I’ll have the dark SUV to go, please, Just toss it on the hood. Oh, rats, now I can’t see. But if I put it on the roof, how will I get it down when I get home?
A Thanksgiving Story!
Amazing that the car taking the video wasn’t hit.
Amazing that the pedestrian wasn’t hit (and he’s back on the scene ~15 seconds after the crash, I assume to render aid!)
Amazing that the white SUV stopped on the line and in the lane.
I hope the passengers in the collided vehicles are OK.

So who’s fault was it? I say it was the car doing the t-boning bc why would one lane be stopped and the other side be going? But others in the post were arguing it was the guy that got t-boned fault.
@2many2no When I was in Cambodia traffic there was chaos in slow motion. The center line was for decoration only. The most important safety item on your car was the horn (no idea where the seatbelts vanished to in most of the cars I was in there). He who made eye contact first had to be the one to give way. And you shared the road with bicycles pulling trailers, entire families on motorcycles, tuck-tucks, cars, trucks, and the occasional elephant with people riding it. Oh and pedestrians would step out in the street, stare at the ground and you were expected to drive around them unless they looked at you in which case they had to avoid you.
Let me guess…the offending car driver that ran the red light was either texting (#1), talking on a cell phone (#2), watching a video (#3), was drunk and doing all of the above (#4), or…wait for it…wait for it…remembered the car keys, but left their brain at home (#5).
Where is that Allstate guy sitting in a chair in the middle of the intersection when you need him?
Or maybe the offending car was being driven by Dean Winters? Remember him? He was/is the Mayhem guy in the Allstate commercials. You know, the one in the suit with a Band Aid on his face.
@Jackinga Wow, poor guy. “It’s crazy if you look in the Webster dictionary, the Old English definition of the word ‘mayhem’ is ‘one with amputations,’” Winters said.
Wow… That dude in the jean shorts was lucky!
Whoa!!!
Yeah, that pedestrian should go buy a lottery ticket!
@Kyeh I think he already won.
@Kyeh I think he might need to buy some new shorts…
@Kyeh @shahnm
I think I would have looked both ways before stepping back into the street, just for safety.
Nice hood ornament.
@yakkoTDI yep… one of a kind! Limited edition.
/giphy omg

@mehcuda67 I saw the clip on the news and they confirmed nobody was hurt. Amazing!

Woah
We have that problem every day here.
Traffic laws have become STOPtional.

Dean Winters, The Allstate Mayhem and Chaos Guy
Winters has had an interesting life, including dying once and a few amputations thrown in for good measure.
@Jackinga Wow, poor guy.

Unbelievable. The car caused the accident, and parked as if waiting for the green light to go as if nothing happened
I kept watching this waiting for a fluffy, adoptable critter because of the title.
