The person who uploaded the video said it was captured using a dash cam. On Monday evening it was featured on Internet-community website Reddit's front page and had amassed more than 70,000 views on YouTube. The time stamp said it was recorded in 2013, but the uploader indicated in the video's description that the footage was filmed late last week.
