SPOKANE, Wash. - It was quite the show on Spokane's South Hill on Saturday December 18, 2010 as vehicles slid all over the icy roadway crashing and smashing into each other.

Concerned citizens shutdown the streets as they awaited help from city street crews. There were no reports of any serious injuries, just some serious damage.

The people that just kept their brakes locked up as they slid need to wake up. Take your foot off the brake and let the wheels spin and you may regain some steering!

Nice try for the Dark Grey Chevy Duramax tryin alil to hard not to hit the pile up. 4wd and power dont really compensate at all on the ice. Just be careful out there on the roads ppl.

@Conekillah The white Tacoma driver is a friend of mine. Had studded snows on and said he had no problem even after gassing a little to keep the black diesel from hitting him. Everyone else locked their brakes which sealed their fate. Yay to the black car, he knows how to drive!
