Dam, Not much left to scrape off the snow. All because he took his eyes off the road for a second and hit the snow , ice in the center.

Something tells me that wasn't survivable, and its one of those, "saw it coming" deals. For the driver of the SUV it was over in an instant, but the driver of that semi will relive that in his mind forever.

The oncoming car next to the truck snuck thru somehow. Saw this video the other day. Scary stuff, but I'd agree with 843...suv driver prolly didn't feel much.

I'm hopeing there was only a driver in the suv , because that impact killed everything in every seat.
And you don't know if that car that snuck threw did'nt hit 3 cars head on as it past the car taking video.
Brutal stuff !
It was just the worst senario , If the truck next to him is 15 feet forward of him or 15 feet behind he goes off to the right into the ditch and lives, But nooooo , Theres a truck next to him that deleets his nice save from going into oncoming trafic . f-ck , Thats how quick a chillin ride can be your last one.
Be careful out there , And be a defensive driver , Suspect the unsuspecting and it will save your life .

I had seen this before. Len, even with the best tires, same outcome in that weather and situation. Freak accidents are just that, freaks. Must be a R.I.P. in here somewhere but I've never read any details on the crash.

It happens sometimes.
night snowfall, road services do not have time to clear the highway. As a result, we have a track - the strips of asphalt and strips of wet sticky snow.
This poor guy came to position for overtaking, but it does not take into account the resistance of the snow. Sticky snow "bite" a left wheels and the car to throw on the highway.

And more ..
On Russian roads (and not just on the road) there are mystical places, they are cursed. For example, the road is laid in ancient cemeteries. Or place of bloody battles, killing tens of thousands of soldiers. these places very much In the European part of Russia. The drivers know about them, go very carefully. Nevertheless, there are fatal accidents every day.
This Video made on 109 km to the M7 highway - one of the damned place. Located near the Omutischi village, Vladimir area.
