Speeding driver crashes into plow while trying to pass a semi on snowy NY road, wild video shows
There’s snow reason to speed during winter storms.
Chilling dashcam ꦉfootage captured the moment a driver in upstate New York crashed nearly head-on into a ꧋snowplow after trying to pass another truck.
The plow was driving along a two-lane road in the North Country region when the semi-truck’s headlights appeared ahead with a black sedan riding alongside it.
The passenger car — squarely in the plow’s path — desperately tried to speed up and overtake the semi-truck, but couldn’t gain enough space in the slush and snow on the narrow roadway.
That’s when the sedan swerved, smashing its side and trunk directly into the plow.
Small pieces of headlights and the blওack paint of the꧑ trunk can be seen flying through the air.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the terrifying acc𒉰ident.
“Note to self: don’t try to pass when roads are covered in snow and slush,” New York’s Department of Transportation
A spokesperson for the agency could not confirm where the accident took place, but said the video “underscores the need to drive carefully during snow and ice conditions.”
