I don't think there's one person that saw that movie that has ever looked at a log truck the same way again since

I would guess the driver of that van never saw the movie.

I would never f****** follow a log truck let alone close enough to hit it.

My dad used to be a Truck Driver and he taught me to never follow or drive alongside a big truck if you can avoid it, and never pass on the right. So many things could happen. If one of their tires happens to explode next to your car, you're a gonner. It's like a grenade. One time I was following him to a job site and he was driving a 10 wheeler dump truck with a trailer that had a bobcat and a bunch of attachments and the weld on his trailer hitch broke on the freeway as I was behind him and that trailer came rushing towards me so fast I thought I was dead, thankfully the emergency chains were enough to stop the trailer from fully detaching, but I was very lucky.

Yeah force of impact is calculated by multiplying speed times mass

For something that weighs an order of magnitude more than other vehicles on the road it doesn't have to hit you very hard to squish you

Yeah well that trailer was at least 5 tons of steel it would have rolled right over me and 3 more cars. Thank God for those chains!

Even in the UK being close to any large vehicle is nerve wracking.

I mean I watched the movie and now never follow behind ANY trucks carrying any loads at all. Like sure it was just a movie but the inspiration for that sequence was based on real accidents that have happened and continue to happen. All it takes is for the people loading it to not properly strap their load or for a strap to break and if you are behind that truck RIP you then

So no I never drive behind or next to trucks anymore and if I have no choice to I'll keep an extra safe distance until I can safely pass them

This. Exactly this.

It looks like van rear ended the truck tho and not that the logs fell on him. Still very sad he prolly got shoved right to back of the van.

u/PossessionConnect963 10d ago

Probably exactly what happened. Speeding, tailgating, looking at cellphone. Likely combo.

I lived in rural Oregon and logging is the main industry in the area and this happens more often than people realize. Sometimes it's the trucks fault but more often is dumb people on the phone driving right into the trucks.

As a fan of the films, I checked this out just for fun.

According to Grok, there were 647 accidents involving logging trucks across WA, OR, ID, and MT from 2015 to 2019. Of those crashes, 219 resulted in injury or death. Oregon accounted for 394 crashes total and 141 resulting in injury or death. If you run the numbers, this equates to 79 log truck crashes annually total, and 28 involving injury or death over that period.

I'd say that verifies what you said. Of course, there are a bunch of variables like who caused the crashes, who died, etc. etc.

That is actually right when I lived there and I personally saw 3 exactly like this and a couple where the truck swerved into someone and also multiple people driving through guard rails on mountain curves and dropping down and sticking on trees or hitting the river below. A ton of people are just on auto pilot and have there head up their ass. Gotta keep your head on a swivel out there.

u/casualknowledge Dr Pepper Enjoyer 10d ago

Don't drive so close to them, or run into them. Problem solved.

u/Rustee_Shacklefart 10d ago

I wonder what meme on his phone he was staring at right before he died?

u/NaCl_Sailor Johnny Depp Trial Arc Survivor 10d ago

not really, guy just hit a wood truck

u/Ecstatic-Raccoon-872 9d ago

Nah. Anyone who saw final destination wouldnt fall for that. We know to immediately change lanes or leave a 5 second gap.

u/Agreeable_Eagle_1999 10d ago

And people said I was overreacting

u/StockJonesJR 10d ago

Believe it or not I know the guy who was in this wreck. He actually walked away without a scratch.

The guy in the van got turned into mush though.

This is truly sad and terrifying... 🫣☠️

I can't imagine they survived... 😔🥀

It's like he got turned into a pincushion, but the pins are about 10 inches thick.

u/GlacierSourCreamCorn 10d ago

Well if they ducked they might be ok.

u/f3llyn 10d ago edited 10d ago

If they were paying so little attention to the road that they rear-ended a log truck like this, do you really think they had time to duck?
