FRANKLIN, Tenn. — A home security camera may have won the video of the year award thanks to this footage of an incident in Tennessee over the weekend.
On Sunday, video obtained from a Nest security camera in a suburban neighborhood in Tennessee captured the scary moment when a pickup truck slid sideways down an icy street.
As you can see in the video below, the driver pulled out of his driveway and before he started to glide down the hill. He was unable to bring the truck to a stop as he passed several other driveways.
Thankfully, the driver did not hit anything and stopped sliding before colliding with a car that had been parked on the street.
The driver of the truck estimates that he slid about 150 yards before finally coming to a complete stop.
