Parked Police Car Creates Domino Effect as Vehicles Crash on Icy Oregon Road

A parked police car slid down an icy road and crashed into multiple parked vehicles in Pendleton, Oregon, on Monday, December 15.

Video recorded by Darin Rueppel shows two police officers slowly walking down the icy hill as the unoccupied police vehicle causes a chain reaction of crashes.

“It parks itself into a boat, and then into a truck, and then that truck is going to go into that truck” Rueppel commentates as the calamity unfolds.

Citing authorities, local media reported that there was a total of 10 vehicle crashes in Pendleton on Monday, with no reported injures.
