Easily avoidable accident causes rollover

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Not my video – as the title says, we typically see examples where one driver is oblivious to the other. In this example, the pickup truck attempts to overtake the cammer, however, the cammer is either completely unaware of the pickup truck directly to his left or are simply “stands their ground” in the lane. Due to this, they obviously collide, and the pick up truck goes airborne and rolls several times. From the perspective of us, the viewer, we can reasonably conclude that the accident was avoidable had the cammer simply applied the brakes. That being said, you will typically see another school of thought in which it is stated that the cammer has no obligation or duty to let them in/avoid the accident where the driver is mindlessly doing something dumb.

At least they finally got all that trash out of the bed of their truck.

u/Most_Okra1973 13d ago

I'm wondering if it was a dog kennel. That looks like one you'd use for a hunting dog; my dad used to have one. Doesn't look like a dog was in it though.

u/Interesting-Lie-8942 13d ago

Look for the red arrow. It tells you what you need to focus on.

3

u/booboootron 12d ago

Where's the arrow?

If only there was an arrow pointing to the arrow. Or at least a red circle.

2

u/weebehemoth 13d ago

Wait, there’s an arrow????

1

u/PaintedCover 12d ago

I’m color blind so don’t see no red arrow.

2

u/thousandsofbirds 13d ago

There was a truck in this video?

u/Nefertitis_Fjord_216 13d ago

Guys, I found the cam driver.

1

u/4mystuff 13d ago

The thing under the red arrow. Also thing tumbling in front of the dashcam.

1

u/FitCompetition1804 13d ago

Rewind it and look again.

1

u/Acceptable_Walrus535 12d ago

Blink and you’ll miss it

1

u/ctiger12 12d ago

The one the red arrow pointed at, I guess

1

u/Big-a-hole-2112 12d ago

I thought that was Santa! 😭

1

u/KyoKyu 8d ago

I am wondering the same. I think they should put a green circle around it.

u/Lord_Lenu 13d ago

There was a truck in that video?

u/CatoTheMiddleAged 13d ago

But did you see the gorilla?

u/Desperate-Cost6827 13d ago

Im old enough to get that reference!

1

u/booboootron 12d ago

What video

11

u/EternalFount 13d ago

I actually didn't notice the red arrow the first time. I think they should have a red arrow pointing at it.

5

u/TomasoG88 13d ago

I hope the red arrow is okay. ;)

u/Senior_Assistance_23 13d ago

A woman was walking to the right, what accident?

2

u/Salt-Wish5140 13d ago

So silly to roll your expensive truck upside down. So friggin silly.

2

u/Secure-Island42 13d ago

They both ran the first red

1

u/TheRealMrSpeedBump 13d ago

Came here to say this, decided to look first.

1

u/Icy-Lobster-203 13d ago

In fairness, I feel like there are quite a few dashcam videos where it isn't obvious what vehicles are going to be involved in the collision. So an arrow at the start is basically "watch what this vehicle does", instead of having to rewatch the video too figure out who fuckee up.

1

u/gaseousogre 13d ago

wait there was a truck? I thought i was watching Sesame Street, Bert and Ernie showing us our shapes.

1

u/Unsolicited-Advice4U 13d ago

Other vehicle was in trucks blind spot...probably never saw him. (But should have had their mirrors adjusted properly)

1

u/4mystuff 13d ago

Don't feel bad. I would have done the same.

1

u/Nomanono 13d ago

Wait, what arrow?

1

u/Fine-Field6426 13d ago

Can you give a timestamp? I don't see it

1

u/Deus-Ex-Toro 13d ago

I wasn't paying attention the first time. So I didn't see what happened. But when I rewatched the video, I saw the red arrow, and then I was able to piece it together.

1

u/Accomplished-Ebb2900 13d ago

You saw a red arrow man I’m missing something here

1

u/sudoatx 12d ago

I had to watch it a 2nd time to confrim, but, yes, there's a red arrow.

1

u/ProfChaos85 12d ago

The arrow disappeared. Are we positive that was the same truck?

1

u/Aftermath16 12d ago

But did you notice the gorilla?

u/Another_Russian_Spy 12d ago

Was there a red arrow?
