SUV Spins Out on Black Ice and Slams Into Car on Czech Motorway

Vyškov, Czech Republic – A fire engine dashcam captured a grey SUV skidding into a red car on an icy stretch of the D1 motorway.

Footage released by the South Moravian Region Fire Rescue Service, HZS Jihomoravského kraje, shows the engine stopped at the scene in thick fog on Sunday, November 8, when the SUV comes into view, slides at an angle and clips the red car before continuing towards a fire engine parked ahead.

A firefighter is heard on the radio saying: "Close the highway completely, call the police. The bridge deck is all ice, cars are uncontrollable, it's like a projectile."

The service said firefighters in the Vyškov area were dealing with a series of traffic collisions on the icy D1, and that danger on roads is one of more than 20 types of hazard recorded in their procedures.
