Default D.O.T Cam of 45 Car Carnage
This happened this past Sunday near Milwaukee. I guess everyone in Wisconsin forgot how to drive in winter. It starts to get interesting at about 3 minutes in.

I was kind of surprised at the people standing amongst the wrecked cars on the right hand side of the video. F'k that! My ass would have been way over to the right. Off the road.

No, they forgot the toilet paper and are returning to Wally World to pick up a six-pack before the milk gets warm. LOL

No worries. They have four wheel drive.

Pro tip: If you're in the middle of an ongoing pileup, stay in your car or get waaaay off the road.

#1- Why are they driving so fast? They know better than that.

#2- Why the hell would you get out of your car, and stand in the middle of an icy interstate?

The wife and I were driving home last Sunday from Wisconsin and had to reroute around that mess on the interstate.

A 4 hour drive took almost 6 hours I94 South ( main interstate between Milwaukee and Chicago) was completely closed down as well.

The idiots were out in force Sunday and they all forgot how to drive in the snow.

Not me. I am getting out and far far away. I don't need an 18 wheeler flattening my car while I sit there waiting for nothing to happen.

There is a WHOLE LOTTA stupid going on there.

I see people all the time that drive according to the car directly in front of them. Not me, I am watching two three four cars ahead as well.

I'm always surprised at how grossly some drivers overdrive conditions and their skills.

But, I have to admit that in my younger days, I was probably one of them.

the D.O.T. should have closed the road to prevent that type of thing from happening.

Those were folks needing to be thinned out of the herd. I've seen some dumb shit before, but those people take the cake. for the ones that lost life, but no surprise considering their actions.

See, that's why we close roads down south at the mere threat of snow/ice.

Hmm, the Packers played Sunday...So the only people on the road would likely be the Illinois folks that invade this state every weekend.

This always happens during the first snowfall of the season. People do forget how to drive in it. Now the next few snowfalls will have everyone overcompensating, driving too slow and paranoid. It's an annual ritual, very predictable.

Wow, what a horrible wreck. I cannot disagree with the sentiment here, but I will say that a colleague of mine was driving North and was a little ways behind the wreck. He said the roads were like ice and in REALLY bad shape, not just a typical winter, half plowed road. He thought Wisconsin would come under if for their lack of attention to the roads.
