Yikes. According to the uploader, driver may have been asleep

Hopefully, it wasn't a medical emergency and driver walked away. What happens next, is a life changer impacting finances and being a provider to his family or self.

How many of you had a stroke/ heart attack while driving??? Be kind, tomorrow you can be the news!

I’ve seen a lot of dumb ass people! Sadly a number of times it’s in the mirror. Try to be kind you never know when it’s going to be you.

P.S. Every friend group has a dumb ass. If yours doesn’t it may be you!

Man. Waking up already airborne and realizing instantly that you've fucked up as badly as you possibly can.

The trailer shouldn’t have come off the fifth wheel. Did he rip off his frame?

Hard to see from this distance, but it kind of looks like the platform snapped off the frame. Still locked around the kingpin though, near as I can tell.

I mean there was enough force to rip the axles off so im assuming it probably did the same to the 5th wheel

IBringTheHeat2@reddit

Axles on the trailer are only held in by 4 metal nubs so it doesn’t take a lot to break off

I've been driving 25 years, and I have no idea what the answer is.

This is what I imagine when I get sleepy, and the fear propels me to the nearest safe point of rest.

literally made my first 911 call the other day thanks to comments on this sub Re calling in especially dangerous drivers, a guy was going at least a foot out of his lane into adjacent drivers swerving to avoid him, 1-3x/minute for several minutes before I decided to make the call. So infuriating, I am OTR 24/7 and probably ~1x/mo or more i encounter something like this, not just someone who's tired and/or distracted but someone who is clearly barely able to keep their eyes open
