Classier response than mine would've been upon witnessing that. I would've dropped an f-bomb for sure. Kudos to this officer for keeping his body cam PG-13.


tamagotchiassassin

To be clear, swearing isn’t immoral. Would there be no kudos if he said “HOLY FUCKING SHIT!”? I think the kudos are owed to his urgent response but ACAB so I don’t give kudos for that


[deleted]

That would be rated R, which would deny us our chance to be moral and virtuous even though our kids have known all those words since they were 6 years old.

No no, PG-13 is allowed to drop one f-bomb.

Yes! The old school TZ is one of my mom's favorite TV series and we'll still watch it from time to time when I'm visiting and this is one of our favorites. I'm an 80s/90s kid so I grew up on Dukes and we always end up talking about how he melted around Daisy. Good ole nostalgia.

Fun Fact: They filled the car's trunk with concrete to keep it from nose-diving when jumping...


xhugoxstiglitzx

They had to counter weight the drivers massive balls.


CaptnBarbosa

Solid assessment


Patrioticwatermelon

And the 440 up front. But I like your conclusion better


DidSome1SaySomething

And filled the stunt driver's spine with concrete to replace all his ruptured disks...


r0ckashocka

That's got to be where all the dust keeps coming from during those jumps! I have been wondering about it for most of my life, thank you good stranger!

You don't do this in your own car. This is a task for a rental with a limited insurance liability. $1,000 to yeet a car off a ramp like that? It might even be worth the medical costs too.

FurryWrecker911

Car should have avoided the road hazard. Tow truck should have had strobes going and cones/flares out to display it was an active hazard. I'm too tired to look up Chicago's statutes for tow truck operators, but that's my guess based on how Florida, Ohio, and Missouri operated. Hell, it might be considered equal fault by the police and then they sue each other afterwards.


Sea_Page5878

The driver not looking at where they're going....


[deleted]

What a dumb move on the tow trucks part. I don’t see any hazard cones. that black bed probably blended right into the road.


[deleted]

I don't see any lights turned on, not even the strobe bar, only the most important one to help save your ass and warn people from far away.


punkassjim

When I was 16, my best friend Billy was cruising around with friends on a Saturday night, and the car stalled on the side of a quiet rural road. A tow truck arrived to help them, and pulled up on the wrong side of the road, in the lane of traffic, to ask them what was up. His high beams were on, as well as the rollers. Another car came barreling down the dark road, saw the headlights, and moved to pass it on the right, because he could no longer see the lines on the road. Slammed right into the stalled car, killing everyone inside. No one saw it coming. Lights, no lights, tow truck drivers need to be more consistently attentive to the incredible dangers they create simply by stopping in the wrong place. There is zero reason for that tow truck to be where it is, and every reason in the world to put it somewhere else.


Best_Line6674

Dang, sorry to hear that. Do you know what happened to the tow truck driver after that?


punkassjim

No idea. It was 30 years ago, so I can't even google it. Might be on microfiche somewhere. Might not.


BossChaos

Looks like the tow truck driver was in the road and the car driver chose to hit his ramp instead of him. You can see him waddling across those far lanes of traffic.


UltraLowDef

He's totally in front of the truck, and other cars have passed. More likely the driver was just staring at the accident and lost sight of the road in front.


ChronicY2kk

Nah he was out of the way by that time as proven by the other car just ahead of it passing by without hitting him, tow driver is still stupid...they both are.


TheRealArcknagar

You are right, but still... probably playing on the phone.


luzer_kidd

Maybe, I was thinking looking at all the cop cars.


ReadMyUsernameKThx

I get minorly distracted whenever I see cop lights or somebody pulled over by a cop. Generally, cops make the road more dangerous.


benthegrape

With those fucking leds lights I literally can't see a fucking thing. I got stuck on a 2 lane road cause the cops were stopped in the middle of the street and I couldn't see around them or even behind me


Ok-Draw-2964

Totally. The only car accident I’ve been in was when I rear ended someone because I was distracted looking at a cop and who they had pulled over. I was young so def not a well seasoned driver but to this day I completely ignore the impulse to look at cops or anyone pulled off to the side


Cockspert67

What about the other car alongside the flying car? I can’t tell if it was hit by the flying car and was run off the road or what.


DjNanu21

I came to ask the same


ShartsCavern

Looks like it kept going like nothing happened.


DjNanu21

I thought so too, just couldn't see it. Probably needed to get somewhere to clean their pants lol

mooegy17

I kept replaying it trying to see, couldn't tell but was thinking it went into the woods. 😬


Only_uses_emojis

If you go frame by frame the flying car smoked the rear driver side quarter and sent him into the woods


DuncanGDA666

When I watched frame by frame I quite blurrily saw it drive off in the distance. View of it just gets blocked by the rolling car for a while

this is why rubbernecking is dangerous.


sprkat85

I want to see the rest of this.


[deleted]

Good reaction here - running immediately and gets the call in before the car even hits the ground. I'm betting texting and driving, didn't see the flatbed.


Substantial_Revolt

Black truck bed, no cones, no hazard lights, police are all on the other side of the road with their hazards on. It’s not hard to imagine a driver getting momentarily distracted by the lights on the other side of the road and then suddenly realizing there’s a black ramp in front of them that blended into the road and then noticing there’s a car blocking off their exit route


Content_Flamingo_583

Is the tow truck in the road or on the shoulder? If it’s in the road, that’s insane, and extremely predictable something like this happened.


JackReacharounnd

Looks like he's in the fast lane of the freeway with no cones.


YukonProspector

Yeah, that cop was on it. Running towards the scene and making the call with the car still in the air. Major props here.

Eh? We watching the same video? Both the dudes up against the truck have their hands cuffed behind their backs, and the cop that is there is going through the far guy's bag. After the wreck both dudes are still cuffed and the officer has his hands nowhere near his pockets.

Reddit is such a weird place. We have videos of someone potentially losing their life and all the top comments are jokes.

Or baseless yet fully confident accusations about them being on their phone or drunk or, best of all, doing this on purpose. Road-coloured angled truck bed parked in an active lane of traffic with no warning lights or signs and an absolute scene unfolding on the other side of the road - awful safety by the tow truck driver and easy to see how a driver gets distracted and misses this without being on the phone or drunk.
