The first major snowfall of the season brought along bad news for some 30 drivers that were involved a multi-car pileup along the West Virginia Turnpike on Monday.

One of the luckier and perhaps more skilled drivers in a modded Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII captured some of the accidents on his dashboard camera when his car stepped on black ice and almost lost complete control of the AWD model – at which point, he repeatedly makes use the “F” word, hence the NSFW warning.

Unlike the Ford Flex in front him that crashed into an Audi Avant, he was able to steer the EVO out of harm’s way (aside from some minor damages, that is), though he would have probably avoided getting into this situation altogether if he wasn’t going as fast, something he admits on his YouTube posting:

“Im driving this fast because for one, I always drive fast. And I own an EVO. lol. This storm came out of nowhere. Weather was clear 15 seconds before the video started. I let go of the gas to slow down instead of braking in the beginning of the video.

I knew I was driving too fast and braking would not have been a good idea. Beginning of this film is when I pushed the record button on the camera. You can hear me shut off the radio. My wipers aren’t even on yet.”
