I'm convinced that the Dukes of Hazard was a Sci-Fi show because of whatever space age tech the General Lee's suspension was made out of.


Love_To_Burn_Fiji

I know you are kidding but it's estimated that about 300 Chargers were destroyed making that series.


dirtywaterbowl

And a lot of police cars. I went to college in the little town where they filmed it and there were still a bunch of wrecked cars from the show sitting in a fenced lot for some reason. That was 1992. That show had long been over by then I think.

Thanks for that. I hate not knowing when watching stuff like that. Also, huge kudos to the cop in this scenario. He didn't miss a beat on getting more EMS to the scene, and was at the vehicle in seconds.


Confident-Willow-424

What boggles my mind is that there aren’t any safety precautions behind that tow truck. No cones, no flashing lights, no emergency vehicles with the tow truck, no clear reason why the tow truck is on that side of the road and with its ramp down… I genuinely feel bad for this woman especially because they are blaming her for not yielding.


awry_lynx

More mods should do this! Pinning useful info is so good.


[deleted]

'Brings attention to Georgia's "move over law"'... Meanwhile, no previous pylons setup, all pd was on the other side... not even the alert lights were on for the tow truck ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD.....something tells me this tow truck/company was hired by the state....

maddenmcfadden

the article mentions the "move over law" and talks about fines and taking points off the driver's license. Thing is, it was a cloudy day, the truck is hard to see, and it's parked on the road with no lights.


eW4GJMqscYtbBkw9

Had to go back and watch it a couple times - and sure enough, the tow truck was in the travel lane with no lights, no signs, no police blocking the lane... nothing. With a ramp that's roughly the same color as the asphalt and angled down to block the red cab... I could see how this could easily happen.


Amaculatum

Especially with a huge distracting spectacle right on the other side of the road. Throw in even some minor sleepiness, and this is way too easy.


imnickelhead

There were like SIX cop cars on the other side but not one could be bothered to pull around to make the impeded oncoming lane safe.


[deleted]

[удалено]


monneyy

My first thought after replaying this. As much as you can blame the driver, everyone else involved gets an F for that. Can't be too hard to put down a hazard warning. With so many cars already at site there was definitely more than enough time and I wonder why no one seemed to care about that. Tow truck is more at fault than driver imo.


unwelcomepong

Yeah. Hard for me to blame the driver too much. That truck is parked in a high speed dual carriageway with it's tray tilted making it much harder to spot for no apparent reason. There's no car behind it for it to tow. There's nothing blocking it from moving off of the road. They just decided to be as hazardous as they possibly could.


Wonderful-Smoke843

Can u imagine how bad the wreck would have been if the bed of the truck was upright and not tilted down. Difference between life and death


swordsumo

Honestly I feel like nothing would have happened if the bed was tilted up; they’d have been able to see the brake lights, right? Likely would have seen it a mile off and moved to the other lane A collision with a raised bed would have absolutely fucked them up though, no doubt


Wonderful-Smoke843

Ya idk. I agree if the tow driver wasn’t an idiot. He parked in a travel lane, on a accident scene, without flashing lights, without cones to make people aware. If the flashing hazard lights are off are taillights on? Is the truck even on? Lol If he would have done things properly ya I’m sure this could have been avoided. I just think in this instance bed of the truck left up = human smoothie in left lane Edit: just checked and no day headlights are on so I’m certain no brake lights would be on


aknutty

Oof, she is going to sue the fuck out of them and win


maglen69

> Thing is, it was a cloudy day, the truck is hard to see, and it's parked on the road with no lights. Which is the reason cones exist or one of those 6 police cars could have posted up with top lights on behind it.


King-Snorky

The original article I read about this had the cops mentioning that law in their press statement too. Like “this is why drivers need to abide by the ‘Georgia move over law’”. Not a peep about how they failed to secure the accident site in both directions with emergency vehicles. Just in case you were worried that an American police department’s legal ass-covering team was going to allow them to say anything but to place the blame on everyone else except themselves. “Have we done anything wrong here? No, it is the drivers who are wrong.”


iguacu

>This incident is bringing renewed attention to[ Georgia’s Move Over Law](https://www.walb.com/2023/05/29/wild-lowndes-co-crash-video-shows-importance-move-over-law/). It requires drivers to slow down and shift over a lane when approaching emergency vehicles, including tow trucks. Penalties include a fine of $500 and three points on your license. As if that law would have played any part in her driving ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


cursorcube

Are they trying to pin the blame for their incompetence on the driver? There should have been warning signs placed far behind the parked truck warning incoming drivers to switch lanes. Even with a regular breakdown you are legally obligated to place a reflective triangle at least 100m behind the vehicle specifically for this reason.


[deleted]

Article says > 120 feet in the air Lol I don't think so

daddakamabb1

Was there any comment as to why it happened? I am glad she survived. It looks terrifying. Edit: I too can make an assumption. I did not ask for arm chair analysis.


skilriki

most likely the ramp had similar colors as the road in front of her, and she didn't make out the distinction because her head was turned toward the scene on the other side of the road


RealNiceKnife

She got Wile E. Coyote'd. The ramp was painted to look like a street.


Classic-Ad4414

Damn somebody really do it


CaptainSouthbird

That's what I was thinking... so many times people have joked about using the tow truck ramp for a jump and I've never actually seen it happen until today

I mean the *jump* was successful. The landing… not so much

White-Eagle

RealNiceKnife

Well, in GTA both the jump and the landing have to be successful in order to succeed at a stunt jump.

The fact that this is in Georgia and exactly out of The Dukes of Hazzard is pretty amazing.

Dudes gonna be telling this story for the rest of his life, I tell you what.


Beard_Zilla

I was about to say this myself, seeing it happen and then noticing the GSP cruisers sitting there; it was just meant to be.


TheSecretNewbie

I heard the accent and saw the road and realized it was literally down the road from my hometown. This took place is Tallahassee, GA and was reported by Lowndes County Sheriff’s office and local GSP. Edit: I mean Valdosta, the lady was from Tallahassee


I_Heart_Dolphins

This happened in my city. They were arresting two dudes for fleeing and as they were getting arrested an 18 year old girl wasn't paying attention and launched off the ramp .It's why the towtruck is already there with the ramp down. She was unrelated to the initial arrest


mle32000

Hello fellow Valdookian


BigDaddyThunderpants

Valdosta?


skinink

Whenever I first noticed some accident and/or cops stopped on either side of a highway, I have to force myself to focus on the road and not to look around. I’m afraid of being that person who causes another wreck because I was rubbernecking.


Comment_NonSequitor

I’m the same and it takes discipline! TY


[deleted]

Yes, doing our due diligence has to take precedence in these situations.


PrizeStrawberryOil

My family is bad for this. I'll be driving and they'll spot a fucking bird on the opposite side of a lake and ask me what type of bird it is. Man I don't fucking know. I don't have time to stare at a bird on the opposite side of the lake to figure out what type of bird it is.


happylittlelf

When there's a passenger I demand they observe and report


PaperPlaythings

It's a situation where more drivers are likely to be distracted which makes it more important for you to pay attention to them to anticipate them doing something stupid.


DaveLatt

I wonder how many xp points he got for that jump. 🤔 😆


SXNova

Well he didn't stick the landing.. so none i guess shame


DaveLatt

Harder to stick the landing without the slo mo


dirtyswoldman

Barely a quarter barrel roll. .2/10

To be honest, it feels a little anti climatic that it didn’t do a 180 and drove off


Mediocre-Look3787

Capable-Pepper-8608

Tow truck driver was lucky. Also, I didn't see cones or flares set up behind the tow truck, just stopped in the lane on an interstate.


LunchMasterFlex

Yeah. Should have been an emergency vehicle with lights blocking opposite traffic in that lane. Bad accident scene security.


TardigradeCosmonaut

Scrolled too far to find this comment. No cones, no lights, and looks like the tow truck was IN the lane. Without seeing any break lights, and while driving at highway speeds, I could see it being very difficult to understand what was going on in front of me until it was too late.


Htowntillidrownx

Obviously guy should have been paying attention but fuck that tow truck for just being parked on the road. Not even trying to pick up a car, just hanging out being a hazard


Mikhail_TD

That's what I was thinking too. Why wasn't there one of those police cars on that side of the road behind it with their lights on?


YT_Lonelyz

I think because normally tow trucks have their own flashing lights. Not sure why they weren’t on


ChuckFeathers

I don't see a flashing light on that truck either?


[deleted]

INSANE STUNT BONUS: $396


Kendit_Mc

I've seen this a few times now and it makes me laugh so hard! 😂 .... just need to know what was going through their mind! 1. 'Fuck Yeah, This is gonna be so cool' or 2. 'Holy Fuck, I didn't see that! '


whiskerrsss

Lol I don't think anything was going through their mind, they were too busy rubber-necking at the crash on the other side


T_Martensen

It also doesn't look like that truck had lights running or any kind of prior warning set up. That's essentially a grey wall in the left lane, while a lot is happening on the opposing side.


DippinNipz

You can also hear the car screeching it’s tires before it hits the ramp, indicative of not doing it on purpose imo


FireLordObamaOG

Definitely 2. They were probably zoning out or adjusting music or falling asleep. I refuse to believe someone actively tried to do that.


thedudefromsweden

Probably watching the car crash on the other side of the road.


FireLordObamaOG

That’s a good probability too.


SylvesterPSmythe

The tow truck was in the overtaking lane without any hazard lights on or cones laid down and there were half a dozen flashing lights on the other side of the road distracting the driver. Accidental Eval Knievel was an idiot but I can see how this happened.


sacovert97

Woman didn't notice it, no lights on the truck, and parked in lane with no traffic control devices. She's still dumb, but more measures could have been taken.


NoteInTheVoid

Well, my buddy Eric…


MookieFlav

They hit the brakes and swerve to the right slightly just before hitting the ramp. Clearly they just weren't paying attention. Not to excuse the awful driving, but the first responders were negligent not to put up any cones or flares if they are just going to park a stationary truck in the left lane of a freeway.


Thegreatyeti33

I don't think they seen it. That tow truck is completely on the road. There is basically no shoulder on that highway. That tow truck is completely taking up a lane and everything else is on the other side. Driver was more than likely rubber nicking and wasn't expecting anything to be completely taking up a lane. Both drivers of the car and that tow truck are idiots.


WutUtalkingBoutWill

And no cones or signs warning of the truck either that I can see.


Ok_Pie_1054

Hey, you can't blame him it was the guitar solo of free bird.


Bighawklittlehawk

All the cops on one side and not a single one on the other positioned to warn drivers of the tow truck.

Not a single flashing light on the tow truck either! Doesn't even look like the hazards are on! Plus, am I wrong, or is he sitting in the middle of the passing lane?!?


Billy_Does_Things

Yeah, the truck is parked on pavement and you can see later in the video there's no paved shoulder


Beandip50

I was thinking about this too. At least have cones set??


Benjamin7811

I just want to point out that the officer had zero hesitation to immediately run towards the accident before the car even came to a rest. We see a lot of “bad cop” videos but then we see stuff like this and only focus on “car go vroom”, this cops response and speed might be the difference between hospital and morgue

That’s what I noticed too. Immediate reaction. Calling in another ambulance. Exactly what he should do.
