Although tornadoes, hurricanes and lightning are all notable dangers, slick roads from ice, snow and rain actually pose one of the biggest weather-related threats to people. Our video collection below of actual dangerous driving situations, cars sliding and spinning out, snowy and icy roads and accidents caught on camera clearly demonstrate why.

Class: Premium Severe Weather
Description: A speeding car loses control as it encounters the sharp rain-slickened curve at the Oakwood Bridge on Interstate 64 in Charleston. With a shower of sparks and the heart-pounding sounds of crunching metal, the car bounces off of both barriers and rolls over onto its roof, with numerous parts of the vehicle breaking off on impact and scattering across the highway. The occupants crawl out of the rear window and flee as another car hits part of the debris and drags it down the highway, flattening one of their tires. Other cars and 18-wheelers barely miss the wrecked vehicle as they come around the blind curve at highway speeds. Includes close-up ground-level shots of the aftermath. One of our most dramatic pieces of footage and amazing evidence that wet roads are not to be taken lightly!
