A very grim reminder that life is short, and no one is promised tomorrow.

Officer: "Get out of the road!"Officer: "He's gone"

I'm not so sure that was a shoulder?

[Looneybomber]

Yeah the guy still had the right hand side of the car in the road while the officer was in the ditch basically.

You guys should read some of the comments. It's freakin unbelievable. I can understand how some people blame the driver and some blame the truck, but some have the gall to blame the cop? WTF?!

[mmm240]

If I was the truck driver, I would have rear ended a car that was moving opposed to one that wasn't. Maybe he wasn't paying attention and wasn't expecting a car to stop on the highway though.

edit: After watching again. That is clearly a shoulder. The white line is solid. But why would a cop know to pull so far over? It's like he expected someone to be driving in the shoulder. Maybe they should do more cop work and get shiit straightened out.

notice how road exits as their coming to a stop on the shoulder. 1 its clearly a shoulder you see the stripes for the turn off then it becomes the shoulder....im thinking the truck driver was going to exit but realized it was to late so he goes he tries to recover himself..an the carjust happend to be at the wrong place at the wrongtime

I just watched it again. I'm not assigning blame on this one, but after all the reports I've heard of people/vehicles being struck on the side of the road, I make it a practice to move over as far as safely possible (i.e. not into a ditch or something) when I have to pull over. What really worries me is if I have to change a tire, I'm forced to stay on the paved surface to safely support the vehicle (2x if the flat is on the driver's side).

People can stray into the shoulder for a number of reasons: distracted, drunk, tired, or even to avoid some tire- or vehicle-damaging obstruction in the road. So blame or no blame, the unfortunate reality is that there is always a very present, very wheel danger when you are stopped alongside many multiple thousand pound objects moving at high speed.

Now if you excuse me, it's almost lunchtime, and I have to get my exercise by playing in traffic.

Man! He just disappeared!

[Kckouki]

I love how the cop is just like " he's gone" . lol

damn man... sh*ts crazy

[Armstec_S13]

dude LMFAO @ your sig!!!

[Mudvayne]

the cars tires were on the white line. but what the hell was the truck driver doing it looks like he hit the car on purpose. but thats why cops move as much off the road for stuff like that. they dont even speak to you on the drivers window no more on the high way.

[tlamot01]

Just goes to show that truck drivers are the biggest threat to road safety. Most of them are on 12+ hour trips without stopping. It's no wonder they can't stay focused on the road.

[ProjectX001]

The truck driver prolly dozed off its not common for it to happen trucks veering off to the side like that that's why they make those bumps on the shoulder lane to wake them up when they do
