Hummer H2
Hummer H2
Baltimore, MD
Driver in a Hummer was proceeding up E. Hamburg Street near the top of Federal Hill, the street unplowed, frozen over and icy. He lost traction and was spinning, gunned the engine which spun the tires enough to melt the thin layer of ice, shot forward, jammed on the brakes on the ice ahead, and went flying over the edge of the hill and was airborne until close to the bottom of the hill. The dark spots on the hill just above the car are where he touched down, apparently then tipped over by the retaining wall. The dark spot halfway up the hill is a big culvert, and it was not touched. The driver crawled out of the car without a cut, but very much in shock. The windshield didn?t even break or pop out
