The X post from @volcaholic1 (an account focused on extreme weather, volcanoes, and disasters) shares a dramatic video of multiple cars sliding uncontrollably and crashing into each other on an icy downhill road.

**Location:** Yeşilyurt district (specifically around Tecde neighborhood), Malatya, Turkey. **What happens in the video:** On a steep, icy slope, vehicles lose traction due to black ice (invisible ice layer formed after snowfall). One car after another slides down, colliding in a chain reaction. Bystanders can be heard shouting warnings like "It's sliding!" in panic. No serious injuries are mentioned in the post or reports, but it highlights the chaos. **Context:** This occurred amid heavy snowfall and freezing conditions in late December 2025. Overnight snow in Malatya led to widespread black ice, causing hundreds of accidents across the city that morning (December 28-29). Local news reported the city was "paralyzed" by crashes, especially in hilly areas like Yeşilyurt, as drivers headed out (schools remained open despite the weather). Turkey experienced a broader cold spell around this time, with low temperatures and snow affecting many regions, leading to hazardous driving conditions nationwide. Similar black ice pileups are common in winter worldwide (e.g., recent reports from the US and Japan), emphasizing the dangers of "hidden" ice on roads. Stay safe on winter roads—slow down and keep distance!
