Icy Roads, Black Ice and Snow Accidents, Spinouts and Crashes Stock Footage
The StormScenes archive of high-definition icy road "caught-on-tape" stock footage is the most extensive of its kind from a single source. Not just accident aftermath is covered - accidents, spinouts, crashes and slide-offs are all caught on camera as they happen. I spend considerable effort documenting this hazard, due to its status as the most dangerous type of weather phenomenon in terms of injuries and lives lost. This collection of footage includes road icing impacts of all types, including black ice from freezing rain and icing from snow, sleet and blowing snow. I am also available for interviews and consulting regarding this little-covered but high-impact weather danger. -Dan
