As a semi driver with a 28 year accident free record, I can attest that speed and bad decisions kill. Slow it down, stop tail gating, put the phone down, drive sober and pay attention. We all want to get home to our loved ones safely, and I hate seeing tragedies like this. God bless and be safe out there.
Absolutely. Definitely slow it down. You can go the speed limit and still get to your destination in roughly the same time you would have if speeding. And tailgating is deadly. Lost a family friend a few years ago because she was following behind a vehicle. The car suddenly swerved into the other lane revealing a stalled box truck right in front of them. She rear ended it at a high rate of speed. She didn’t die instantly. She died painfully as first responders tried to pry her from the wreck. It taught me to always leave plenty of space to be able to react.
100% IM 60 NEXT MONTH and have one speeding ticket from 1981 when I was 17 SLOWWWW DOWN SPEED IS THE KILLER AND NOT REALIZING JUST HOW DEADLY HEAVY METAL FLYING IS
@@realf1rme, I left a snotty reply to your comment, but after looking at it, I saw I was no better than you for writing it. So I deleted it. Only this to say now... My condolences to your parents and family.
@ Robert Plant- Wow! That was MEAN AS HELL & COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR! He said he's STOPPED TO HELPED MANY PEOPLE. & you call him a SHITTY TRUCKER & SAY GOOD FOR YOU?!?! That was EXTREMELY RUDE! I BET if u were in a LIFE OR DEATH CAR CRASH, & THAT SAME TRUCKER SHOWED UP 2 HELP YOU... I BET U WOULDN'T BE CALLING HIM THAT! There's NOT ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH GOOD SAMARITANS LIKE HIM IN THIS WORLD NOW A DAYS!
@ Account4info- THANK YOU FOR BEING A GOOD PERSON & AN UPSTANDING HUMAN BEING & TAKING TIME TO HELP PEOPLE!!! (There's NOT ENOUGH people like yourself in this world anymore!) MOST PEOPLE WOULD EITHER STOP & STARE OR JUST KEEP ON DRIVING RIGHT PAST! So... As a fellow American & a fellow HUMAN BEING, Thank You Very Much!❤❤❤
Isn't it crazy that that guy's life just unexpectedly ended right there? Everything he'd known or been through - school, jobs, relationships, family, hobbies... all just to an abrupt end.
Jax8002 It didn't help me. Prior to driving I had seen presentations on the dangers of speeding, and not wearing seat belts and all that in school. Still didn't stop me from speeding on wet roads and colliding with a palm tree. A lot of kids my age have just brushed it off, which is sad, because now I get why they cram those safety talks into your head so much. No one is invincible behind the wheel
I have a Teenage niece who just got a speeding ticket for 40 over the speed limit. She acted like she didn’t do anything worng. I look up a few of your vids and showed her what happens with speed and 0 experience. Showed her one of your videos of Family members screaming and crying finding out a love one just passed because of bad drive and poor choices. Her face went from annoyance to pale white. She threw up and started crying saying “i didn’t think it would look that bad.” That was 5 months ago. Now she is a extremely safe and good driver. Her dad said the app for her car shows her barely going the speed limit. And her friends say she a slow and boring driver. I know it might have traumatized her. But she knows now what can happen in a few seconds. You should really tour schools and show what you see in your job. You could open so many eyes!
The hell with traumatizing her! It helped her become a responsible driver. Not only does that benefit herself and her family, but also her fellow drivers. On behalf of the latter, thank you!
Good. I'm glad her friends think that, which means she's driving responsibly. However, what they should be thinking about and being grateful for is that she cares about their safety. Too many others don't truly give a flying fart about who's in the car with them when they drive irresponsibly/recklessly. That is one of the biggest contributors of these horrendous accidents. Riders complaining and hounding the drivers to go faster, to go around, you should race that guy . . . Just shut the hell up and enjoy your safe and controlled ride from Point A to Point B. If someone were to tell me that I drive too slow and that the ride is boring, I would gladly and safely pull over and tell them to get out and walk.
With folks saying that this stuff should be blurred, censored for privacy/whatever, I disagree. Highly disagree, and here is why. Some folks watch videos like this to see what the FFs, PD, EMTs, etc go through on the job, outside what the 'Documentaries' show. Folks that want to know the end all worst of it, see vids like this to understand, this is what really goes on. Not the shit you see on Discovery, Rescue Me, etc.
Indeed, and that's why this vid has the age warning indeed. It's a harsh reality, but -this- is the reality of Emergency Services, and folks need to be able to understand that if they are wanting to join up with them for sure.
RU-vid isn't against Graphic COntent in this case, as it's a press release by all definitions[See US 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights], and it's clearly titled 'GRAPHIC'. RU-vid acknowledges it, too, as of the age-restriction on the video. And no a FDs job is NOT to keep it private, our job is to save lives, that's it. And the reason most depts don't show vids like this is because they're around on youtube or they can't find them on youtube.
Vigilance always watching, I can watch a vehicles movement & tell what their gonna do before they do it! So sad this mans life was ended so suddenly. New drivers should watch this before getting their license then maybe they’d know what show down means
As a kid I was cursed to be involved in multiple fatal accidents, being under 10 years old now 39 I’m still traumatized by the loud explosion sounds, metal twisting, tire screeching, the screaming, the crying when your loved ones are laying dead in the street for not wearing a seat belt or smashed inside the vehicle. Danger starts the moment you turn on the ignition and the 1st worst mistake you can make is forget you are driving inside your potential coffin. Drive safe. Share the road and be patient. Pay attention or die.
I’m studying to be an EMT next year, and I appreciate being able to see these scenes as raw and unedited as possible. I know I’ll be great at what I do, but every now and then I wonder if I’ll be ok mentally with what I’ll see. These sorts of videos help.
No Way!! I'm studying to be an EMT too!! My grandpa had been an EMT starting in 1986 then up to 2007 when he was finally able to retire. He emphasizes that if I really want to make a long-term career out of being an EMT then I have to expose myself to the "uglier side" of life since as he puts it, "You'll have to be able to confront life's worst, so you can make sure others get back to its best." I hope you fulfill your dream, have a good day!
Yeah just a month ago I was driving along and this lady slid past me on ice and smacked a tree and died when I ran up to see if she was ok 46 years old Just. Gone Wasn’t doing anything wrong Crazy crazy stuff
I worked in a funeral home , picked up and worked with bodies who died or were killed in everyday possible, in these lines of work it just is what it is. It never bothered me.
The contrast between the woman passenger in the beginning of the video walking and appearing to be relatively unharmed and her friend who was thrown from the truck is a sad reminder to always buckle up. My heart goes out to the victim and his family, and I hope the survivors are at peace several years later on. It can't be easy having to go through that and living with the trauma for the rest of your life.
Just looked it up. His name was Zach Woodward. He was a 30 year old artist and part time owner of a vintage store. He was beloved by his community. Please never forget these are real people with names and people who love them.
my middle school friend died when we were 15. she was the only one not wearing a seatbelt in the car. she was ejected through the windshield of her best friends boyfriends truck because they were going too fast on a turn in the rain and lost control and crashed and she hit a fence and died on impact. devestating to all who knew her.
Put down their phone, slow down, increase following distance and look further down the road than just the car in front of you. Even if you are a safe driver your life can end to someone else's moment of stupidity. Driving is dangerous in general.
The trouble is " it not going to happen to me" but the fact is it has to happen to someone why not you? I have worked in Trauma, so many accidents were senseless and such a waste of precious life! We are not invincible we are human, and human' s make mistakes!
Hey guys and gals. Life's too short. Don't let your family's last vision of you be dead and bloody. Please don't text drink speed when you're driving. I love u all don't die on me :'(
Sweet comment but you forget the fact that not all fatal crashes and losing family members like that are caused by texting, drinking or speeding at all. Crashes like this can happen if everyone goes by the book too.
Appreciated hearing no opinions; narratives or comments; your questions of Officer Warrior (sp?) were clear and fair. IMO this kind of journalism is needed as it allows viewers to see, feel and almost smell what First Responders deal with daily. Great work!
I can honestly say I’ve become a better driver due to these videos!! It has caused me to be WAY more alert and avoid any or all distractions as much as possible! So, thank you Loudlabs News!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My condolences to the female and the dude who had to witness their buddy die right in front of them and whoever else cared about him. May he rest in Paradise
I seen one of my coworkers get decapitated when he was hit from behind while turning in to our jobs parking lot. He was on a chopper. The impact threw him forward causing the long handlebars to cut his head off. Plus he was ran over 4 times by incoming traffic from the other lane. I seen it all. I was 19 years old then. I'm 32 know. I could still smell the iron from all the blood. RIP bill.
Palm tree Cali that sounds so shocking ! It’s bad enough witnessing someone you don’t know but to see it happen to someone you do must affect you terribly !
My dad told me of a car crash that he attended as a policeman back in the 1960’s or early 1970’s. He said a group of young people had been speeding when coming up to a roundabout; eyewitnesses said they had their hands (and possibly arms) hanging out the windows. My dad had to go and pick up all the fingers/hands that had been ripped off in the impact of the crash with another vehicle.
Eject and crush most probably, so important to wear seatbelts but rollovers and side impacts make the head vulnerable to pillar and roof strikes. A tragic end to a young man's life.
The person most likely had his arm severed along with his jugular and was bleeding pretty bad, which is why you see bloody hand marks along the door jam from his other hand because he was trying to get out of the truck as his one arm was nearly cut off. I'm sure his injuries were beyond bleeding at the last moments. Very sad. R.i.p.
Silverado4x4 He was probably riding “shotgun” with no seatbelt . Lots of times we lean our arms on the door with the window down. Disaster when in a rollover! The girl was most likely driving or in the middle.
No one understands what our first responders go through on a daily basis. They have to help people who have been in wrecks and etc.. and see death/fatality on a daily basis... hugs to all of you. Because I'm a dispatcher.
Last year in Florida my husband & I were sitting on the balcony at our hotel. We didn’t notice anything till an ambulance came rushing down to the beach. Apparently a lone man had gone into the water & never got out. Someone then found him & immediately they started CPR. They worked on him for quite a while but he was gone. That was quite a sobering time as we watched & then knowing that only his body was riding out in the ambulance. Just felt so bad for him, his family & friends. We did find out his name & age. Only 31 or so. I will never forget him. May he Rest In Peace.
Thanks for sharing your experience, 31 is very young indeed. Life just begins to make sense at that age sometimes the hardest years are 20's in my experience at least
Going through my EMT program. I’m very passionate about saving lives and seeing this only makes me wanna help more god bless our EMS brothers and sisters you’re truly amazing people
Breaks my heart every time I see young lives snuffed out in just a few seconds , the pain and grief that someone’s loved ones are going to go through 😢😢
R.I.P to the person who was killed in such a horrible way. Let this be a reminder though to everyone that wearing your seatbelt can save your life in one of these accidents. I'm assuming the person was ejected and crushed by the truck (as you can tell by the blood all over the door) and the other occupants were either lucky to not have been killed if they were ejected or they were belted in the truck. Very sad situation. Hopefully alcohol wasn't a factor too as they said the fatality was a passenger and not the driver.
@@dotcassilles1488 think he was still half in the truck and half out when it was rolling. He probably had incredible crush injuries as his entire face seems red
When I was a teenager one of my dearest friends was killed in a car accident. She got into a convertible sports car with her friend that was drunk, she thought she could help him drive more safely, sigh. He went around a 15 MPH curve at 75 MPH, he lost control, rolled the car, she was thrown her out and it dragged her for several yards before coming to a stop. Her leg was torn off and her skull was crushed. I was pretty shocked when I went to her funeral and her casket was open. They did place a sheer drape over the casket but you could still see her. I was amazed that they could make her look presentable. The driver died in the ambulance but they revived him, his arm was torn off and they attempted to reattach it. I don't know what happened to him I didn't know him, never wanted to. He was 19, she was 16, I think of her every year on the anniversary of her death and this was decades ago. I am sure the people that have to work with kids and teens to prepare them for a funeral can't help but feel a sense of sadness.
Geez, no disrespect to the EMTs and first responders, but that guy trying to get the stretcher to clip into the restraints at about 2:20!...bloody hell, if the patient had a broken neck or bone breaks then that would have been really bad...you're not meant to jolt a patient like that...
Steve650 the dead guy was on the ground next to the truck. The guy on the stretcher was the driver and he wasn't dead. If you look at around 1:49 or so you can see his face is uncovered and the paramedics are talking to him
As a EMT student these videos are so damn helpful. Yes they might be a bit graphic but this is real life and like I said as a student these videos are extremely helpful.
Have you done your time in an ER yet? Have you been to any fatal car wrecks? I am a first responder, I have seen such sad and bad things even before I got my training, When I was only 10 years old I saw a man commit suicide by running in front of a semi. His head was decapitated and his skull was some 200 yards away in a field by the highway. We were the vehicle that was right behind the semi and when my dad swerved to miss the body, he stopped right by the side of the decapitated man. I was in the seat right behind my dad, so I saw the dead man. I couldn't stop looking at his decapitated body until my dad got out and grabbed the headless man by his hands and arms and took him to the other side of the highway. My dad was a trucker, even though we were in our station wagon. My dad then went up to the shocked trucker and co-pilot that he tried to talk to them, but they were that much in shock. My dad did get a sheet from them they had for their bed and Dad went on to cover the dead man's body. My dad also found the man's skull in the field as some of the other truckers stopped to help the highway patrol to find other body parts. I have stopped at so many accidents both where alive patients were and at death sites. My dad's bravery to do what things he did helped me to help people when they are at their worst. I pray you never have to see some of the things I saw when my dad was trucking or when he or I helped those alive. I have been at places where I had to call time of death, even my own dad's death, but the coroners give the full paperwork for time of death. I can tell you will see things that you deal with at the time, but will make you cry or have an adrenaline dump after you have done your best for the people. God bless you and keep you.. I would tell you to talk to someone who can handle being told graphic things. Or it will become too much too handle. Bless you again for being in a field that help people. I pray you get through all your schooling and get assigned a good group of people to work with.
Andrew Norris or you too have suffered and questioned your belief in God just like other non believers. Trust me, God is real. This may or may have not been God. It could've been the devil. Who knows.
admins rose robertson I’ve seen some fucked up shit but automobile accident are just the worst . Hope this guy didn’t feel a thing when he passed and I hope he’s resting well .
Workdaystinky True, watching all these videos and before I found this channel, the Russian and Arab ones you see the difference. Ever since I always buckle up in the backseat, before I mostly did but now always, always. Another recommendation is if at all possible to cross your arms in front of your chest, I’ve seen so many with loss of limbs. We are so fragile really. So even with a seatbelt, if the vehicle rolls, arms quite often fling out...and heads sometimes 😔.
They might not always save lives but they saved mine. Had I been speeding when my steering axle broke I'd be dead. Lost control on an over pass exit doing 62mph slamming into the concrete side. witnesses said my car flipped up onto its front almost throwing me over into water below.They honestly don't know how I survived to be honest. Highway patrolman didn't think I would when I was cut out and airlifted to trauma center. My seat belt caused most of my injuries but it was better than what could have happened. I escaped with a fractured spine in 3 places which required surgery and alot of physical therapy to be able to walk. Broken collar bone and shoulder. Deep Laceration to my right leg which was caused from control panel caving in on it. I had a ruptured right breast (no implants)from seat belt as well. Cuts from glass shattering and landing on me. They told me my son's car seat was totally mangled so had he been with me he'd definitely been killed. I feel extremely lucky to be here.
So sad to see the young man, dead...he looked like he was very young..please, young people, be safe, don't text, or drive drunk....R I P, and prayers to his family
"Or it will kill the dude". Are you serious? That will not kill the dude. Those locks get stuck sometimes and the only way to get it unlocked is to hit it hard! There's a few different ways to get it unlocked but bottom line is, it's better to have the gurney locked than a gurney flying around freely with a patient on it trying to treat them. Now that's some scary stuff. Been in that situation and it sucks.
+Mine Feeder LOL I noticed that, but the funny part is there is a very simple, quiet, gentle way to get the gurney to latch in. They get stuck all the time. But it's not gonna hurt the patient. Hell, the first time you try to secure the gurney in the latch and it snaps shut you're like "it's gonna be a good day" lmao.
+Mine Feeder I know right? They go to all the trouble stabilizing the patients C Spine and this oaf paralyzes him slamming him around. Remedial training needed.
Omg! Again I say THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL SOULS! EVERY FIRST RESPONDER OR ANYONE who helps others in such devastating situations. I'm crying for all of you. I wish you all the best!
The standard of driving where I live has definitely gotten worse in the last 10 years. As more people move to the area. More schools, more mortgages, more stress and it plays out on the road. More impatience, more people cutting in and out of lanes, more speeding, more tailgating. People seem to forget they are driving a weapon. I think things like this should be shown more. Maybe just maybe then people might remember how important it is for them to arrive to their destination alive.
Thank you for your excellent footage. I'm always amazed at your coverage, graphic or not. This one was tough and the worst of yours I've seen, so far. As someone else said, and I agree-I'm a more conscientious driver because of your videos. Bless this young soul. May he rest in peace.
Krakatoa67 - I followed the riverside county coroners reports for four months late last year for something I was working on. It’s mostly males. Younger males between 18- 31 years old. Only a HANDFUL SITE DUI. Then after that it looks like homeless that are found victims of someone’s sick violence on them.
this is what we need, unblurred content, for once people may realize what happens when speeding is involved , and maybe then they will finally slow down
I hate to say this but watching this shit will make us better parents...I'm sorry to anyone that was involved in this tragedy,family and friends of these poor people. it has helped me and hopefully my children to stay alive longer..sorry..peace everyone.
Absolutely. Mine didn't drive until he was 19 as losing a friend in a car accident spooked him. He's almost 22 now but I still don't sleep until I hear that key in the door!
My mom taught me how to drive when I was 13 and showed me this shit. Scared my ass into driving right!!!! They don’t know unless they go through it. Otherwise we’ll have grown people not knowing how to drive because they’ve never been taught 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. Which is a huge problem in Memphis.
It's horrible to think that his girlfriend was literally up and walking then to see him laying there and possibly hearing him in his last moments. No one can say that "he was looking at his phone or "he was under the influence"...but he has passed away and he was someone's son, possibly brother, uncle, boyfriend etc. I witnessed a horrific accident about 10 months ago. A black truck went through a intersection on a green light speeding and veered to the left driving directly into a large tree. One young boy in the back seat was removed by witnesses straightaway w/o injury. A young girl was in the front passenger seat and it took a few guys to pry the door open and get her out even though a fire had started under the truck. No one knew about the driver. I was the first call in to 911 and they kept me on until EMS arrived since I was giving consistent info. EMS arrived and diffused the fire. Still no idea of the drivers condition. By this time a large crowd was forming and our vehicle was in the accident zone. About 20 min passed and a careflight touched downed which I was hoping meant the driver was alive. To see a massive tree where the drivers seat was. About 20 to 30 minutes after EMS arrived, they removed the Male driver and as they were rushing him to the Careflight, one of his severely damaged legs was exposed. It wasn't very long before it was all over Facebook that a War Veteran/Seal Team Hero was the driver. He had been honorably discharged from the war in Afghanistan with a TBI. He said that while driving he blacked out, his foot was on the accelerator and had zero memory of the accident. He LIVED...so not every accident happens because of being under the influence, looking at a phone or being distracted in some way. It was a medical emergency that caused the accident which left him as a double leg amputee! His kids were not severely injured but were/are old enough to remember seeing their dad/stepdad in such a gruesome way. No other cars or people were injured. He is a War Hero who has such a HUGE following and an entire town behind him!
I'm glad that nowadays cars and street cams are documenting SOME of the things that cause accidents. A dead driver can't tell anyone if another car cut them off, an angry passenger attacked them, something in the vehicle rolled underneath the gas or brake pedal, an animal suddenly leaped into the road, vehicle malfunctioned, etc.
Damn! That AMR ambulance guy was probably causing immense pain and risking more injury the way he was forcefully, repeatedly trying to engage that gurney into the side of the ambulance! Talk about incompetence!
Back in 1976 during my driver training we had to watch several of those old Ohio State Patrol crash videos. Some were pretty gory and to this day I can still see some of the images in my mind. It worked , been driving without issue and I'm now 60 so I guess it made an impact on me and I'm OK with it.
Witnesses saw vehicle doing over 90mph before crashing. A passenger, 30 yo Zachery Woodward died at the scene. There is a nice article online titled, death Gypsyland's Zach Woodward breaks hearts 💔 and another rest in peace Zach of Gypsyland
Despite the fact that I’m eleven and won’t be able to drive until I’m sixteen I still make myself watch these videos, I do it so I know what not to do, what driving recklessly or speeding or texting while driving can cause. I think other people should do it as well. 𝐸𝑑𝑖𝑡: also so I know what these men and women have to go through when things like this happen, it’s their job to clean this stuff up.
The last video I just watched had 3 victims as well 2 survivors and a fatality the car was so mangled the tried the jaws of life on both sides of vehicle to get the deceased out but I guess they couldn't the fire or towing company used a gigantic hoist to lift up the totaled car and body fell out that was a wake up call if ever I saw one
I saw that video too and was deeply affected to see the deceased just fall out of the vehicle onto the ground .the first responders always try to cover the body but this was just too difficult to do when lifting the vehicle up off ground.so sad.these videos make me drive more cautiously .anything can happen that's why they call them accidents.poor souls.
@@msdustismith8919 I cannot remember exactly which video but the car was pulled up into air and the deceased person fell out on to road with no shoes on and was so sad
@@msdustismith8919 I believe this is the video you are thinking of. This one stuck with me too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wWO8Iok11wU.html
Retired LEO here. This is exactly what new AND older drivers need to see. Any updated info on the cause? I would also say that the male DOA was partially ejected from the vehicle as it was barrel rolling down the embankment. The blood that is visible under the door shows that the passenger was already bleeding profusely. His head probably smashed the window.
no this stuff should not be blurr, this is the real world we live in and i"m sorry you have to be exposed. im immune to this by seeing dead bodies and growing up with homicides. im 20 years old and ive been to 25 funerals, 3 of them i had to help their mother dress up their sons (my friends) for their awakening.
It's always good to be reminded of how easily life can be lost. Stay safe and if you are tired, intoxicated, even emotionally unhinged, then please don't drive.
I think these should be shown to the true extent of the damage, heartache and stress that these accidents can cause. I know it might sound morbid but it is a real reality check. I feel for the families very deeply but I truly feel deeply for these poor men and women that have to deal with the rescue and recovery. These poor guys deal with this on a daily basis. I sure hope they get the support they need.
I saw an older Cadillac that t-boned on the passenger side by an SUV there was an old couple in the car and the wife apparently struck the SUV with her head and blood covered the whole door and left a big pool on the ground, it was a gruesome scene, it had happened right before I got there and emergency personnel had not yet arrived, I'll never forget it.
I live right next to the 60 freeway, I can literally take a picture of it right now, I hear cars speeding all the time and this video is a good reality check, drive carefully people
based on the blood on the side, those are what u call burst blood marks that came from impact or blows.. meaning he either got ejected completely out the vehicle and the vehicle rolled over him, or he was half hanging out the window while it was rolling and got rolled while half hanging out the window.. sad way to go.. RIP
@Progressive I was in a really quiet room and had my TV on full blast I had to play it back a few times, unfortunately this guy had just barely passed away and his spirit was still around wondering what the hell is going on screaming for help.
My friend pointed out that when you hear about fatal car accidents or murders on the news, you are a victim until you die, then you become a body. It’s like once your last breath leaves, you aren’t a person anymore, you’re a body. Listen next time you here of some kind of accident whether car or work or home, anything that can turn into something more. They talk about how many victims if they are alive, or bodies, if they are dead. It hit me hard. I think it’s how she said it too. The look in her eyes and the tone of her voice. It was really sad.
Correction: he was the passenger and was partially ejected, causing the truck to roll over on him. It's sad, he was an up and coming local artist who was very likable. Here's a link to an article. www.desertsun.com/story/news/2014/11/19/zach-woodward-gypsyland-crash/19295839/
my middle school friend died when we were 15. she was the only one not wearing a seatbelt in the car. she was ejected through the windshield of her best friends boyfriends truck because they were going too fast on a turn in the rain and lost control and crashed and she hit a fence and died on impact. devestating to all who knew her. rip alex.
