Black Ice Brings Freeway to a Complete Standstill

Occurred on December 28, 2019 / Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA

Info from Licensor: "The Minnesota freeways became treacherous, literal ice rinks within moments. We were trying to get to the Minneapolis airport to catch a flight to Florida, when our driver made the split decision to get off the freeway as a semi was jack knifed up ahead. We didn't get very far up the exit ramp, nor did anyone else. Traffic at that point came to a complete standstill in the dark and pouring freezing rain. I have never seen anything like it. It was a complete nightmare, hundreds of accidents. We were stranded for a total of 5 hours. After 2 hours, the rain stopped, skies lightened, and no cars could move and the video was taken."
