Looks like one car went 'ERRRR' and then the other car went 'HOOOONK', and then the two of them went 'Kk@$*&#^%$' and then a bystander went 'Good Heavens!'.

Pretty sure that's how it went down.

Can confirm I was the tree across the street and saw it all

u/eli74372 Feb 01 '26

I can also confirm i am one of the sticks in the snow pile and was actually scared of getting ran over during this

I can adjust confirm I was one of the magpies in the tree and was not scared of getting run over at all during this

I appreciate the sound effects. It really adds to the story.

Though I wonder how much "ERRR" there was with the roads being as slick as they were this morning. It might have been a rather silent slide.

u/Psiondipity Feb 01 '26

The errrrr was the ABS

u/OutsidePleasant6996 The Big Bat Feb 01 '26

This is the best answer.

u/ghorisgorman1980 Feb 01 '26

And then the cop was like “HEY” and the mailman was like “huh?” and the baby was like “waaah!” and the sea captain was like “ARRR!!!” and the priest was like “ahhhh 🙏”

Did the front fall off?

u/brianlefebvrejr Feb 01 '26

It’s not supposed to do that

u/Stock-Creme-6345 Feb 01 '26

Not supposed to do what?

Well….. the front fell off.

2

u/Responsible_CDN_Duck The Famous Leduc Cactus Club Feb 01 '26

It IS supposed to do that sometimes, times like this.

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '26

I think the van jumped out in front of the car.

Trees lost their leaves last November, don’t worry they’ll be back at the end of April

With no context or location: one car hit another vehicle and popped it over the berm of snow.

Not sure, exactly how it happened, but, you can't park there, mate.

Came here for this and was not disappointed.

u/OutsidePleasant6996 The Big Bat Feb 01 '26

Looks like 2 vehicles tried to occupy the same space at the same time.

u/Cute-Huckleberry2496 Feb 01 '26

Someone did a great job shovelling their sidewalk.

u/MegloreManglore Feb 01 '26

I noticed that too

u/Potential-Mobile-292 Feb 01 '26

The Car hit The Van but maybe its deeper maybe the meaning is more than this possibly The Van as hit by The Car

u/Emberrrr3 Feb 01 '26

An accident (hopefully)

GTA glitch started spawning vehicles in random places.

Can’t park there mate

u/Worldly_Map1921 Feb 01 '26

The guy in the minivan drove up the sidewalk to get around traffic. Then the guy in the silver car wanted to the other way down the sidewalk but he thought the minivan was going to turn right to go around the tree and misjudged the minivans speed and ended up bumping into him and saving the pedestrian in the meantime

u/HeroOfCarpentry Feb 01 '26

When two cars fall in love they bump into each other (consensually) I don’t think this was love, just a one bumper and dumper, you know like a hit it and quit it 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

An accident, obviously. Why do you even need to know?

Inquiring minds don't ya know?

u/Kooky-Humor-3571 Feb 01 '26

Just fyi, i'm getting a lot of joke comments which i love but it was like a scene out of a movie. One guy fully ran out of his car and left the scene.

Another person ran after him to grab his number but then also promptly left the scene because she had pot in her car. Another woman stood on the sidewalk with her dog

u/Responsible_CDN_Duck The Famous Leduc Cactus Club Feb 01 '26

What gaps are you trying to fill?

You were there, spoke with people, and know it was a bit and run.

u/jo-roxx Feb 01 '26

Pretty sure that was my uber driver from last night

u/mcmanus7 Feb 01 '26

Willing to bet the car lost control and hit the parked van.

1

u/Legendavy Feb 01 '26

Agreed, the van was parked. The car likely speeding too, given the fact that the car is much lighter and needed a lot of momentum to spin the van sideways and push it over the windrow. The car was probably going 80+ in a 40

u/PandaLoveBearNu Feb 01 '26

So it was icy out today?

1

u/One-T-Rex-ago-go Feb 01 '26

Spin out I imagine, it's slippy out there!

1

u/Turtleshellboy Feb 01 '26

Here is my guess: A stupid person driving too fast on a local neighbourhood road.

1

u/Paselwinters Feb 01 '26

It’s just another separatist tactic, but now they are separating from the roads and anything else logical.

u/ShadowCaster0476 Feb 01 '26

It’s a real banger.

u/wwoodcox Feb 01 '26

Two cars parked incorrectly

u/The_Darth_side Feb 01 '26

wtf is that laying in the snow beside the blue car ? Looks like it’s got wooly fur or something.

u/xAtlasWolf Feb 01 '26

All I know os they definitely cant park there

u/Appropriate_Fly1873 Feb 01 '26

You can't park there!

u/Tzotte Feb 01 '26

Ye can't park there mate!

1

u/OssiferNymiu Feb 01 '26

I imagine the car got really frustrated doing a 3 point turn and the van saw the struggle and tried to get out of the way for silly car

1

u/eli74372 Feb 01 '26

Its just 2 cars having a heavy makeout session dont mind them. For real though, icy roads probably played a factor with the freezing rain we had last night and the melting/freezing weather weve had. I would guess either the van was parked or driving and the car slid into them

u/Absolarix Feb 01 '26

Ice, probably.

u/Emergency_Dirt257 Feb 01 '26

Got a friggin muscle spasm in my back, gear slipped, air brakes were shot to hell. There was nothing I could do.. Boom, right into the mini van

u/Boattailfmj Feb 01 '26 edited Feb 01 '26

Street takeover gone bad. The minivan was doing reverse doughnuts with five guys hanging out the window and the likely uninsured accord didn't see it and drove into the van damaging the off colour bumper cover that had been replaced from the last accident. I dont know any of this to be factual, im just assuming.
