Brutal Highway Crash

Driving is dangerous as fuck. I almost got in an accident the other day because the idiot was driving on the wrong side of the road.
 
Man...If that truck wasn't there, or it was a vehicle with a normal height, the camera car could have seen the white car and avoided it. I'm surprised the truck driver didn't see it.
 
I've just gotten a job as a traffic reporter. Been doing it for a month now and already I've seen a ton of stuff. A little bit of rain today and there were crashes galore. Had a fatal rear end that caused a four car pile up. Shut the highway down for 7 hrs this morning. Also heard on my scanners that police were looking for a driver going south in the northbound lanes on another highway.

Earlier this week, a couple of tourists were smoked trying to change a tire in a live lane of a busy highway!

QEW in Mississauga with Lincoln and BMW, 407 tire change?

One of the big-3 papers, or something smaller/different medium?

i drive the QEW, 401, 427, Gardiner Expswy pretty often. surprising how fast those Canadians drive. there's NEVER a traffic cop out on these roads. i've never seen an accident there though, even though there's such a high concentration of asian drivers
 
All it shows is that safe drivers are still screwed when even one idiot does something wrong. Nothing to be proud of in dying while doing everything right.
 
That's why driving at night is so fucking dangerous. Even if you're a good driver, you can't avoid shit like that 'cause you can't even see it coming.

The Ontario Provincial Police patrols them regularly. They mainly handle aggressive driving complaints and incidents (collisions, disabled vehicles). There are several accidents a day across Toronto but most are fender benders. Most are just property damage or minor injuries. Highway crews clean them up pretty quickly to avoid major disruption. The cops only investigate if someone gets seriously hurt or killed.

Less cars at night but it can still happen, just less likely IMO. Maybe in your area the only time the roads are clear is at night haha, could be a misunderstanding.
