FED EX Caught On Tape!
 
Tuesday night, during the snow/ice storm in the Greater Cincinnati area, there was a spectacular multi-vehicle pile-up on I-75 in northern Kentucky... culminating with a 2-trailer FedEx truck careening out-of-control at high speed, dragging a sedan underneath it, towards a parked police car equipped with cruiser-cam to capture it all on video. Because the police car is struck and spun around, you get a "full-circle" view of the accident as it unfolds at high speed.

Amazingly, miraculously, NO SERIOUS INJURIES!

Yeah, I've seen that on the tube all day today! I just can't tell if the car was on his left and slowed for the cruiser and got run over, or if it slid completely under the pup from the lane to its RIGHT! Either way, the back pup came clear off the ground while running over the car! It IS amazing that they are still alive! I hope the trucker wasn't speeding and was otherwise "legal."

After crunching the car, the back pup slid out to the right at almost 90 degrees! He's lucky it didn't put him on his side!

Funny thing.... the FOX weather guy kept mentioning the accident as if the truck pup slid into the cruiser. Apparently, he couldn't SEE the little red car! He NEVER mentioned it! Idiots! :shock:

Wow I heard about that, glad no one was hurt. That's a good reason to never rush in snow/ice. take your time, if you don't feel good about the weather pull over. Pretty intense though. :shock:

HOLY COW!! Sitting on my bunk here watching it scared me. My God, the little red car that hit the cruiser. Was anyone hurt from this? Please drivers be safe out there in these winter conditions. :)

Hurt yes killed NO
The lady from the red car got seat belt burn. But the good news the cop was paying attention and saved five people standing on the road.

with all the ice in KS the other day when everyone else was taking their time and getting there safe these guys were blowing past like they were standing still. saw a couple of em in the ditch.

the way many of these3 guys pulling doulbes drive it puts the rest of us at allot of danger when conditions worsen and they don't take proper precaucions.

Excuse me Manic. I meant killed but I neglected to say that word. Drive safe everyone. :)
