EDMONTON — Alberta's solicitor general's office is hoping a YouTube video will be enough to make a message sink in with highway motorists.
The video, which had close to 14,000 hits since Saturday at 1:30 p.m., shows a white SUV sliding on a highway and then violently rolling several times through a guardrail.
The SUV is then seen upside-down in a ditch.
"The driver of this video was able to walk away, but you and your family may not be so lucky," reads a message on the video. "Drive safe."
Michelle Davio, a spokeswoman with Alberta Justice, said the video footage was captured from an RCMP patrol car dashboard camera near Innisfail, Alta., on a stretch of the QEII Highway.
Davio said the video was posted Friday as a reminder to motorists about the dangers of black ice.
"People need to slow down — it can change in an instant," said Davio. "This is to encourage safety on the highway."
