(VIDEO) Shocking Collision in Minnesota Caught on Camera

If it is a holiday, be warned...that is now the only time we get snow in Minnesota.

• Halloween.  Check.
• Valentine's Day.  Check. 
• Christmas.  Ok, that was the one holiday where we expected to see the fluffy, white snow on the ground but Mother Nature let us down.
• St. Patrick's Day.  We shall see!

Unfortunately, when that snow falls, cars start spinning and sliding and cause accidents.  It is a given in Minnesota.  Well, one of those accidents from the Valentine's Day snowfall was caught on camera and as you watch the video, I can almost guarantee you'll ask yourself, "How did that person hit that car?".  And...then you will watch it again because you still can't believe it happened.

Caught on Camera: Vehicle Smashes Into Stopped Law Enforcement Vehicle in Minnesota

One of the accidents that happened this week was caught on video and makes you wonder if someone was truly paying attention as they were behind the wheel.  Out of all the cars that are stopped on a road, a law enforcement vehicle is NOT the one you want to hit (especially as everyone else is avoiding it).
