The Dangers of Working on the Side of the Highway!
Hey guys!
On todays video, we were called by a customer, after they were involved in an accident, where a Ram 3500 left the roadway, lost control, and struck a truck and trailer, that was out loading a utility truck that was broke down on the shoulder of the road.
Unfortunately all involved were injured, but the driver of the transport truck that was loading the broke down utility truck, was taken by helicopter to the hospital.
Please keep all involved in your thoughts and prayers!
Hope yall enjoy the video, thanks for watching!

How did you do
So this person got arrested for DWI, got their truck out of impound and then immediately causes a major accident where life flight was called?? Sounds like they should never be allowed to drive again.

I don’t know what they were originally arrested for.
Praying for the care flight patient. Good recovery. Hope you get your power on soon. I changed my donut spare out with a full size tire, and I carry a tire pump in my trunk just to be on the safe side.
Thoughts and prayers for the injured folks

Great job and great video ! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Blessings to ya both.
Great vid Dustin! Good idea on the generator. I feel for y'all in the Houston area having to tolerate the heat and normal Houston summertime weather without power due to Beryl; San Antonio was spared when she went veered east of town although we were hoping for some precip. Stay safe out there!
Love watching your skills. You should be very proud of yourself.
Great Job Dustin! Now for that flat tire change, young able men that cant change a tire?

Just a suggestion, when my dad got his truck towed for his driveshaft falling off. I saw you had trouble with it moving when you lifted it on the bed. What the tow truck for my dad did was bungee strap it up so it wasnt hanging down onto the road/bed

Wouldn’t work, driveshaft is out on the transmission side which means it’s still connected at the differential, as the truck moves the shaft is constantly going to spin which makes securing it pretty difficult, best to just let it hang and help it over the edge of the bed and the pockets. If it were out on the differential side it would be easily securable as it wouldn’t spin at all.
Crazy, stay safe out there.
In Alberta, an officer was hit by a passing car, and the Province passed a bill that is to force motorists to slow down and move over one lane when faced with vehicles on the side of the road. But most people drive like they are obvious to people on the side, stopped and preventing you from moving over, or are outright abusive.
Looks like speeding was involved if the pickup ended up that far down the road after hitting the truck & trailer..

Good little ways, that’s the main highway so it got pretty backed up
Just curious how that Ram even passed a vehicle inspection. With that steering wheel on it the air bag system is deactivated.

Texas is doing away with inspections in about 6 months.
As a fan of 2nd Gen Dodge trucks, that was a nice 1 ton not sure if it had the Cummins or not but it's a Shame how some people take care of their stuff. Why we cant have nice things. What a Bozo

Hey there!
I work in communications. I can’t tell you how many times I almost got hit. I had a coworker hit by a drunk driver. Pushed his E350 bucket van 20ft and up a curb. People just need to pay attention when driving.

One of my closest calls was down in your area off of 332 and Baldwin across from the Buc-cees. My co worker pulled up behind me, stepped out, and his van was clipped by a car. Luckily no one was injured. The guy drove off. Not sure how far he made it. These Texas drivers are scary.
Great work and fine editing on this video.
So on Monday my gramma had to go in a life flight she had to 2 surgeries and she should be coming back home today but my other grandma died In the accident .😢😢😢😢😢😢

Because in Texas you can only have amber facing the front.
what kind of impact do you use and what if they don't pay? do you tow there vehicles away?

Where did you get those light up cone things? That would be very useful for when I am on a roadside call and I'm in an area where it looks dangerous.

Older generations aren’t any different, why do you think the younger generation can’t do it? Because the older generation can’t do it to have taught the younger generation. The failure started with the older generations and continued on.
Hope your electricity is restored soon.

Wheel is the strongest part to hook to in most circumstances. If it breaks the wheel, the wheel was already compromised.
