Laughing worker ‘intentionally’ plows snow onto parked cars after storm in viral video: ‘Happy snow day, motherf–kers’

A Philadelphia snowplow driver recorded himself deliberately dumping large piles of snow onto residents’ cars while driving through city streets, laughing as he carried out the act.

The driver, identified only as a Department of Sanitation employee, posted the expletive-filled video after Winter Storm Fern dropped more than nine inches of snow on Monday. In the footage obtained by NBC Philadelphia on Thursday, the driver shouted, “If your car look like this, just go back in the house. Ain’t no need for you to be outside today,” while laughing maniacally.

“If I can’t drive, you can’t drive,” he added, as the video showed him plowing snow against vehicles already buried in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood.

At one point, a resident clearing their car called the driver an “a–hole,” prompting the operator to respond, “Go in the house.”

City officials confirmed they were aware of the video and knew the driver’s identity. They said the matter is being handled internally.

Carlton Williams, Philadelphia’s Director of Clean and Green Initiative, posted a video addressing the situation. While he acknowledged that snow can unintentionally pile up on parked cars during removal operations, he said the actions captured in this video appeared intentional and posed safety risks.

“Reports indicate drivers intentionally buried cars, creating dangerous conditions,” Williams said. “The City of Philadelphia does not tolerate this type of behavior and will address it immediately.”

Williams urged residents to report reckless snowplow activity to his office via 311 or to the police, emphasizing the city’s commitment to safety, particularly in communities that need the most help.
