That is the worse debris field I have seen from an MVA. Bet they had a heck of a time getting all of the 250 driver in a body bag. Glad I don't work those anymore.

Well, the tailgate might be salvageable....
The way the truck is torn from back to front makes me wonder if it was going back-words when it hit the blade. Driver may have stayed in the bucket seat. Sad for the driver's family and the emergency responders.

When snow plowing shoulders at night about 3 in the morning and vehicle lights would come from behind real fast I would get a pucker factor thinking the driver might be drunk and pile into the back of my truck! Never seen nothing as bad as this video!

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
