    According to snopes that video was in made in Russia.
    Driving really isn't a issue since driver is dead I would think the burial was pretty cheap as I bet they only needed three or four shoe boxes. Don't look like there were pieces much bigger of any of it. Wonder what the suv's driver last thought was?

    I live in North Dakota and have lived here all my life. I swear we have winter 9 months a year, so I have seen my fair share of similar roads and conditions. There is nothing in that video that points to cell phone use or texting. Until there is an official investigation of the phone records etc then there is no proof at all that it was the act of texting or cell phone use that caused the accident. I seen the van drift slightly also. I also seen the tap of the brake lights and the skid into the straight truck.

    So your little video has no value in this topic.

    I completely agree with this post a person who drives a pick up by no means is a truck driver

    I didn't snap one but almost every electronic sign in MN had a increased texting enforcement message on it today.
