RoadCam 7 then ran into a problem, and got stuck trying to come down a hill in Boonton, New Jersey. As of 6:30 p.m., most of the snow was packed and thick - almost like ice.

RoadCam7 started to slide, and in order to avoid hitting a parked vehicle on a side street, they basically came to a stop.
Then Boonton Police and Fire Dept. stepped in, called salt trucks. The salt melted the ice beneath @ABC7NY RoadCam. Thank you! (contd.) pic.twitter.com/ZfHxVPFu5z

However, there is good news! The fire department arrived on scene, to help RoadCam7 get out of the mess.
We are now free! @ABC7NY RoadCam back on the road. Thank you again to Boonton police, fire, and DOT! pic.twitter.com/5eGHa9hziy

If you have to drive, it is best to not go up and down unpaved inclines.
