If you are like me you will watch it over and over trying to figure out what went wrong. Coming to the conclusion when faced with and out of control motorist there may not be enough time to move.

 

The best you can do is to keep you eye on traffic at all times, when near the traveled lanes of traffic. Better yet try to stay away from moving traffic as much as possible.

 

This could have been a tow operator loading the vehicle. Many would have parked their truck straight in front of the disabled vehicle and worked the drivers side controls. That would have the danger zone. If that vehicle would have struck the truck it would have spun down the side of it taking out the tow operator. Review every one of these instances with every driver you know. Discuss what they need to practice in order to go home.

It is very important that you or someone on scene is always aware and have their eye's on traffic.

And that somebody needs to be you. Do not be complacent. Something as mundane as placing cones at a scene could take your life.

HAAS Alert would have most likely prevented this.

That is a bold statement. Factors contributing to many crashes today are inattention, talking on the phone, texting, excessive speed, and driver inattention. A small majority of people are just too selfish to care about other drivers safety. They just do not care.
