Lol at the very least it is comical that they don't give any care or consideration to the accidents happening around them. I wonder if there were 10 cars all violently smacking into that truck if that would be enough to get some type of reaction.

I saw this hah. I would immediately can those employees. The insurance companies could sue Comcast for negligence. No matter what you say about how fast someone was going, the fact that multiple people had accidents and the Comcast employees still refused to do anything to remedy the problem makes them negligent.

What can they do exactly? They could put cones all the way back to the top of the hill and it wouldn't matter, the people would still have to get over or stop, and they would still slide. You can't put the cones on the other side of the hill because traffic from the other side has to go through as well, and that is a real safety hazard causing people to get over at a spot where people can't see what's coming on the other side of the hill. I'm sure they don't have authority to completely close down the road.

If the roads are that slick, people need to be going slower, period. Look at how far that truck traveled after it had several collisions and was going through people's yards. These people should be able to see the trucks ahead as soon as they clear the hill, and if they aren't driving stupid for the conditions should be able to stop with ease.

They should probably have some flaggers though. I don't know the state highway laws wherever this video was taken.

The guy was pretty annoying, just call the police and be done with it........it is not his fight after a couple of minutes of arguing.

You would think they would have a sign that says slow down or lane closed ahead or something else that they could put on the hill to warn people

They should, for locations with hills, like this. I'm curious about the laws there.

No one called the police so they can do their job? It is a traffic safety matter.

Eh? Yes it would. There is a HUGE difference between knowing and not knowing an obstruction exists in front of you that usually isn't there.

Ever seen one of these? You think they were invented just because someone wanted to invent something? Yeah, no.

Maybe they should just make them like this.

Driven in those conditions most of my life, some of the cars were going way to fast for the conditions of the road. Glad no one was hurt. Comcast could have put a sign further down the road that said workmen working so the cars would slow down, I am surprise that there was no salt truck yet with that many accidents.

The guy kept yelling at them to put more cones out.
