what do you do when it's snowy and icy
and you have a wrong way driver coming
at you on the freeway this is minnesota
highway 100
the vehicle is in the southbound lanes
traveling northbound west metro side of
the twin cities and yes they are driving
with their hood up possibly from a
previous collision
multiple vehicles you see on the left
side of your screen there's already one
vehicle that's slid off lots very
slippery area lots of vehicles sliding
around and and working hard to recover
and and right as it passed another look
of a vehicle slipping and sliding in
that same location now going back to the
wrong way driver continued northbound
about a half mile longer ended up being
involved in a multi-vehicle collision
an ambulance was requested to the scene
and a large police presence state
troopers can't catch a break this winter
with all the stormy weather this vehicle
was headed right for that trooper on the
side before they corrected and struck
another vehicle while one vehicle even
hit the pole for the traffic camera
state patrol reports 377 crashes today
214 vehicle spin-outs or off-road
vehicles
four jackknife semis and that's just
from 5 am to 5 pm
we'll do a full storm recap in less than
90 seconds see if you can find the car
that hit the traffic camera the pickup
that lost control with the trailer the
cargo van with the loose door the car
that tried to pass on the right one car
that had to make their exit no matter
what a truck that almost went off the
bridge and one crash that felt like it
was happening in slow motion some crash
scenes had backups over 30 minutes
during the evening commute most of the
northeast metro got an inch or two of
snow while up to 5 inches fell in the
southwest area of the twin cities and
the airport reported 3.7 inches areas
north of duluth reported up to six
inches of snow due to the lake effect mn
crime on twitter also reported a
snowmobile crash in albany minnesota
with a lifelink helicopter being
requested now take a look as concrete
walls guard rails like this one and
median cable barriers
helped keep vehicles more or less on the
road
and clearly prevented them from going
into oncoming traffic or existing crash
scenes where they would have created an
even bigger mess
