Accident victims captured their own accident on dashcam, which was obtained exclusively by TLS.
At around 8:30 AM this morning, a Skillful Driving School student was waiting to make a turn from County Line Road, when a truck slammed into his vehicle from behind, causing him to crash into a fence.
Inside-facing dashcam shows the force knock out the instructor, and the student immediately checking on him to ensure he was okay.
The student then exited the vehicle and immediately called for an ambulance.
Hatzolah treated the instructor before transporting him to JSUMC with non-life-threatening injuries.
The truck-driver admitted fault at the scene, and apologized for the accident.
Police are investigating.
[VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED]
budget car seats are not the same strength as a more regular priced car
Driver was probably on his phone
that student obviously got a good solid education that he had in him the feeling to act correctly and upon instinct he immediately looked around to help others in distress
LOL
It’s Lakewood, he’s been driving the family 15 passenger since he’s 13. The driving lessons are to get the license a little earlier.
I have no idea what this guy is talking about (‘Come on’). I grew up here, and don’t know anyone driving unlicensed.
(And just by the way, bikes are obligated by law to have lights at night – front and back, and it’s a good idea by day too – helpful for everyone.)
That’s why we have a triple lens Dash-Cam, so we get the front, rear, and the inside to show we weren’t on the phone and we were wearing a seat-belt.
Everyone should have a dual or triple lens dash-cam.
I hired a video & sound crew to drive behind me recording everything. That way if anything happens it’s all on tape.
‘er, you mean on memory card!
What & where did you buy yours from?
Poor kid!!!!
What a traumatic introduction to the road!
And what a mature boy he is!
His response shows his middos Togo’s!
Wow hope everyone is ok! What an amazing response from the student to right away jump to help someone else and with that being his first thought! What beautiful middos and true nature coming out!
Name for tehilim?
Turning left from county line is difficult as cars are Going full speed.
A) if you are turning left signal early
(Probably in this case wouldn’t have helped if driver was distracted)
B) can we get the County to create a middle lane for turning only
C) if you want to turn left check rear view mirror if there are any vehicles right behind you going full speed before trying to make a turn.
D) this is similar what I said, before trying to make a turn signal early and start slowing down at least a hundred or so feet before.
The safest will be to have a turning only lane.
My son was the student driver in the accident. He had his blinker on early and did everything right. The driver of the truck said he was not paying attention.
Miriam, you should be proud of your son! You can tell he is mature and level-headed. I hope he gets over the trauma quickly and always brings you nachas.
Amen
Your son comported himself very well.
Miriam
You raised your son correctly you shid be very proud of him kudos to u and ur husband
correction:
you should be very proud of him
IMPORTANT LESSON TO NOTE FROM THIS VIDEO.
Did you notice how the passenger was flung around even though he was belted in?
Lapbelts should be snug and low on the waist/ hip! Lapbelts worn high can actually allow the person to slide down causing the shoulder belt to snap the neck ch”v. Additionally, the lap belt worn high is not supported by the hip bones which can cause internal abdominal organs to rupture. For a pregnant woman the result can be and HAS BEEN catastrophic for the unborn baby!!
Very interesting – assuming all accurate, message should be spread.
Thank You! Amen! He is a great kid.
The only thing I got out of Driver’s Ed was a ton of 2nd hand smoke. My instructor insisted on keeping the windows closed while chain smoking.
Those were the good old days before PC culture ruined everything.
A Refuah Sheleimah for all involved to be healed from all physical and psychological issues from this accident.
wow what a mature young man. great instincts.
It’s sad to say that, but I’m surprised there aren’t more accidents coming in and out of Pine Park onto County Line. The Brookwood Pkwy light is way overdue.
After driving allot around lakewood I have many things to share about driving safely in Lakewood and what to look out for.
I’m sorry if my comment seemed to refer to your son.
He seems like a safe driver
It was the other drivers fault
He asked the passenger if he was ok even before the car came to a complete stop. Miracle that it went towards the fence and not at a high speed. C”V it could’ve rolled towards traffic… make sure car is safely stopped before doing anything else.
