Video Captures Black Ice Accident Of Truck On Interstate In New Jersey

We often discuss the short time allowed to react in auto accidents and this video illustrates the point. In this case, the accident may be part of the result of the recent black ice conditions in New Jersey where a rapid and sudden freeze led to multiple deaths in various states.

The video shows how multiple tires and a wide base will not save you if they are all spinning on ice. I recall one sudden freeze driving to Chicago where there were a dozen accidents in a few miles. Virtually every one was a SUV. People often assume that they are invincible in a four-wheel drive.
