LiveLeak.com - Car crashes into traffic jam on E40 highway exit

What do y'all think of this disaster? Classic case of irresponsible off-ramp behavior.

Crazy, will make you think twice about last second exiting.

Thought it was strange how the lady in the Audi and the white truck randomly decided to pull over on a freeway to talk.

Did you see the lady's comment. She was upset that the video was released before her trial. She is very lucky to be alive.

Those backed up off ramps are a *****, especially when peoples' view is obstructed by passing trucks, and they simply assume that even though they can't see the road, that the road is open.

I do not know if she is generally an idiot, but this was an idiotic move on her part. She should have not changed lanes without having a clear view of the lane she was changing into. She cut so close to that truck, she did not leave any space to view ahead into the other lane. If she would have left normal room, she would have saw the traffic.

In defense of the driver I'm pretty sure it's illegal to stop on the highway, whether that be an on ramp or not. The truck should not have been at a complete stop sitting there.

The traffic was backed up, perfectly legal situation, or have you never been in stop and go traffic before on the interstate?

Just noticed this, first go around I saw the orange truck the white truck and the silver car, there was plenty of room between the silver car the one in front of it, it appeared to be stopped on the road, not in traffic.
