An icy bridge from freezing rain on the Sam Houston Tollway caused numerous vehicles to slide, with some losing control while many narrowly avoided contact with the barrier or other vehicles. Captured with a drone during the winter storm of January 15, 2024.

Some of those idiots are just driving too damn fast. How do they not understand how it works?

some of the vehicles were driving way too fast for ice.
Why do they have emergency flashers on?

Shame the smarter people have to suffer for the selfish, dumb asses.

Not a single Altima involved.

The last time the roads were iced over in the BR area there were numerous idiots driving normal speeds over the Amite. Saw many of them later up against the guardrail.

Vehicle speed, quality of tire tread, braking, steering movement matter

Bumper cars on the toll road.

Every time it freezes I get reminded that the tollway is just one huge bridge -

The amount of morons in the first 60 seconds is wild.
People flying way too fast and women (we all know they do this), SLAMMING on the breaks in ice completely fricking the person behind them.

My wife works at Baylor Scott & White in Dallas, I drove her up to work Monday morning in my truck. Some fricking dumbass was in the middle 35E standing behind his car that was being towed by a Penske truck with no flashers on at all waving at traffic to go around. Mind you, this is at like 8:00 in the morning when it was still spitting snow and a little foggy. Not sure what happened as Dallas and TXDOT did a good job getting brine down on the interstate.
People are dumb as frick sometimes.

Texans going Texan, no such thing as a speed limit. We are big, bad Texans.

Some of those looked like there was no chance in hell they were going to save it and they somehow saved it. Some of the ones that I thought were slow speed enough to avoid collision are the ones that had impact.

That bridge needed to be closed. Then when that debris was in the road, everyone was doomed.

I hate Houston and the people there.
The people have the famous Texan false bravado and they drive like it. Good chance of there being some ice on bridges. They fly by in their company work trucks or Yukons going 85 then slam the brakes at the bridge.
Houston sucks balls

Reminds me of Florida drivers. I have only been here a few years but one thing I learned quick, these mofo's cant drive. The amount of aggressive driving is unreal even compared to Georgia drivers. So many wrecks and at places there should not be wrecks
I blame the fact that so many of them are from up north but who knows. They drive like dumbasses down here
