Pickup blows through red light then launches off snow bank

A video has been shared online showing the moment a pickup truck ran a red light and became airborne after launching off a snowbank.
The heart-stopping 42-second clip was uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, where it has racked up more than 15,000 views as of Friday morning, and counting.
The video, shared by Roland Plain III, a fitness instructor from Highland, New York, begins with a vehicle carrying several men driving on a road in broad daylight with hip hop music blaring in the background.
Suddenly, one of the occupants of the car spots a white pickup truck up ahead that appears to be speeding.
'He's going straight,' the man says just before the other vehicle blows through a red light at an intersection and smashes into a snowbank, sending a cloud of ice and snow into the air.
'Oh, holy s*hit, bro!' the astonished eyewitness exclaims. 'That was real.'
The young men keep the camera rolling as they drive up to the spot where the battered pickup truck had come to a stop after smashing into a low metal pillar, with the rear of the vehicle resting atop a small mound of snow and ice.
'Is this dude good?' the narrator of the video wonders aloud, referring to the driver of the pickup. 'What was this dude doing? This dude is so f***ed up.'
The clip ends with the companions pulling over and getting out of their car, presumably to render aid to the crash victim.
Little information is known about the accident and its outcome, beyond the fact that it took place on Thursday somewhere in the US, possibly in upstate New York where the person who posted the video lives and works.
