You thought doing this in a PARKING LOT was dangerous? Some idiot in New Jersey needs a new truck after he did donuts on a frozen LAKE and fell through the ice.
Someone called 911 last week after they saw the roof of the truck sticking out of the ice. The rest of it was submerged. They didn’t know if anyone was in it or not. Thankfully, he made it out and just left the truck there.
It happened near Eagleswood, New Jersey, just up the coast from Atlantic City. The mayor called it “stupidity at its finest.”
Turns out someone got it on video. It was dark out, but you can see when the ice breaks and the back end falls through. (Here’s the video.)
No word on the make and model. But the average full-sized pick-up weighs around three tons, so 6,000 pounds.
They haven’t released the guy’s name, but he’s 44 years old. He’s facing charges for reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. He also didn’t have a valid driver’s license.
Last we heard, his truck was still in the lake. Obviously, a total loss.
(Here’s a photo. Warning: There’s also a close-up video that includes uncensored profanity.)
