Close call for a Colorado couple that struck by two avalanches while driving through Utah over the weekend. ABC7 reports Erica and David Kennebeck were driving on a mountain road when two slides broke loose dumping more than five feet of snow onto their vehicle:
“I thought, ‘I might be able to get out of this.’ Then I saw 40 and 50 feet in both directions – two bigger slides that we could not get out of” -David Kennebeck
The shaken couple managed to climb out of the driver’s side door and flag down help. A driver caught on the other side of the slide took them home. Great reminder to always keep a shovel in your vehicle when you’re winter driving. Stay safe out there!
