The owner of a Jeep Wrangler has found the challenging way that although the Wrangler is a quite capable off-roader, it can’t deal with an icy, snow-covered road without having great winter tires and chains.

The following incident was lately captured at Heavenly Resort in South Lake Tahoe, an location that has knowledgeable more than 67 inches of snow in the final week. The driver was attempting to ascend Ski Run Blvd to access the Heavenly Resort’s California Lodge but ended up triggering a multi-automobile collision that could have been simply avoided.

The driver of the Jeep 1st comes into view at the best of Ski Run Bvld and is initially faced with a modest descent and a row of cars that have backed up. Almost as quickly as the driver hits the slippery road, the automobile starts to slide and crashes into a snow bank. By that point, they ought to have stopped and probably asked to be safely towed out or waited for the circumstances to increase.

Instead, the motorist attempts to reverse out of the snow bank and in the procedure, the automobile spins about and starts sliding backward down the hill. The Jeep then gradually hits an additional snow bank and continues to pirouette as it slides gradually down the hill.

Video footage shows that the Wrangler then slammed into a white Tesla Model three, pushing the EV down the hill and into two other cars. The Jeep only came to a rest when it got stuck in one particular of the snow banks.

While it is unfortunate that the Tesla and the two other cars have been caught up in the incident, it is fortunate that it was all caught on tape, which means the Jeep driver will want to have a challenging conversation with his insurer about fixing the broken automobiles.
