The driver rammed into a police car and smashed the doors of a liquor store while driving a snow plow, according to video of the aftermath.
A Nebraska man driving a snow plow left a trail of destruction after ramming into a police car in a parking lot and smashing the doors of a liquor store in extreme snow rage.
The driver’s girlfriend says he was exhausted from going four days without sleep because he was in demand. She says the pressure of working many hours clearing snow overwhelmed him.
Travis Holm captured video of the incident in the parking lot in Lincoln, Nebraska.
“It was scary because you’ve got a 10,000-pound-plus machine with a lot of power and very slippery surfaces,” Holm tells Inside Edition.
Authorities say the rampage ended with a police officer confronting him with pistol drawn.

“Instead of using traditional rock salt, you just set this down on a walkway, it’s great for steps as well,” Braney says.
She also recommends using a car windshield cover before storms.
“It hooks around your mirror and to your tires so it even withstands wind for a winter storm and then all you have to do is unclip, pull it off when snow stops,” Braney says.
