The weather has been horrible and truck drivers are unbelievably irresponsible; they drive way too damn fast and generally I dislike traffic laws but they really need to crack down on this.

I know it takes a lot longer for a truck to stop than a car, but it looked like the driver didn’t even try to stop.

Something was wrong before the FedEx truck showed up.

Most of the time in these types of icy conditions, people are following too close and their traveling too fast for existing conditions. It’s not too complex.

There was a flare out and he did not even appear to slow down.

Well, there are going to be a few FedEx deliveries running late.

In all seriousness, praying for those involved! God Bless!

there were several reports of black ice earlier in the morning throughout North Texas

That will do it.

That’s why cars have a sensor that warns you when outside temps hit 37 degrees, slow down, roads can ice. Nothing worse than ice.

The vehicles on top of the car hauler look completely untouched. Unfortunately they didn’t have passengers in them.

Well there's one package that's not going to get there on time.

Interestingly, the asshat holding the camera escapes critique for his rubbernecking.

Aside from all the reckless drivers - many of whom have outside temperature indicators in their vehicles - I despise rubberneckers the most.

When I drive, I keep my eyes on the road ahead, occasionally checking my rear view.

I’m hauling an RV to Florida this summer and dread I-95 because too many just don’t pay attention to driving.

As if texting weren’t bad enough, I witnessed someone with a newspaper spread out across their steering wheel a few months back.

We never have that happen in New York. People know how to drive here.

Nonetheless, may God bless those injured or killed.

Having just three lanes with concrete barriers on both sides is a recipe for disaster. There is no place to go.

I don’t know if these are pay to use lanes but that fad is killing people.

How awful!!!

Some of the cars look like they burned.

Some people are still trapped under other vehicles and the likelihood of them surviving is dropping by the minute.

Looks like it’s in the new express lane, which everyone drives too fast on.
