- 04.28.2022 | 11:50 PM | PHOENIX - AZDPS troopers, Phoenix PD and Phoenix Fire crews responded to reports of a serious collision involving a pickup truck and a Valley Metro bus on westbound I-10 near 35th Avenue shortly before midnight Thursday night. Troopers and Phoenix officers arrived on scene to find the driver of the pickup truck pinned inside his severely mangled vehicle following a high speed rear-end collision into the Valley Metro bus. Fire crews arrived on scene and began working to extract the trapped patient. The driver of the pickup was pronounced deceased after an extensive extrication effort. The Valley Metro bus was not carrying any passengers at the time of the crash, the bus driver was transported to a local hospital with non life threatening injuries. AZDPS established a hard closure for Westbound I-10 throughout the early Friday morning hours as troopers worked to investigate the incident. The mainline was re-opened for Westbound traffic shortly before 3:00 AM.

It's so sad to hear someone died like that. On thier way home to see family, or to work.
I pray God comfort his family and friends at this time.
I prefer Pepsi 😌
This person was speeding and got what he deserved. Feel sorry for the family of the driver not the idiot driver.
Not really their stupid fault

RIP Marine.
Reading these comments make me lose faith in humanity just that much more. This man was our friend. He was a Marine, devoted husband and father, and friend to so many. He fought to defend the freedoms that you clearly take for granted. Freedom of speech shouldn't be your reason to be so distasteful. He would have given any one of you shirt off his back if he thought you needed it. He was the drop everything to help someone kind of man.
He was not impaired in any way and was headed home from work when this tragic accident happened. You should all reconsider your shit comments and I hope you never have to endure the tragedy that his family and friends are right now.
DOn't blame me I blamed the bus being in the far left lane for no reason.
i know exactly where this is too. right at the bend on the 10. speeding or not that slow ass bus shouldnt have been in the hov lane like they always try to. sucks because you dont have much visibility coming around that corner. may your friend rest in peace ❤️
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. May he rest in peace. His family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm truly sorry for the loss of your friend. My condolences to his family. May this gentleman RIP.
These comments disgust me as well. Most of these people wish they were 1/4 the man TW was. The world is definitely a lesser place without him in it.
It doesn't matter who was at fault.. This young man was Somebody's Child, Somebody's Husband and Somebody's Daddy. Everyone needs to stop pointing fingers because that doesn't fix anything.. My thoughts and prayers are with this family. RIP Mr Man, and Thank You for My freedom..!!!
Just say no to texting while driving
U mean no speeding and driving
And people don’t have medical conditions. Drop the cell phone blame!
@@camoandbling Anyone who has that response is themselves guilty of phone use while driving. STOP IT NOW before you kill someone or yourself.
@@huntersawesome8587 STOP USING YOUR DEVICE WHILE DRIVING. Speed caused the death but distraction caused the driver to not notice the bus in time to stop. I don't want to see your vehicle folded in two in a future video.
Some things that first responders have to see and hear is commendable…thank you all for the work you do every day 💕🇨🇦
Deepest condolences to the family & friends.
Don’t text and drive. Don’t watch porn and drive. Etc etc
Years ago I was in Portland OR listening to morning news in August. They said 85 Pedestrians have been killed by cars so far that year because people were looking at their cell phones and walked into traffic.
They need to install software in phones and/ or cars that makes usage not possible while vehicle is in motion. Many will say that's unconstitutional. It's also unconstitutional to take another's life...
@@rse4379 it's not the speed it's the sudden stop, may the victim rip and may God please bless the family
Not to mention all those who drowned after walking into ponds, lakes or fountains or off bridges while texting.
@@rse4379 ....who is "they" that's supposed to give people common sense ?
@@CARNELIANTURQUOISE lol, they would be the phone manufacturers that would force "common sense" by making your phone unusable in a moving vehicle. They already have brethelizers in vehicles for those lacking common sense to not drive while intoxicated.
Not paying attention, on the phone, texting, driving to fast. Whatever the reason it’s not good enough to take away the pain that the family is going thru. What a waste.
What about a unknown medical condition? Not every wreck involves a cell phone. I’m speaking from experience and I am so sick of wrecks being caused by cell phones!!
@@camoandbling I’m glad you said that
They didnt even have to say speed was involved. Anyone that perishs hitting a bus is most likely speeding. They can do 55 maybe 60. In AZ, everyone wants to do 80 for some dam reason.
Well, that's the reason why they died. Speed had everything to do with it. Just look at the truck. He had to have been going super fast for the impact to be that bad.
Regretfully, I go 70 to 80 on freeway, no call for it and against Super Speeder laws in Georgia. This, wreck, and others posted has "woke" me. No more eating or fiddling with radio, no cell phone, these vids has scared the sh*t out of me!
RIP PICKUP DRIVER 🙏 Condolences to your family and friends. ❣️✝️
There have been too many high speed crashes lately. What the hell is going on that makes people suicidal? Every day somewhere a car is obliterated due to high speed violent impacts. Innocent people are dying because a driver chooses to speed.
dude theres millions and millions of cars driving everyday and millions and milliona of people in them. theres going to be stuff like this that happens. you cant do anything about it. 99% of everyone who drives gets home safely everyday
How do you know he was speeding? Too many people jam on their brakes for no reason because they panic. Or maybe some old driver drives with one foot on the brakes and half their other foot on the gas. Could be someone is driving too slow in the left lane or completely stopped in the middle of the highway. You can't blame everything on speed. He could of been cut off in to the bus. You just don't know, so stop speculating. As far as people being suicidal, haven't you noticed what's been happening lately. I do agree speed is also a problem, but it's not the reason for all accidents. (Not that you said it was.)
@@amskeels thank you for input. I was speculating based on damage to vehicles. 1/2 m x v squared = it's kenetic energy. Speed = lots of energy that has to be absorbs by something.
A bus that can barely do 55 was in the far left lane on an empty highway in the middle of the night? This is why as a driver you should assume someone is trying to kill you at all times and drive accordingly.
You have more info or you just making assumption? Bus aren't slow... Also, some freeway require you to be in the left lane to merge onto other freeway.
@@NoReply28 not all buses go 55, an interstate bus, or any bus can go over 55 if need to, not all buses have governors.
@@JDAbelRN Why are you telling me this? Where did I say that bus can only go 55?
@@NoReply28 my mistake, was meaning to respond to bjames
@@JDAbelRN Ah alright, that make sense
My condolences to the family and friends of the departed 😔💐💐💐💐
Prayers go out to the First Responders that answered the call to pick up the pieces that most people wouldn't even be able to stomach nevermind function once arriving on scene
Drivers…..set aside any distractions when in motion
What?
I'm driving and reading RUclips comments right now, and I'm doing just fin......🚗💥🔥
All it takes is software to make phones inop while vehicle is in motion. Some will complain its unconstitutional. Well so is taking another's life due to being incompetent. This dude did something to himself in the case, but many are killed at the hands of others. Maybe allow 911 in the event you are being chased in life threatening situation, etc...
@@rse4379 I remember years ago, several studies showed the same number of wrecks with hands free devices. I don't know what it will take. 55 years.. no accidents. But constantly being proactive and defensive is draining. Growing up riding motorcycles in Los Angeles put the fear of death in me.
@@outlawbillionairez9780 It takes more than free hands to stay alive while driving. It takes a free brain too.
@@Deploracle I'm 70 years old, and ride a bicycle nearly all the time now.
You don't want to know what that's like 😳!!
This country has lost it's mind.
The driver was behind another car that swerved to avoid the bus and this truck couldn't react in Time to avoid the impact. A friend witnessed this.
I served in Iraq with the driver of the truck. Any chance your friend can link up with me to tell me what they saw via DM or email.
How fast was the bus going? Or was it stopped?
If you or anyone else has information about this accident, please reach out to me as I am assisting the family. Thank you.
Deepest condolences family and friends. Deepest respect to first responders. Don't know how they're able to compartmentalize images of such pure devastation to the the human body. I wouldn't last 30 seconds. Peace be with all.
My thoughts exactly
Beyond seat belt and airbag.
My condolences to his family and friends 😢 🙏 💔
“High speed” means different things in different situations. Anything over 50mph is “high speed” when it comes to rear ending a freakin bus. Give the guy a break, his family and friends a break. As far as we know he could’ve been doing the posted speed limit, had a seizure, mechanical failure, sneezing fit. How many of you would’ve freaked out and wiped out if a bee flew in your face at precisely the wrong moment? Everyone’s jumping on this guy for speeding but nobody really knows how fast he was going or what really happened. The damage to the truck doesn’t mean anything as they’re designed to absorb the impact.
I saw the tag, knew he was a veteran. God bless him and his loved ones.
The driver was traveling at a very high speed to stand that truck on it's nose. Looking at the mechanics of the collision you can see where the roof impacted high on the rear of the bus.🇺🇸🐄🚒🚑
It's not "standing on its nose" the frame buckled just below the cab.
WHAT DID HE THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN
BALLOONS
Thankfully they didn't hit some poor innocent car driver waiting to turn or something.
Keep vigilant on road.
That was his final Frontier....
And who knows, the next maybe yours.
That is awful!! My condolences to the family and friends!! I hope none of them knew his license plate😬
Doesn’t matter what this person may have been. Better decision Need to be made. Rip
That's a tremendous amount of impact ! Was the truck going 140 MPH or was the bus going 20 MPH in the fast lane ???
The only ones I feel sorry for are the ones that had to witness and the ones that had to clean this up.
How the fk can you not see a giant white square on the freeway.
Fuckin negligent people this is the product of negligence and speed excess and not mantains distance.🤦♂️🤷♂️
Welcome to earth, that's what happens here. I'm sure the deceased driver said the same as you at one time. You can't predict the future. Next time, it may be you that were negligent, we read about the possibility in the same situation as this driver. I so dislike righteous posters.
Learn to speak English if your in America 🇺🇸
@@cutratecontractor1000 *you’re
Exactly!
3:29 When FFs confirmed driver is deceased. Sadly, not paying attention and/or not leaving enough safe driving distance can cost a life.
At 4:15 you can see the deceased's hand.
I hope this veteran knew Jesus
Where those vet tags?
Never drive behind a Truck or a Bus,
you can never judge when they are going to slow down or stop.
maybe pay attention, when the Blinky red lights come on, they are braking.....don't tail gate...and big vehicles take longer to stop than small vehicles
@@ypaulbrown I would much rather be behind them than in front!

Arizona US Maine Corps license plate. Too early to say but driver could have had medical impairment. RIP.
American city buses are incredibly strong. A Range Rover crashed into the back of the stopped city bus and it crushed everything to the b pillar. The bus on the other looked like it had been in a minor fender bender.
The driver may have been a Marine. Rip, thank you for your service.
That has nothing to do with him hitting the back of the bus
It's all the buses fault. If the bus had a stronger bumper the pickup driver would have walked away without a scratch...Oh wait.......
YOUR AN ANTIBUMPERITE...SHAME ON YOU
Was this person active duty or retired? I noticed the plate
retired marine, a damn good man too
Very definitely his final Frontier.
Rest easy Marine.....S/F
Cheap nissans truck from the early 2000's era what do you expect
Any smaller vehicle smashing into bus at a high rate of speed is a suicide machine.
I expect a grown adult to be able to follow the laws of the road and avoid hitting the backend of a big ass bus is what I expect! The truck he was driving has nothing to do with it. That’s why we have so many issues with everything anymore cause everyone blames everything but the person responsible for the crash!!
It will destroy any vehicle when this happens, it happens much more often than people realize.
@@aisaxonawiat6484 your absolutely correct! But the Einsteins in the room want to simply fault the truck, lol, instead of the idiot driving his truck into the back of a Mack truck basically, lol
@@1982MCI Agree totally, how does one not see a bus?
Im seeing and hearing about more rear end crashes from ppl slamming into trucks and buses. Inattentiveness seems to be the main factor and I don't understand why ppl are not more alert on the road these days. RIP to the family of this man though.
BINGO. Too many things in our world to distract a driver. A dashboard full of screens that display pointless data, entertainment centers, and of course the personal devices nearly everyone is seriously addicted to. I see it literally at every red light. Hardly anyone notices but me because they too are engrossed by their device, and that includes police.
What a shame. When that driver woke up that morning he did not know that was the last day he would be alive. If he had known then maybe he wouldn’t have left his home 🏠. Unfortunately, we don’t have that information up front. God rest his soul.
I bet each day they wake up and grab that smartphone first thing ... then they get in the car and look at it again, then send a tweet or respond to text ... then do it again and again and again.
It's a shame that someone lost their life, but the bus almost always wins in a collision like this.
@Dave N I think this time of bus (public transportation bus) is superior than the a school bus. School buses are more likely to flip over than these buses.. and most school buses are not equipped with seat belts. Not sure about these buses..

@@johngivens2115 You probably meant to say - Tour Buses....they are constructed of composites and aluminium. Public Buses ..nope they are like semis with steel frames and very robust. notice the right rear indentation ? Thats where the frame is....and then look at the pickup...its front end is collapsed. School buses are also all steel and do not use composites...they have extra side panels for side accidents. A full length school bus weighs more than a tour bus I might add. You can tell easily when a tow truck lifts them up....the hydraulics struggle on that school bus as compared to a tour coach.
@@johngivens2115 Public buses require no seatbelts other than the driver and handicapped wheel chair if so equipped.
Years ago I watched them peel an older model Pathfinder off of the back of a city bus, it folded up like an accordion but the bus itself didn't have any real damage aside from some scratches. Running into the back of a bus is like hitting a brick wall.
@1:03 is it just me or are the 2 people on the motorcycle on the freeway not wearing helmets?🧐🤨
No helmet law in AZ.
The woman wasn't
Another dangerous driver off the road.
GIVE THE LAW BACK TO THE POLICE
Nobody knows he could of had a heart attack while driving
Lot of tweaker drivers in Phoenix
We all make our choices...this person chose to drive at a high speed....I see a lot of these reckless drivers everyday. It is not worth our lives. May the good Lord bless this person's soul.
Another one driving too fast, how can you not see something the size of a bus in front of you?
Blame Ford, Nissan and others. Their TV ads are full of cars and trucks speeding and being reckless.
This guy must of been high or drunk. Can’t believe he thought he was going to move the bus along. Leason here don’t take on more then you can handle.
One minute you're driving down the highway and then you're not.
So sad !! How quick life changes in a second for victims and Families..
I drove by that accident about 1am. Only two right lanes were open and safety light barricades had been put out and the fire crews were gone. However, the freeway was flooded with AZ State trooper vehicles. From what I saw of that truck, I thought it was a fatal impact! it's hard to believe that people leave such distasteful and tacky comments on a horrific accident! An impact at that speed would have been deadly in any size pick up truck! One comment was driver's going over 80 mph. When I leave from work and get on the west bound 10 freeway just a few miles to the west of that accident, I'm driving between 65 and 70 and most vehicles including a few OTR trucks passes me and some cars make me feel like, I'm standing still!!! Problem is that law enforcement officers for what ever reason isn't able to right tickets as much as they should! I see people violating all kinds of traffic laws and people on their cell phone, texting, watching programs, scrolling through pages online shopping and just last night, witnessed a video phone call while someone was driving! The more people get away with violating traffic laws the more they push the envelope until they get into an accident! Just like this city bus was empty, which, I see, way too often and with not in service light on! Wouldn't it be a better use of tax payer money to have enough police officers ticketing people and making the streets and highways safer.
I was visiting Phoenix last week - 4-28 to 5-2 - the very night this happened, my plane came in from Portland around 11:00 p.m.. I had a rental car and was driving on the 51 (FORTUNATELY!) . i could not keep up with the drivers there (trust me I am no prude when it comes to driving). My takeaway of Phoenix is that city is renegade (worse than L.A.) when it comes to speeding, driving carelessly. Something needs to be done or much more of this exact thing will continue. @ Mike - I agree with you 100%. Phoenix is a good city - their citizens deserve more in terms of either lowering speed, patrol officers... something. I was blown away - I have travelled/lived in many major cities and Phoenix is the worst in terms of speeding/carelessness/aggression (nowadays moreso) and with little enforcement present. Huge condolences to the family - tragic and very sad.
I've driven nearly fifty years in many areas of country. The state of Texas have law enforcement everywhere, local police, sheriff cars, State Patrol,etc, the most I've ever experienced. In general, Texas drivers seem to drive safely and within speed limit. Law enforcement is ubiquitous, and this is a compliment.
It was 100% preventable, but you cant fix the idiot factor. What a shame.
There sure have been allot of pickup truck accidents like this of lately
My condolences to he’s family and friends
this is extremely insensitive to post online how would you feel if somebody posted your deceased family member being extracted from their car online for views? disgusting and so disrespectful.
Then don't watch.
How fast was he going? I have a truck like that and it’s white also 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Rest easy now Marine, Semper Fi
How does that angle of impact and amount of damage on the roof of the truck even make sense?
Slammed on brakes at last moment, vehicle nosedives, maybe locked up rear tires, tried to miss to the RH side, es no bueno, impact.

I visited a friend in Phoenix everyone drives like 80 & get on peoples but tailgating
Not this gal😊....I maintain at least two car lenths from the person ahead of me, but, your right drivers are nuts here....... they have to get everywhere...... FAST!! I get PTSD just getting into my car anymore🥴
@@andreavb4541 It's 2 seconds min., not 2 car lengths. Big difference. 2 car lengths is appropriate dist.for about 15mph.

The thing that's pisses me off the most is when I take my daughter on vacation to beaches, there are always assholes ready to Rev there engines and try to look big and bad on the strip, but when they try to show off and end up wrecking their shit and killing/injuring people on the sidewalk is where the shit needs to stop.
I'm guessing the bus was broken down sitting still with flashers on that's why it was in extreme left lane..was that an HOV lane?
yes thats the hov lane. ive seen city busses and even the greyhound busses occupy that lane. they are even currently adding something to the middle of the 10 ( i think adding a lane on both sides) so they got rid of the little gore area we used to have between the hov and furthest left lane so now the lanes are a little less wide
@@caprisun444 I worked for bus company.the. buses are generally well maintained.if you have a fleet of several hundred some are bound to break down.
HOW ABOUT GETTING SEATBELTS FOR PEOPLE ON THE BUS, WWHY DO CARS HAVE TO HAVE THEM BUT NOT BUSSES
You read my mind girl! I to have often wondered that very thing. If seatbelts save so many people lives, they should be on busses atleast as a safety precaution.
IKRRR
Because very, very few people die in transit bus crashes. And anyway, how would the nonexistent passengers wearing seat belts in this crash have improved the outcome for the truck driver?
Because if there was a fire after a accident. There would be more deaths being stuck in seat belts panicking!
Speeding idiots everywhere. They have no fear so they drive with total insanity.
I couldn't agree with you more!
So sad dont drive fast or upset no texting driving please watch yr speed becareful my condolences family from texas strong
That poor bus driver.NZ
The time between 23:00 and 04:00 has the highest percentage of collisions like this.
Americans can barely drive cars sober on a good day.
Wonder what the initial cause of traffic slowing down abruptly was? Prob some jibroni cutting over from the left lane to make an exit or brake checking another vehicle.
Midnight and he might’ve been drinking since noon. Was that a huge hit, or Nissan can’t build a strong truck - because that really buckled. What kind of speed he’d have to be going 80+. RIP man.
All vehicles are built with crumple zones to protect the occupants inside, he was just driving too fast.
85 mph to a the equivalent of a brick wall will do wonders to any truck I promise

Shame all those people were inconvenienced.
Driving a motor vehicle is not like flying an air plane at altitude on auto pilot. 😎

What’s with all the school bus crashes?
Now thats some facetime
Shouldn't have been speeding
Very Sad 😭
This went from a rear-end to a dead end real quick…
Geez how fast was that pickup truck going when it rear ended that transit bus😮😮
