No matter how much you may hate driving in freezing rain, it could always be worse — you could be behind the wheel of an out-of-control fire truck.
On Monday morning, Arnold, Missouri resident Katelynn Voisey headed to Facebook with a stern word of warning for her fellow Missourians after witnessing a fire truck spin out and smash several vehicles while driving down a slicked hill — “DON'T LEAVE YOUR HOUSE TODAY.”
“Car hit my car and then landed on a fire hydrant,” she captioned her now-viral clip. “Then the pick up hit the car and then the fire truck slammed the blue car past my car and used it as a buffer to not hit that guys house. Very scary moment today!”
#Freezingrain is no joke! check out this fire truck losing control down a hill!

“Did they just Tokyo Drift a fire truck into those people’s driveway?” asked @BenchBossx2.
“Fast and Furious getting outta hand now,” wrote @NOTKoolKerm_, while @Mike_InIllinois thought to frame the ordeal as a teachable moment for a-hole employers.
“And my boss wonders why I call and say I’m working from home on days like today,” they joked.
So take it from this tale of driving doom — there’s a reason it’s not called an ice truck.
