1:25 that sedan should not have stopped in the inner lane. He partially caused that accident and should be held partially responsible. Obviously the rear driver is the one primarily at fault, but that sedan definitely contributed.
I can't believe you guys don't slow down when it's this icy, particularly into the corners 😳 I take it you also don't have any electronic signage to alert drivers of collisions up ahead. We have this in Australia and it's great. Might wanna think about that….
I'm from Pennsylvania, but I try never to drive when it snows. After seeing this, I'm not sure I'll ever drive on a highway again, no matter the weather.
Looking 1 year back on the big freeze that shut down the power grid in Texas and now we're having a heat wave that looks a little bit more like global warming. At least the Covid thing is in a slow simmer because we don't get comped for extended sick leave anymore
Reason why, we the people do not have the proper driving instruction, international driving instruction would be nice. I'm 66 years old and no accidents since I started driving. Get off of cellphone and loud stereo listening.
Bonus points for hitting the cop car, and a bigger fine on your ticket !!! Has anyone else thought about putting your low beam headlights on???? Duuuuuuhhhhh!!!
I was an owner operator or a small towing company in northern MN and what I learned over my many years on our roadways is that so many people now own/drive AWD vehicles which gives drivers a false sense of security due to the better traction. What most people fail to learn until it's too late in that even four wheel drives STOP just like everything else on our roadways, poorly when roads are slippery. Slow down no matter what other driver's are doing and give yourself an 'Out' in case of a wreck in front of you.
The reason why there will always be tons of accidents is because people have the mentality that it will never happen to them. They always believe that they are better drivers than anyone else on the road. That mentality is dangerous.
Speed limit drops to 30mph? Massive tickets for violations. Fixed? 😣 Bush Lake Road exit needs to be fixed I spun out on it when the sun was out. Black ice daily.
How come cars/drivers suddenly start slipping and sliding, even when just powder snow??? What are the regulations for tires in the US? No studded tires? M+S? And what causes the accidents? Bad tires? Cruise control? Texting? Drunk driving? Speeding (especially in curves)? A lot of pickups, at least in this video.

That's not overconfident it's called idiocy

Not the least bit surprised , the speeding & aggressive driving of Mn is awful on a good day worse in snow.
Us drivers are stupid

if you take the train or light rail to work you do not crash – stop being environmental terrorists by driving cars

To many damn immigrant's in
Minneapolis now day's that can't drive for shit
How does this month line up with numbers for previous years? Is it higher than "normal"?

Wtf was that Sedan doing @1:25 stopping on the HW for no f’n reason! I can’t stand people.
"Situational Awareness" is all important. No other way to explain it….tailgating causes accidents.
Shutting down the highways could eliminate much of this carnage. No wonder insurance rates are so high!
So sick of pickups and 4WDs blasting around on ice. They don't work! Slow down!
ΧΑΝΤΑΚΟΘΗΚΑΝ
Why don't people throw a flare on the road in places that have ice. Smart idea!
I love Minnesota but no way José, the I want to live there, it's to f cold 😢,,,
You know if everyone bought tires every year and slowed down, you would still have your car
Brandon can drive better than some/most of these Clowns. "Let's go Brandon".
