Kansas City snow plow speeds down residential block at 3 a.m., waking neighbors: ‘Shook the house!’
It was like a scene out of “Fast and Furious.”
A home security camera caught a glimpse of a snow plow in Kansas City, burning down a residential block in the middle of the night Tuesday.
In the footage, the plow is seen leaving a large cloud of snow several feet high as it sped past about a dozen homes in five seconds.
The commotion was enough to wake up at least a few curious neighbors.
Frankie Belluci, a Kansas City real estate agent, posted the video he captured on Facebook.
“This kind of reckless driving is dangerous and irresponsible,” he wrote.
“This is UNACCEPTABLE!”
Belluci, who heard the noise around 3 a.m., thought the driver was going at least 40-45 miles an hour.
The street has a 35 mph speed limit but, according to the city, snow plow operators must adhere to a strict 20–25 mph speed limit.
It’s unclear from the video whether the plow was effectively removing snow.
What’s clear is Belluci doesn’t seem to be the only one irked by the flying vehicle.
“It woke my entire house up at 3 am which was super neat,” Kirsten Braun sarcastically commented on the post.
“It was so loud and they were going so fast it shook the house!”
“I coulda swore you had it in 4x the speed til I looked at the timer,” wrote Cacie Arcidino.
City officials said they take the safety of the community very seriously.
“The city investigates all concerns thoroughly,” Kansas City press secretary Sherae Honeycutt told Fox News Kansas City
A heavy winter storm made its way through parts of the US earlier this week, with the heaviest snow descending on the Midwest and, in particular, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Kentucky.
