A luxury sedan was rendered completely immobile amid harsh winter conditions in Japan’s northern city of Sapporo, highlighting the severity of Hokkaido’s snowfall.

The incident occurred near the busy Susukino intersection on January 26, where a Lexus became stuck on a deeply uneven, snow-packed road. Visuals show the vehicle high-centered on piled-up snow as several people attempt to push it free, with little success.

The road surface appears rough and poorly cleared, making it impossible for the low-clearance car to gain traction despite assistance. According to the filmer, snow removal in the area had not yet been carried out at the time, leaving the vehicle stranded for hours.

By the following day, snowplows had cleared the road, restoring normal conditions in the area.

The scene underscores how even high-end vehicles can be left powerless during peak winter conditions in Hokkaido, where heavy snowfall frequently disrupts traffic in busy urban districts.
