I'm not sure if this clip has been posted or not, but this is a pretty bad wreck!

OMG. That was awful but is anyone else wondering what in the world the driver of the mustang was doing flying down the far left lane, which isn't even a driving lane??? That van was completely stopped. Looks like another reason for insurance companies to raise rates of sports cars.

Why so many people slamming on breaks at the last minute.

Better question is why was the driver of the mustang flying down a lane that they should never have been in the first place.

As for the rest of the people, my guess is they were all on cell phones. Gotta love how only 1 of the cars had hazzards on as well. Someone find out what highway that was cause I definately don't want to be on it. Ever!

Looking at all the pylons, my guess is the genius in the mustang was thinking he would be smart by driving in that lane in order to pass the traffic that should have been driving slower in a construction zone.

That's in L.A. It's either the 405 Southbound or the 170 Southbound in the San Fernando Valley.

The average driver is an idiot. At least that's what I assume when I'm driving. Has kept me accident-free my whole life (been driving 24 years now).

That guy in the corolla either had some mad skills or just plain good luck, he swerved in like 4 different differects and slid the car all over the place and didnt hit anyone.

That Mustang took one hard hit. When they show a closer view of it, it looks like the drive shaft or exhaust system near the rear wheels is broken. Hope the people in the car were ok, looked like the driver was not moving. :shock:

Well he did good but actually clips the car on the far right as he tries to correct for the first skid.

darn, that was stupid. WTH was that driver thinking? Or not thinking? (cue Dragnet) Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb...
Wonder if this video was used as evidence in any lawsuit as a result of this accident? - Actually more like negligence. (Wouldn't doubt it.)
