We're not professional lorry drivers, and we don't regularly drive long distance across The States – especially not after heavy snow – so we can't really sympathise with this HGV-driver who unknowingly caused a snow explosion... under a bridge.
Confused? Well, let us explain. It seems that when you have a huge pile of snow on the roof of your lorry and you drive under a low bridge, well... everything goes all kaboom and stuff.
Fortunately for us (and you), there was a driver behind the lorry – a safe distance, mind – who had a dashboard camera to record the somewhat surprising event.
Seriously, they don't tell you about this in the Highway Code. You know, "Always keep a safe distance behind giant lorries covered in snow driving down the motorway." Hell, maybe there is a bit on it...
Anyway, check out the impressively explosive footage below.
