Texan Takes Airboat for a Spin Along Ice-Covered Street

A man decided to take his airboat for a spin along the icy roads of Princeton, Texas, on January 31, amid reports by the National Weather Service (NWS) of “sleet mixed with freezing rain” in the area that afternoon.

Footage shared by Lee Taggart shows him readying his vessel before cruising down the street, and later doing donuts.

“I got the bright idea to see if my airboat would slide down the street on the ice, so we took off to storage to try it out,” Taggart told Storyful. “We had a blast cruising around on the ice.”

The NWS warned that the accumulation of sleet and freezing rain “will result in mainly hazardous travel through Thursday morning.” Credit: Lee Taggart via Storyful
