Tow Truck Dragged of Clif in Norway

It almost looks like the trucker steered into the snowbank or something. Maybe thinking he'd setup for that corner? It you watch closely it appears deliberate (at first).

 

I think he hadn't a clue about driving on ice and panicked ! That's what it looks like to me! It started to slide and he hit the brakes

 

Sorry mods about the post! I love this forum and get so much from it that I can't believe I haven't stumbled into this accidents sub-forum. Thanks for merging them, and thanks for not flaming me into cinders.

 

Actually what they think happend is as follows
Tow truckdriver says to the latvian not do do anything. Just hang in the winch. The latvian thinks he is up, and pushes the trottle to eas the cable, but hes gpt no clue in wich direction hes got his front wheels. So as fast as the cable got some slack, he finds out wich way hes got his front tires.. He shouldnt touched the trotthle..
