accidents

A Chicago, Illinois airport nearly became the scene of a horrific accident today as video shows a harrowing near miss between a huge jet and smaller plane.

There is some science to decide what intersections in Illinois are more dangerous than others. Statistically, the most perilous in the Land of Lincoln has a collision rate exceeding all others with nearly 200 collisions and if you've driven through it, you know why.

You would think that all the drivers in Illinois would get the clue by now. There's yet another report of an Illinois State Police vehicle being struck by a driver that did not move over.

This could have and probably should have been tragic. A suspected impaired driver ran into a truck and it almost immediately explodes, but all miraculously survive. This entire incident was captured by a traffic camera.

Thanks to doorbell cameras, we're seeing more strange encounters than ever before. That includes a wild scene that was recorded by a Midwestern doorbell cam recently as it witnessed a head-on collision and eventually a shootout.

My dad always taught me when roads are slick, assume oncoming traffic may come right at you. That has saved me more than once. A Midwestern mom showed quick thinking in a similar situation that likely saved her family's lives and that of the other driver, too.
