wow, even tho you couldnt see too much, the sounds alone were pretty freighting.

 

Wow....

Don't have much to add to this other than to say I'm glad I was nowhere near that scene....

 

I was wondering too so I googled it. Here is a bit more story on the accident.


Investigators believe that Selleh was trying to avoid a white 1991 Toyota Corolla that had struck the center divider just south of Highland Avenue, careened out of control and became disabled in the roadway.

They believe that Selleh was struck by a vehicle trying to avoid the Corolla and was thrown from his motorcycle. Other cars collided as drivers struck the Corolla or tried to avoid hitting it, said California Highway Patrol Officer Alex Delgadillo.

The unidentified driver of the Corolla was questioned and released, police said. The CHP did not have a tally Sunday night on the number of injuries.

Brad Baker, a video director who runs his own business, was leaving a nearby party where he had been working when he heard a loud crash and a long screech of tires. He ran to the freeway. By the time he arrived, he said the officer's motorcycle was already lying on its side.

For nine minutes, Baker said he filmed car after car traveling over the Cahuenga Pass at speeds he estimated to be about 70 mph. Cars spun out and skidded, with some slamming into the wreckage. Some drivers avoided the first few crashed vehicles only to smash into others beyond them, said Baker, whose video was purchased by KTLA-TV Channel 5 and also appears on latimes.com

 

why didnt they push the car of the road ?

 

because they're forons

 

would you guys want to push a car in the middle of traffic that can barely see the car let alone you? the guy almost got hit by the first car that slammed his breaks.. id run out of the street too.. i would want to be pushing a car and some guy come and not see me and just take me out.. id rather them hit my car then hit me

just my .02

 

very true!

 

Some Autobahns in Germany are darker than this Freeway/Highway...whatever, don't know the difference.......I wonder why nobody who avoided a crash stopped and turned his emergency blinkers on. or what ever you call them.

so everyone kept on driving and the following traffic had no chance to avoid to run into that car.



And what's weird too , why the hell are some guys sitting next to the road with a camera, filming a car loosing control? Ghostride the whip or what?

 

the car you saw spin out wasnt the cause of it all... read guys, the guy who had that camera heard tires screeching so he ran to the freeway. the car you saw spin out was a car who avoided the bike and car that hit the center median.
the cause was the motorcycle and toyota that crashed before the video started.
just my $.02

 

oh now I get it, I was wondering what that article had to do with that video!
lol

*shame*
