About 2 miles later, I see that SUV nose-first into the concrete median barrier. When I go past it, that car is a brand new Lexus, still with the 30-day paper temporary tag.

Folks do not realize that 4-wheel drive does NOT equal 4-wheel stop.
This is why I literaly stay off of I-90 in this type of weather. I will take twice as long and risk unplowed side streets before I let some bonehead push me into a semi.
