Take it from someone living in Massachusetts this winter, snow can be a huge pain in the buttocks. It can also be a destructive force, as you can see for yourself in the following pictures and video.

Snow falling off from a multi-floor apartment building in the Russian city of Surgut pummeled a parked Mitsubishi Outlander. Luckily, no one was inside the car at the time of the accident.

The owner of the Japanese SUV, Vladimir Andreev, told Russian station Sitv that while the vehicle was damaged beyond repair, he isn’t complaining because his wife and child were supposed to go get the car but ended up being late, something that may have saved their life.

Ironically, a similar mishap occurred to another Mitsubishi model in Russia last March.
