the speeding kid totally needed it at the same time!
Scott Engle, Take a course on Operating a camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t like it? Don’t watch it! Nobody really cares about what you have to say!
exactly!! scott has been doing this for over 20 years! yet is still a green horn at operating a camera! lol
@@justicefall1917 dont like someone comment ignore it and mind your own business!
What more did you want to see?
@@ezragonzalez8936 Didn’t say I didn’t like it! So you must be the world’s greatest camera operator! It must be so hard for you to be so humble! How about you mind your own business and no one really cares about what you have to say either!!
