Driver Bails From Sliding Honda On Ice, Lets Jesus Take The Wheel

Controlling a car in icy conditions can be tricky and requires a certain level of finesse that takes practice to perfect. For one driver in Kansas City earlier this week, an icy bend in the Briarcliff-Claymont neighborhood proved too difficult to handle. Rather than staying inside an out-of-control car, she jumped out, likely in an attempt to avoid being injured from a potential crash.

A short clip of the events was shared on Facebook and shows the driver cruising down a right-hand bend. However, the Honda Accord is all out of sorts. It’s pointing in the wrong direction, the front wheels are turned to the left, and the driver clearly has no control over it. She opens the door and bails out, tumbling onto the pavement and watching helplessly as the dark blue Accord careens off the edge of the road and down a grass embankment.

While the clip cuts out shortly after the car hit the grass, it does show the car swerving to the left and avoiding a large street sign. Had things gone a little differently, it could have plowed straight through the embankment and crossed into the path of cars on the road below. Instead, it rolled along the grass before crashing into an area of dense shrubbery on the side of the road.

Just a single photo of the aftermath was posted, so it’s hard to say how much damage the Accord sustained. In any case, things could have been much worse if the driver-less Honda smashed into another vehicle.

If you’re uncomfortable driving along icy roads, driving courses are available to help you perfect your skills. If you can’t get to a course, practicing with an experienced driver in a safe environment is a good idea. It’s also crucial to have winter tires fitted to your car that suit such conditions.
