Drivers to Blame? A Seemingly Simple Curve in the United States Is Becoming a Constant Accident Spot
The YouTube channel The Turn has gained thousands of followers with a simple but addictive concept: a compilation of drivers slowly sliding out of a specific curve in some unknown part of the United States.
This seemingly harmless curve, transformed-itself into a trap for drivers and an irresistible spectacle for online audiences.
Unexplained and constant accidents
The curve of the The Turn offers no visible clues as to why so many accidents occur. It looks ordinary, with seemingly adequate pavement and no obvious indication of danger. Yet drivers continue to run off the road, and the videos continue to rack up views.

In the videos, filmed by a fixed camera on different days and in different weather conditions, the pattern is always the same: cars slide off the road, often crashing into trees or knocking over signs.
The weather does not appear to be a determining factor, as accidents occur on sunny days as well as in rain or snow. Furthermore, the speed is generally low, which makes the mystery even greater.
Viewers of the channel speculate that a change in camber in the middle of the curve could destabilize the vehicles.
Others believe the blame lies with drivers who underestimate the sharp angle of the curve until it is too late.
Interestingly, cars of all types — from supercars to 4x4 pickup trucks — are seen both missing and completing the turn without difficulty. This reinforces the theory that the problem has more to do with the driver’s skill than the road.
A journey from serendipity to virality
The creator of the channel, whose initial goal was to produce videos about skydiving, never imagined that filming a curve would become so popular.
The change happened by chance, after the success of a video where a Tesla slid on a curve. The video went viral, and the channel's focus changed to documenting accidents in the The Turn.
Since then, the location has remained anonymous. The creator chose not to reveal the exact location, perhaps to avoid increasing the traffic of curious visitors or to maintain the mystery that so fascinates viewers. The decision did not prevent its success.
The channel has built a loyal fan base, who come back regularly to watch new videos of slow and, paradoxically, reassuring collisions.
What makes The Turn What is so intriguing is its apparent normality. Unlike more extreme scenarios, such as dangerous mountain curves or icy tracks, this place is nothing special.
However, the frequency of accidents creates an almost comical sense of inevitability.
