It's always good to do whatever you can to set yourself apart from everyone else on your first day at a new job, but a Connecticut snowplow driver may have gone about it the wrong way!
Homeboy was plowing "snow" alright.
The pure, Colombian kind.
News 12 in Connecticut has more details:
Mark Keene, 46, is charged with driving under the influence and reckless driving for the incident on Dec. 28.
It happened just before 7:15 a.m., beginning on Glen Ridge Road, when Keene veered off the pavement and hit a home's stone walkway, then continued across the front yard next door and into that house's porch, causing one side to collapse. New video obtained by News 12 shows the plow smash into the porch and then continue over a stone wall and through the neighboring property. A large tree blocks where the plow goes next, but the video includes the sound of a loud crash.
Ring camera footage previously released by police captures that collision — showing the plow cross the street and slam into a parked car in a driveway on Tahmore Drive. The force pushed the car through the closed garage door and under another car inside, stacking the cars on top of each other.
According to Keene's warrant, the plow's path of destruction from beginning to end totaled 434 feet.
Attaboy, Mark.
According to police who responded at the scene, Keene was still in the truck and had no clue that he had just been involved in the accident.
The crash occurred during Keene's first day on the job, according to the owner of Bollinger Landscaping. The warrant said he told police he'd just hired Keene the day before with clear instructions to plow and sand two specific driveways on Glen Ridge Road, which never happened.
Now that's how you make an impression on your first day.
Keene faces charges of driving under the influence and reckless driving, with a February court date.
Might want to leave that job reference off your résumé.
