    The driver is lucky the front of the vehicle took the brunt of the fall damage. Tho to me some one needs to add guard rails to the sides. Probably goobernment beauracracy felt it was too costly to install. That is until people start dieing from lack of guard rails.

    Apparently the snow plow had pushed the snow up against the barrier which created a perfect ramp to launch the truck over the barrier.
