Living in sunny San Diego, it's not that often that I see much snow or ice unless I drive about an hour east to the Laguna Mountains which gets its share of both almost every winter. Needless to say, I don't have a whole lot of experience driving in the snow or ice; a little, but not a lot. Much like any other slippery road condition, I would expect that speed is a major contributing factor in most accidents. It's hard to tell in this video exactly what caused the SUV to swerve initially, but what happens after that is fucked up. Fucked up for him. I guess timing really is everything. Damn!

Happy Birthday CD!!
The distracted SUV driver drifted towards the centerline which was covered with a couple of inches of snow/slush. Instead of lifting off the accelerator and slowly (and safely) steering out of the slush the startled driver over-corrected, sending the SUV into the small truck. The next few seconds needs no explanation. I have never seen an SUV explode like that...
HFS-I wonder where that occured?
Thank you LisaKay! Ugh...
Anon1- That's pretty much how I had what happened summed up. Some people, when they get behind the wheel lose all forms of common sense. And I have never seen anything explode like that.
Anon2- I was wondering the same thing. The video didn't have much info about anything. I was also wondering why there was a video camera rolling in the first place. Who drives around with a camera rolling like that besides cops?
Happy (belated) Birthday, CD!!!
Hope you had one of these.
Thanks PeggyU. I did not get one of those beer cakes(looks delicious) but I did consume massive quantities of beer.
Horry Clap-just like that, you're dead

My nephew, (Sheriff's Dept.), says their cameras don't run until you turn on your lights and/or siren.
That's a sobering video.
