A man driving in Toronto Friday morning says he’s “a little bit shaken, but OK overall” after his car was hit by a deluge of snow from a plow that was clearing a bridge overhead.
Igor Murzaev was driving on a clear Highway 407 early Friday morning as he approached the Highway 427 overpass.
Dashcam video shows snowplows were on the bridge as Murzaev approached. Then, a wall of snow created by the caravan of plows drops from above and smacks his vehicle head on.
“I saw that in a last moment but remained calm,” he told CTV News Toronto in an email. “There was no need to get off the highway and look for individual who created (this) dangerous situation because (the) camera records the incident.”
Murzaev said his windshield was broken from the impact.
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation, which operates 400-series highways, did not immediately respond to request for comment about the incident.
Snow-clearing operations are ongoing after some parts of the city were hit by tens of centimetres of snow Thursday.
