A US driver has said he feels thankful to be alive after his pick-up truck plunged 70 feet from an elevated motorway onto a road below.
Richard Lee Oliver told ABC’s Good Morning America he was on his way to his mother’s house when his truck hit snow on a flyover near Milwaukee.
The crash was caught on a Wisconsin Department of Transportation traffic camera.
Mr Oliver said: “There was just too much snow on the side of the road that once the tyres got into like two feet of snow there’s no controlling a vehicle of any kind.”
He was taken to hospital with a broken back and a broken leg, among other injuries.
