Oblivious Trucker Drags Wrecked Car Four Miles Along The Freeway

How it's possible not to see a crashed car hanging off the side of your truck, we don't know, but whatever the cause of the accident, this trucker was unaware until forced to stop by other drivers

This is the moment a passing driver caught sight of a truck dragging a car down an American freeway, apparently completely unaware of the wrecked vehicle hanging off his rear end.

Amazingly, despite the car being massively visible in the trucker’s mirrors, the man who filmed this video says the pair went at least four miles joined together like this. We don’t know how the accident occurred in the first place but the car looks like a certain write-off. As for how the truck driver missed this, we can only assume he doesn’t check his mirrors. Ever.

The video also captures the truck apparently being stopped by another car, shortly after which the driver of the wrecked motor seems to ask the man filming the action to stop.

Would’ve had better luck driving an orange Supra, I guess.

Even the same Peterbilt! LOL

Or a Honda with green neons, just if you like ricing.

Aww nice to see people helping a citizen in need

Assuming the small red car has added significant amount of drag and utilizing the drag coefficient equation, which is…
Cd = D / (A .5 r * v^2)

I have calculated that this truck driver is an idiot

Your calculation missed the amount of sheer torque these truck engines have hence why he didnt feel the drag of the car

I drive a truck myself and I’ll tell you that you wouldn’t feel that extra drag. See it, yes. But you wouldn’t feel it.
Although American trucks are significantly less powerful that those down here in Australia, I still don’t think a tiny car would make much difference

I knew I shouldn’t have listened to Siri!

I never understood the american obsession with drag racing.

Addition to speed and winning at the same time, that’s my way of seeing it.

I like to drive, but thelegend27 keeps on dragging me

Insert many F&F memes

you have to remember though that truck/ lorrys/ HGVs have MASSIVE BLIND SPOTS so unless your at least 20 foot back its very difficult to see you. Now Im not saying thats what happened here, by the looks of that car id say he lost control and ended up like that and on a truck that size the driver wouldnt of notice it (probably)
