Cadillac Escalade Driver Takes 'Alternative' Highway Exit
What we have here is quite a puzzling video. Dashcam footage shot in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada shows a Cadillac Escalade launching over something - possibly a median strip - before charging down the embankment of a highway the vehicle was presumably on moments before.
Despite some painful-looking front suspension damage giving the front-left wheel some ridiculous camber, the Cadillac is almost immediately driven away from the scene.
It could be that the driver took an ‘improvised’ exit from the highway after missing the proper one, damaging the suspension when clattering over the median. Or, maybe the damage occurred earlier on, forcing the, erm, unconventional manoeuvre. (Edit: a local has since been in touch to tell us that this particular piece of road is notorious for black ice, which combined with the fact there’s a curve before the junction, could have been a factor).
With no background information to go with the video other than the fact it happened on 28 November, your guess is as good as ours. Regardless, it’s fortunate oncoming traffic was stopped at the time of the bizarre incident.

Not gonna lie, I actually thought someone stanced an Escalade before I read the title.
Z.K.
Being a good old Saskatchewan boy, I can pretty much guarantee what happened here.
The Caddy is driving on Ring Road over the McDonald St. overpass in Regina. There’s a pretty good right hand curve as you cross over the bridge. Most importantly, you can see how icy the roads are in the video.
I’m dead certain that the Cadillac was going too fast around that curve and hit a patch of black ice. You can see his brakes are pretty much locked up, which is the worst thing you can do, but by that point he was already done in.
Surprised this doesn’t happen more often there tbh.
If you watch the top right carefully you’ll see it appears then disappears from view like it went down a ditch or something, is that right? Seems like whatever it did is what caused the suspension damage because it’s broken the moment it comes into view

And y’all think that Americans suck at driving
Ya I hate people (I’m American)
typical Cadillac drivers; no ideas what the wheels are doing…
Instant stance mode! Oni-camberu mode enabled!
We’ve got so many asshat drivers in Canada… you wouldn’t believe the shit I see everyday
Canadians, need I say more?
you see this is why big rims on cars now a days are bad. caddy might have completely survived that with smaller tires.
