A Ford Bronco is ruined after attempting to drive across a frozen river on the night of Sunday, Feb. 6 in Kentucky. The driver of the vehicle, who was reportedly unharmed, drove past a "road closed" sign allegedly unaware of the river ahead of him due to heavy snowfall, which reportedly made it appear no different than the road they were currently driving on. Ultimately, the truck sank up to the roof after breaking through the ice. After spending three long days submerged, the Bronco in question is, without a doubt, totaled.

Gives a new meaning to frozen broncos. I see they used the emergency escape hatch!!! I'm sure someone will buy it at auction and resale it as slight water damaged..

To add insult to injury I wonder how cold the water was when the driver had to get out and make his way back.

In all seriousness he/she and the passengers could've died quickly from hypothermia.

Would that really be all that terrible, though?

Coming to a copart auction near you for only $20k.

It won't be long before someone makes a tik Tok of that interior pic and claims rain just blows through the top and freezes the interior . There would be 20 pages of bitchin about Ford on that bronco forum before someone linked it to the actual story .

Yep, without a doubt, totaled.

Given the vehicle scarcity issue Ford thanks that driver for his sacrifice.

Whats the over under on that driver thinking his Bronco could handle whatever closure was ahead?

I hope you're kidding, that is an awful thing to say.
