  2. What in the world got into those drivers mind, if a truck is honking like crazy and is going towards your car there is many things you could do, one of the only you cant is STAND STILL LIKE A DOOR

  3. I hate this, one of my best friends passed away last summer because a 18wheeler wasn’t paying attention while he got off the bus. I’m glad all the kids are ok, the truck driver did very well as well making sure everyone knew what was happening and trying not to injure anyone

  4. Its shocking how incomprehensible the idea of going off the road is to people in this comment section, so many people saying the truck couldnt move because cars were behind him or that backing up was the only option or (my favorite) the idea that the semi is the one who should hit the ditch, which would lead to him barreling into trees and what appears to be a ravine which would certsinly minimize his chance of survival, meanwhile there is a nice grass hill for the chevy truck to drive onto.

    The suv did it right, bail into the ditch, the white car in the middle couldnt do nuch especially when the truck backed into them, 3rd car seems to be unable to go off road from the ravine and the railing so backing up was thr right call. The chevy was dumb, and before the comments come mentioning how people freeze like its a good excuse, he backed into the car behind him, he didnt freeze, he was just dumb.
