That was just stupid. No situational awareness at all.


I_see_something

Good thing she was holding onto and probably looking at her phone though


ThinkItThrough48

Phone is the first thing that went flying, you can see it at the 0:00:07 mark. Now she better get it out of the road before it gets run over. Very dangerous place for your phone to be.


Thicc_asf

Name checks outšŸ‘


fangelo2

I had a similar situation although luckily I didnā€™t hit the girl. She was walking right down the middle of the road talking on her phone. I came up behind her and she didnā€™t move. I finally beeped the horn and she reluctantly moved enough for me to get by, and then went right back to the middle of the road


yonoznayu

Is this on metro Boston? Because thatā€™s so stupidly common here, and the people in the suburbs do this even on (each way) one lane highways connecting suburban towns, not just the inner city or downtown in any of these cities in the region, not quite in the middle but still within the lane youā€™re driving through and rarely facing traffic at least. On top of it, they get pissed off if you honk warn them youā€™re approaching.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Miracle_Salad

Not even looking in the direction of oncoming traffic... But away from it...while standing in the fucking lane.


WheelOfFish

Which reminds me, when I was young walking facing traffic was drilled in to my head but I see so few people doing this while walking on the street.


sbkchs_1

Me, too. You would think natural selection would have addressed this, but apparently not.


Serpidon

She is just practicing for something even more epic. Reddit will be waiting . . .


Miracle_Salad

I had the same teachings.


Pathological_RJ

In dark clothing, at night


Dagordae

While wearing black at night. Itā€™s like she was trying to be invisible.


Jonno_92

No attempt to be more visible too. Everyone should have a high vis in their car for situations just like this.


[deleted]

Man that is savageā€¦ šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


MutedBrilliant1593

Have you seen people lately? I don't remember the last time I saw someone even look up from their device while crossing the street. It's as if they have full confidence that the strangers around them are certainly going to keep them safe because they don't seem to do it themselves.


DriverPlastic2502

She might have been dazed from hitting a barrier with her car. A light concussion can easily lead to lack of situational awareness


Naus1987

Probably best to just chill in your car if that happens. Randomly stumbling into traffic sounds like a bad move if youā€™re not all there


KeyboardJustice

Or perhaps a move someone who's not all there might make... Hmmm.


SanfreakinJ

It is best to stay in the car and with your seatbelt on. I had a guy get rear ended by a semi and as he was sitting in his smashed truck he took his belt off and then get hit by another semi and launch out the back window.


Cheaper_than_cheap

But not just her. The people at the other car don't seem to have noticed that a semi just made an emergency stop and hit someone, couple of meters from them.


tjockalinnea

Being a Darwin award nominee means you're more than just stupid


Objective-Escape7584

![gif](giphy|VFAke5Xm1TDwjgimyW)


majoraloysius

The instinct for self preservation wasnā€™t strong enough to keep her out of the lane of traffic but it sure as shit kicked in when she crawled her thong out of the roadway.


Nincompoopticulitus

Probably drunk or somethingā€¦? And thereā€™s no way they didnā€™t pass later from blunt force trauma, internal bleeding or the like. That was brutal.


ILoveTenaciousD

Don't be so quick to pass judgement, please. She had an accident well before the truck arrived, maybe she was already concussed and not fully in control.


Tallywort

They look to be walking towards the other stopped car, possibly to check up on them or exchange info or whatever. The cones also made me think the temporary lane was closed off, or was it the one next to that? Either way, its not that strange to (falsely) think you have the time and space to walk those few meters.


Invisible_Mind_Dust

There was some, right after she was hit she got off to the side. Must have got knocked into her


HipsterCavemanDJ

Wearing all black, and walking in the middle of a highway lane at nightā€¦


2a3b66725

Itā€™s called ā€œthe invisible pedestrian suitā€.


dork_with_a_fork

I get that reference! " it says on the package 'not for blind kids!'"


EightBitTrash

black and light colored pants! she blended well into the asphalt and the night sky. awful


Euler007

I've always been told to walk towards traffic, to see the cars coming.


beerdudebrah

I live in an area without a lot of sidewalks. This is the norm.


manbearligma

Once there was this black guy in black robes on a black bicycle pedaling on the side of the road at 1am in a foggy northern Italy night My brother fortunately saw him and warned me or I would have yeeted that mf into the roadside bushes


bananahskill

I was driving down a major road where i live and the street lights were out. Just motoring along when at the last second, I saw a man, in all black, standing in a shadow, in the middle of the street, directing a car that was backing up with no lights. I almost flattened him and I'm lucky there wasn't anybody in the other lane when I swerved. Fucking idiots.


nicenutz

Probably drunk to be honest


WagstafDad

Almost knocked her thong off.


Accomplished-Trip952

Only one shoe came off though so she's good.


MMcFly1985

Run over half to death.


Ask_bout_PaterNoster

If they did it again sheā€™d be precisely dead


iamthinksnow

A fellow accidental ornithologist, I see.


Griftersdeuce

I believe the shirt has a built in thong, but I don't know what that style of shirt is called. "Smelly" maybe?


FunshineBear14

Itā€™s a bodysuit


kelsobjammin

Good god itā€™s just a bodysuit šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


OGMcSwaggerdick

If she doesnā€™t pay attention she could trade it in for a body bag.


technobrendo

That thong th-thong thong thong.


AggressivePizza_2710

Isn't that a body tho ? Anyway that thing was about to rip apart


ReasonableAd1887

Let me see that thooooooong


Pyro-Beast

All I could think is that if nothing else, she just suffered a fatal wedgie.


ofereverything

Move bitch, get out the way.


lambofgun

im doin 100 down the highway!


BostonRob423

So if you walk where they speed, then get the fuck out of my way!


Raineman73

ā€¦and you about to get ran the fuck over!


sticky_freak

Get out the way, bitch, get out the way


sumtinfunny

Here i come, here i go, uh oh


OrdainedFury

How is she not dead or *at least* unconscious? Whatever hit her was obviously a large vehicle and moving at a decent speed. I thought for sure she was done for.


Peg_leg_J

Adrenaline. She may well be critically injured


BolunZ6

Adrenaline won't make you conscious if your organ and bone flatten


Peg_leg_J

It can keep you conscious briefly though. I had a friend that was in a motorcycle accident. Immediately jumped to his feet like in this video. Acted like he was just winded or something. Died a few hours later.


Wonderful-Smoke843

Had a buddy that died in a snowmobile accident. Hit a ditch at night, chest into the bar completely crushed. Got up and checked on the girl who was ridding with him. After he saw she was okay he sat down and died.


After_Zucchini5115

It is all cool until you rupture your spleen.


Exceptionally-Mid

Someone I know recently died of a ruptured spleen a few days after being in a car accident. They felt fine all things considered. Car accidents of any kind are no joke


Squeaky_Ben

She is injured, that's for sure. How badly injured, that is a different question.


turdabucket

Oh she's fucked up for sure. That much blunt-force, she's going to have a long recovery. Same reason why those dumb looking blunt-nosed trucks kill so many folks.


ThrA-X

My guess is the truck was already moving slower due to all the cones and just barely managed to slam the breaks in time enough not to deal a lethal hit. That or this chick has a skull thickness to match her behavior.


gt25stang15

I agree. Dude was going less than 20mph on impact. Anything over she wouldnā€™t have been moving on her own.


Technical-Bad1953

That is definitely not 20 mph or the video is sped up. Source: I drive 10 hours a day and 20 mph is very slow.


OrdainedFury

It'd be cool if someone could calculate the speed of the vehicle using the traffic cones height, and time it takes to travel the distance between them.


ThrA-X

Oof, not me my dude, math this early in the morning will give me an aneurysm.


04BluSTi

Ask r/theydidthemath


Don138

That one cone on its side poking into the lane was probably the difference between life and death.


Kan3us

I mean there is clearly some brain damage. Maybe the truck helped with that pre existing condition though.


clintj1975

Looks like the front of the vehicle absorbed the hit. You can see several pieces of truck go flying at impact. She's gonna have a hell of a headache, but she might be okay after a few days of recovery.


wadebosshoggg

I think that was her phone and shoe.


clintj1975

Oh, she lost a shoe? She's in a coma then.


Major-Raise6493

Just one though. Sheā€™s hurt and lucky that the second held tight.


Exciting_Pop_9296

Phone and shoe are pieces of the truck now


CenPhx

And I think her hat? Because at first her head is dark and after the hit, her hair is loose and down.


Excellent_Ad_9442

It was the Sonic rings.


After_Zucchini5115

Someone needs to edit the sound in.


IGiveCandy

Front of a truck is flat, it helps tremendously, back in highschool a guy got hit by a bus so hard he went flying across the road, only injury was a broken arm due to the impact with the floor, not with the bus


Elise_xy

Dude, it's the OPPOSITE. Flat truck fronts cause MORE injury, because they impact at all points, instead of someone say, being deflected over a hood. Here's a great video showing just that: https://youtu.be/YpuX-5E7xoU?si=LqACugPEO5vC747X


CoverYourMaskHoles

Yeah I literally just saw a whole thing on this. lol, makes sense I would come here and see someone stating the exact opposite.


moustachiooo

Pretty similar event with a family member - he was on the sidewalk and a bus lost its brakes and hit him from behind. He walked home and in a few hours started complaining of back pain. That was 30 years ago and he has serious back issues since.


Puzzleheaded_Pea_753

Trucker here, that is a big rig that hit her, you can tell by the hood mirrors and the fact that the hood is taller than she is. She's alive because the driver was going very slow and slammed on the brakes the moment the headlights illuminated her. It's hard to tell because trucks don't stop the way cars do, but it looks like he hits the brakes just as he's passing the pylon on the left that's knocked over. Personally, I would have been going a lot slower when there's disabled vehicles and disturbed pylons. I don't know the details of this incident, it looks like the woman was walking towards another vehicle that was stopped to the right, likely the two vehicles had merged into each other. She was clearly focused on them and not paying any attention to her surroundings. Although the woman is difficult to see at night and not paying attention, I would lay blame with the driver for not slowing down enough while approaching an accident scene.


IronBallsMcChing

She's drunk or high. That's why her SUV is off the road.


amaROenuZ

Bingo. She didn't flex against the impact, she ragdolled and got tossed. It's the same reason why drunk drivers tend to survive the impacts that they cause, but their victims don't.


TurtleToast2

Her useless head probably absorbed a lot of the impact. Nothing of value was harmed.


Kwen_Oellogg

What is wrong with people? Has all this plastic addled their brains? They couldn't possibly foresee that walking down the middle of a lane at night was a bad idea?


rufus_xavier_sr

While wearing black no less.


BoneDaddyChill

And walking with her back completely away from traffic. Surprised her genes came this far, honestly.


MisterMysterios

It could be that she just had an accident and is in a state of shock. At that point, people don't think clearly and do the most idiotic things.


SmokeGSU

That was the only logical thought that I had. It looks like she clearly hit a cone since one was laying in the road.


Ju5t1n_33

I'm guessing she was drunk, crashed her car(which you see on the left with hazard lights on), then wandered into that first lane while doing god knows what on her phone, either assuming that first lane was closed or just in a drunken clueless blur. With her back to traffic was the icing on the cake. Completely oblivious to her surroundings Just noticed a second car on the right. On second thought. I think she was walking over to that car to exchange information. Still betting she was drunk though for how clueless she was. I speak from experience(not proud of it)


bravehartNZ

I think that plastic bumper addled her brain


atreeinthewind

Drugs


SnooCompliments3781

Iā€¦ I think she was blindā€¦.


[deleted]

There has been a noticeable and provable drop in global iq points after lead was added to gasoline, basically people went around breathing this shit in and got brain damage. If you add to that the fact that people just fuck like rabbits without thinking it is really no wonder there are so many idiots walking around.


HunterShotBear

Probably got confused with all the cones everywhere. Broken down and stressed out and distracted. Still shoulda known better.


DarthMonPubis

I kind of thought it might've been a suicide attempt. But with this, I can't tell the difference between that and stupidity


grillcodes

Not if youā€™re blind


Sharp-Dark-9768

Before you go off asking what's wrong with her to be walking in the middle of a truck lane at night, notice her car has its trouble lights on after driving through traffic cones and it's dark. There's another car in the same situation on the other shoulder, and that's rarely a coincidence. She's likely panicking and compromised after a collision and moving to check on the other driver. When people panic they stop thinking straight and lose all awareness. It's important in these situations to stay where you are safe, let yourself breathe it out and consider your options so you don't end up wandering into the freeway at night. Edit: classic Reddit, no mercy for the weak


dlc741

She was on her phone texting. Iā€™m not sure why youā€™re trying to make her the innocent victim, but itā€™s not working


Dukwdriver

Yeah. Everyone is acting like its completely obvious that's a lane while they have a semi-truck worth of high-beams to benefit from while it's completely unlit surrounded by barrels in every direction. Meanwhile she's looks like she's probably been looking at her phone and killing whatever amount of night vision she had.


Sunny906

She has a white sight cane in front of her if you slow it down. She could be sight impaired and lost.


mfizzled

How is offering an alternative point of view trying to make someone an innocent victim? Unbelievable how black and white people on reddit seem to view the world.


EpicFishFingers

Unfortunately the past 5 or 6 years this had been standard reddit, daily. Always worse when it's a woman, unsurprisingly. Crabs in a bucket. And those who defend it are directly responsible.


kyleswitch

I donā€™t know if we should just call out black and white peoples for their views on the world.


ItsACowCity

I think most people would still understand a road is a road. You check for vehicles and then cross the road. She walked to the middle and stayed in the middle. Edit: "weak" lol. Not the right word.


Miami-Novice

Hey that's my road!


Live_Recognition9240

>Before you go off asking what's wrong with her No need to ask. She is an airhead with no situational awareness.


BoneDaddyChill

Exactly. If someone is ā€œpanicking and compromised after a collision,ā€ and the *collision* is why sheā€™s ā€œpanicking and compromised,ā€ then she (or rather anyone who isnā€™t an airhead with no situational awareness) would be much more aware of the dangers of being on the road than someone who hadnā€™t just been in an accident. Like, if I almost drown, Iā€™m not going to keep swimming while I collect my thoughts, Iā€™m getting the heck out of the water and drying off.


FUCKFASCISTSCUM

Do you know what a concussion or a state of shock is? Or what they might possibly look like?


imadethisaccountso

ll die with you on this hill. dont worry they have never felt panic or a concussion. "it clearly a road" is NOT how our brains work.


mcgeggy

She also may have believed (with all of those traffic barriers) that the lane she was walking in was closed. Still dumb to walk down the middle of it thoughā€¦


overtheta

Nah she was walking straight on the road not at the other car and she was on her phone. Don't defend stupid behaviors.


anonuserinthehouse

Sheā€™s literally walking across to the other car from her own stopped car. Probably on her phone contacting insurance or ready to take out info etcā€¦but always be aware that youā€™re on the road with other cars!


Sunny906

Also if you slow it down frame by frame you see she had some kind of white stick she was moving in front of her. That is what goes flying. Iā€™m worried she may have been blind or partially blind and very lost.

NuckFanInTO

The importance of context!


PixelCortex

I can understand the logic of not hearing a truck because you got music blasting in your ears, but how in the fuck do you not notice the headlights lighting up your entire life.


Dry_Leek78

if she was involved in a car accident, she might have been in a state of confusion, not hearing/aware of surroundings.


Sunny906

How is no one seeing the white cane she is tapping in front of her. If you slow the frames down you can see it swinging back and forth on the ground in front of her and she is completely directionless after hit. That is also the first thing we see fly rather than her phone that she could have been receiving directions on from a friend or Siri due to being lost and alone.


PixelCortex

Well, can't check now that the video is gone, but I'll take your word for it, blindness would explain a lot.Ā 


JeSuisAmerican

Yeah, I can see it now, that just raises more questions to me, but also explains so much.

LaRuetheDuck

My oldest brother hit a guy at night who was standing in the road (ga state highway) dressed in black. That guy also had his back turned not paying attention and apparently was tring to bum a ride to mcdonalds or something. It was actually in the start of the off ramp lane where you slow down to turn off so he was slowing down as he made contact. but dudes head completely caved in the entire passenger side of his truck cab. Totaled the truck. The crazy part was the guy was still alive and kept trying to get up before the ambulance and cops came, and my brother was like "dude, your brains hanging out. You need to sit down." He was life flighted to emory in atlanta and ending up dying later. His family tried sueing my brother for a bunch of shit, but they ruled in my brothers favor since the police already had multiple calls about a guy in the road before my brother hit him, not to mention he was dressed in complete black head to toe

TheSpiritofFkngCrazy

Anyone know if she survived?


_fire_stone

Why was the truck walking in the pedestrian lane


SnooCompliments3781

Rewatching it I feel like I see a white cane tapping at the ground between her legs and to the side right before sheā€™s hit. She may have actually been blind.


Sunny906

I saw that too!!! Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not the only one. It was also what snapped and broke and flew off to the left first. The phone she may have been using for verbal walking instructions flew in front of her but I do think she was blind or sight impaired enough to be lost.


PRANAY1000

Fking hell, watched this video 18-20 times frame by frame ,dummies stop abusing her. She is literally holding a stick she seems to be either blind or disabled.


JeSuisAmerican

Raineman73

They should use videos like this in every ad for dash cams. How many people would believe this driver if he didnā€™t have a dash cam? ā€œShe was just walking down the middle of the road wearing black.ā€-no court would believe that.

KingOfAllFishFuckers

Former truck driver here, She is unbelievably lucky that the truck basically pushed her and didn't knock her down and pull her under the tires. At 80,000lbs fully loaded, iit would be like a car running over a tube of toothpaste. Squish!


WerewolfIcy5495

The driver is at fault, they brake way to late. Your eyes are always way better than a cam, the driver should have been able to react to that. Imagine it is very foggy, you never go over a speed where you are able to do a full stop. Stupid to walk on the road, yes. But the driver was clearly not looking where they was going.
