Strange Highway Accident Video

How can anyone think this was staged. Why did he have a camera? Perhaps because there was already road work slash an accident and he might have been part of a news crew? Notice there were already flares down and cones and a stopped car.

As a mustang owner myself, I see nothing unusual about a mustang speeding away in the left lane and being boxed in and unable to get out of the way of a vehicle disabled in the fast lane w/o shoulder....

What does any of this have to do with being a mustang owner? As a Nike shoe owner myself, I find the driving in this video to be horrendous.

LA. Notice the sign overhead says "Ventura Fwy." And yeah, freakin' terrible drivers. Classic LA drivers

I've seen 2-3 similar videos of other states where there are multicar accidents as cars crash into accidents that have already occured, IN THE SNOW. At least CA drivers drive with an expectation of clear roads. Northerners drive 80mph during snow storms and get into accidents. LMAO!

It looked like a bunch of accident footage pieced together.

Who enables a car alarm when stopped on a highway?

Who doesn't get the hell off a road after an accident?

is the van stopped on the inside shoulder or an actual lane?

I'm trying to understand this too because I'm not entirely familiar with LA freeways. Toward the end of the vid they show the busted van sitting on double-yellow lines. That doesn't typically mark either side of a shoulder... but it looks like one.

I'll bet that ghetto van that started this all didn't even have insurance.

Dangerous...expensive...improbable.

Ouch, so many people don't know where the brake is. =/

Some knew where it was, they just didn't know how to use it.

Wicked crash.....

the trucks lights were on actually, noticed this after further review, and anyone else curious to why there are cones in the midle of the freeway

also the truck appeared to be sitting in the far eft lane on the other side of 2 solid yellow lines,

which im guessing is a HOV lane or a left side breakdown lane, which are there to help avoid accedents as a broken down car attempte to make it all the way to the right

The van was definitely next to the median, but it looks like the road construction (noticing the pylons) turned the emergency lane into a traffic lane.

Its possible a car could have stalled there when the traffic was slower, and the department of transportation/cops didn't have it towed immediately, so it may have been more their fault than the guy who's van died.

Also, if there was construction, its very important for the DOT to slow the traffic down ahead of time as well or they could be liable.
