Semitrailer slams into commuters, killing at least 1

1. kIlLiNg aT lEaSt OnE

   Kills 4

2. This young truck driver was selfish. Even if he was inexperienced driving through Colorado terrain and burned out his brakes coming down, he should've flipped his semi truck to save the lives of others. If I was in his shoes, I would've done the right thing by hitting the runaway ramp which he deliberately drove past or taken the truck towards the grassy part of the highway and try to flip it over.

3. No mention of the homeless guy who rushed in and saved 4 lives? His name is Darin Barton, who was panhandling nearby and rushed in to pull people from the scene. A GoFundMe has been started for him by a witness on the scene, please donate here:

4. My gut tells me he fell asleep or unaddressed medical issues

5. I don’t understand why that truck didn’t run into that little gulch/retention pond area in front of the bridge!

6. There's a lot of guessing in these comments. There is new video since then: https://youtu.be/QLu4ik2fgWA

7. Dumbass truck driver I hope Tesla do make smart trucks these drivers are idiots

8. Hope the other injured people turn out to be okay

9. I call hoax . The guy jus happened to record as the semi went buy ?
   This was a false flag accident to bring in more regulations against truckers

10. The driver said his brakes failed but it was either that or he was distracted like on his cellphone.

11. Cause big 'red', pulled the black tarped trailor….

12. He shouldn't have been driving our Mountains if he didn't know how to! Now he killed so many innocent people because he didn't know our Mountains are steep when coming down to the city he should not have been driving that truck he needed moor training. Those poor families that lost their loved ones.

13. Death is hiding in the bush.
    Don’t be too intimidated though, for the more fearful you are the sooner it shall drag you with it.

14. Come on the fucking truck driver survived?!?!? If i ever see that dude on the streets Im going to run him over with my car.

15. And of course the killer survives

16. Y'all watch out on those truck because most truck drivers are on drugs ..

17. Was it intentional or an accident!

18. Tragedy…

19. Most truck driver's like myself can not understand what this guy was doing, to me it looks intentionally done, than again he could've had brake failure, but that still doesn't explain the speed he was traveling at. The guy was flying.my biggest fear is accidentally hurting or even worse Killing someone on the road,I do a proper pre and post trip every day, but sometimes mechanical failure does happen. Hope all the facts come out

20. This wasn't an "accident". It was deliberate by a crazy Mexican truck driver.

21. I bet this driver fell asleep at the wheel due to sleep apnea. This is exactly why it is becoming mandatory for truck drivers to be checked for apnea.

22. Burger planet😂😂😂

23. sorry truckers, but your job will be automated soon to save lives

24. What Burger Planet on the news 😆 so sad my prayers go out to all the families

25. I’m sick of this. How come the guilty person never gets hurt or dies it’s always the innocent people. A few months ago on inside edition some drunk prick murders a mother pregnant with a child and snapchats the aftermath. My friend’s sister died in a car accident due to someone else’s mistake (he was drunk to) got off with only a broken wrist. So tragic and so cruel. I hate the world sometimes.

26. I no longer drive on the highways in Denver, it's a battlefield out there. People are in such hurry but are getting nowhere soon. Bring on the autonomous vehicles. No matter how faulty they can be, it's better than humans.

27. Did he fall asleep? Did the brakes fail??

28. He fell asleep, no doubt

29. That red Volvo looks identical to mine
    They have a “runaway” issue
    RIP to the deceased

30. Probably another truck driver who was sleeping

31. Looks like the Cruise control was on and the driver fell asleep.

32. That's why you live every day and every moment to the fullest.. You never know when your gonna take your last breath.. God Bless Everyone and R.I.P to the individuals that lost their lives in this horrific accident!🙏🏿

33. My only thoughts is maybe the driver just didnt give a fuck because man that was wayy to fast

34. No one needs these full semi automatic military assault trucks

35. What a scene to watch

36. I've been driving now for 5 years with a very reputable company who focuses all there attention and practice to safety. I know what it feels like to hit the slightest downhill grade when hauling 80,000lbs* Speed picks up very fast and you have to be alert. Questions I have; was the truck properly maintained? Did the driver fall asleep? What are his/her hours of service? I am quick to point fingers, but this is probably the driver's fault. Every time I get behind the wheel, I fear something like this happening. That's why you always take precaution. Bless everyone there and hope for a positive recovery.

37. Someday we'll realize that hurtling people and products down these highways at high speeds was NEVER a good idea… Long past the time to 'go reconfigure' 😐

38. the guilty party seems to survive a lot of the times, has anyone noticed that?
