Why do they assume speeding? The recording vehicle was being passed as I'm sure other vehicles were passing it as well. I didn't noticed if the dash came showed posted speed and actual speed. Stop it wanting to be an expert.
The driver of the truck wasn't paying attention, rear-ended the car in front of him and veered to the left. Medical emergency? Texting? Blatant stupidity? You can't go swimming at this time of year.
The first question: who in their right mind made a bridge with no emergency railing? There should have been a safe speed cable of something to slow down the drop. The truck did not look like it was going over the 40 speed cable limit..
This is very scary for the safety of all. Keep your history look however make sure it’s build up to safety code. Nothing was there to stop the truck.
I you watch is slow-mo, the way the truck drops suddenly on the right rear. It looks like something may have broken just before he hit the car in front.
Need to LOOK at the video!! The CAR edged into the truck's left rear and this caused the truck to veer left and through the concrete railing. The CAR caused the wreck!!
What did he hit? The car in front of the dashcam was too far back and no car was in front of it. It couldn't have been the car in front of the truck because the front driver's side of the truck went up like it ran over something, but there was nothing in the road. Weird.
Somebody give that reporter a super cardioid handheld microphone! Audio quality was pretty terrible. Also, the edit at 1:28 is terrible…who cropped out the main part of the story?
This is how reporting a story should be. All major networks should take note and notes. RIP to the victims, condolences to the families and thank you to the first responders and everyone that stepped in to help with this tragedy.
Im just glad that he didn't cause nobody else their life going across oncoming traffic the way he did with no control of his vehicle. He was either drunk or messing with his phone. There was a passenger in his truck too that they found dead still inside the truck when they pulled it from the river smh.
Looks like he drove over a patch of ice or water on the bridge at the same time he changed lanes. His turned tires slid on the ice/water, then immediately got traction on the dry pavement sending him in the direction the tires were pointing.
Others are jumping to unsubstantiated conclusions that it was a heart attack, a seizure, bald tires/black ice, texting, impairment, Instagram, and Tiktok of all things. So I too will draw a conclusion without research & evidence that it was a shooter from another car.
"refused treatment" what a soldier he dont want 200k in bills MURICA

Appears the truck driver hit the gas instead of the brake.

Drunk
Good coverage, succinct, to the point, relevant video and no-bs commentary. A job well done!

There was another person in the truck.

Wasn't that the same bridge that got hit by the jet that crashed in 1981?

Watch right/passenger side rear end of the pickup suddenly drop. Looks like he blew a tire or hit massive pothole.
An investigation should be done on the bridg guard rails.

Oh, how awful.
That’s a bit much for a little tap. Not terrorists or anything so don’t even dare put that idea out there. Just some idiot who can’t drive
Those barriers must be installed with crazy glue.
Makes you wonder why it appears there was no attempt to gain control of the truck
Good to see you brother..
Fox didn't fit your personality

Trouble with you news they did not pull the driver out yet. They forgot him
no feelings for these idiot drivers
He probably had a stroke while driving 😢
Who could survive that
Idiot driver got his just dessert
Get your faces off your phones people and focus on what’s in front of you and your situational awareness!
It looks like the driver of the truck had a medical emergency. The truck was not speeding. Moving faster than other traffic? Yes. Speeding? No.
Moral of the story, don't drink and drive or don't drive while drowsy. He won the booby prize!!
Guess those rails are more decoration than preventative use.
DAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNMGGGGGG
Dang, the big launch.
Getting that truck out of a freezing cold river with thick ice floating around? Some divers will earn their money.

The way the truck appeared to deliberately steer towards that railing, I think it was suicide. Sure looked like it.
Brake checked ???

DUI + ICE =☠️
The concrete railing on that bridge is insufficient. Bridges must have railings that prevent vehicles from going over the side.
Looks like he was going way too fast and could not control or stop the vehicle .Tragic story heart goes out to his family
The car did a pit manoeuvre and side swiped that bakkie
Seems to me they need to close that bridge , those barriers didn't do anything, what are they made out of plastic?
He was not speeding. How stupid. He drifted into the other lane. He was either distracted or having a heart attack.
Not a surprise, DC has so many A-hole drivers.
I've driven that great view into the Lincoln Memorial many times & never imagined that some….I won't say MORON …..could drive off into the water….
Slow down people.
Fafo
That guard rail crumbled like a potato chip, I guess they are just for looks?
🙄😳😔
