Just unreal. Still amazes me that people think jumping out of a car is preferable to being hit in one. If she hadn't fallen down, this would not have ended well for her.

Hell.... I think she made the right decision .....her car didn't fare to well.. then there's the chance that her car could have caught fire and she would have been trapped inside it

What amazes me is the reasoning of traveling in such poor road conditions...find a motel and hold up until conditions get better....
Roads should be shut down anyway except for emergency vehicles...

Two stumbles isn't going to help her overall score.

Well like I said if not for falling on her ass the second she exited, she would have been dead or cut in half.

These kinds of clusterfucks, best thing to do is stay in a vehicle for protection, and if you got some time to work with and are in the direct line of fire for the next hit, you wanna get away and uphill or up the chain of stopped vehicles asap.

Yeah there's always the possibility you get crushed in your car. Fires are rare, but can happen. We had one here a couple of weeks ago, semi went right over a Honda Accord and stomped it under its steer tires, while the truck was still trying to stop. It lifted the truck's steer tires off the road and presumably squashed the car's fuel tank into the road and dragged it until it burst and ignited. But that was a pretty freak deal.

If I'm her, I would have hit the floor and rode it out. But there's no way I would have been sitting in there with my car right up under a semi trailer, waiting for what happened...I would have moved the car or else been watching it get blitzed from a fair safe distance.

It just goes from benign to deadly in a heartbeat sometimes....you can have light snow and a wet road one moment, then the winds shift and go frigid, suddenly you're on something very different.

And most folks don't notice the signs that it happened...like the change in road sound of your tires, sudden ice on your windshield borders, and lack of road spray from other vehicles, and nobody's leaving tracks anymore...and once someone fucks up and loses it, they all go down like dominoes behind it...

After watching a number of these pile ups on U tube I wonder about so called professional truck drivers.

[emoji2] I'd exit my vehicle and get clear of the whole mess as soon as I could determine it was safe to do so. Which could be tricky. :tongue:
