He's my neighbor. He lost his brakes at the top of the hill, when he got to the run-away ramp, he was going too fast and had a full load. He thought he was going to roll the truck if he turned into the ramp. He saw the concrete barrier and thought that it would be the only way to stop the truck without hurting anyone else. He had the air horn on all the way down and was glad that the red pickup moved out of the way. He saw the car and swerved enough to side swipe it, the car's driver was okay. He braced himself against the dash and walked away with bruised ribs (maybe broken).

Wow I was wondering, I thought maybe traffic had been backed up and was blocking the escape ramp so he couldn't turn there but Glad to hear everyone made it out mostly okay! Poor guy!

I was at the big hill at the time of the big hill crash.

That’s one way to spread a load of dirt!.

Disappointing to hear that the runaway lane was not used because the driver felt he was going too fast. I suppose engineering will always be a series of compromises.

Run-away ramp? I didn't see that and it looks like he missed it too.

Thank god Cochrane Ontario ain't got hills like that!

Brake failure is 99% preventable with reasonable and regular maintenance. These guys just try and drive the shit out of their rigs and avoid the costs and time associated with maintenance. They should be held fully accountable to all damages. Over and out.

Brakes failed at the top of the hill, he attempted to take the runaway ramp but it was partly blocked by traffic and he feared rolling taking too aggresive of a turn: he used his horn the whole way down and using a calm head avoided any major collisions actually opting into hitting the concrete barrier to bring himself to a stop and to prevent hitting anyone else. This was the second large truck to fail on this hill this same year.

To be fair… it is a big hill

Most end dumps I encounter on our highways and streets are always traveling to fast. Been like that for years and needs to change. When you driving down the QE2 doing 115 to 120 and one of them passes you, which is quite often, it’s to fast to be driving something of that size with or without a load on. I owned a 38ft motorhome for years and had a huge amount of respect for the weight I needed to stop and distance I left in front of me for stopping. Doesn’t seem to faze some of these drivers when they are all over your bumper on roads. And the ones that do leave space, there’s always that vehicle that feels, oh look a space for me to jam my car in front of that big semi…..

He could've panicked and hit any car but kept his cool and hit the divider. If he works for a company then I hope he sues them to the sky for negligence.

Air brakes.. each time the brakes are applied the system uses and loses air, until the compressor can build more air pressure, apply the brakes too many times and there is not enough air to apply the brakes, no brakes oh shit. Trucks have to go down hills slowly so the air compressor can keep up with air supply.. you people in cars need to be patient.. it's the way it is.. or die

Air holds the brakes off, without air they lock up.

This was caused by negligent vehicle maintenance. Dual circuit braking should not fail like this.

Brakes don't just fail. Vehicles, especially heavy trucks, that aren't properly maintained by the owner/operator can have a variety of component failures, but the most disastrous is brakes that fail due to poor or non-existent maintenance. Owner: Guilty

Driving a 1964 Beetle with a single piston master cylinder. I applied the brakes, a rear wheel cylinder let go so I lost all pressure and the pedal went straight to the floor. Car didn't slow down at all. I was lucky enough to have an escape route on the right. Brakes worked great at the previous light so I would say they can just fail.
