Tashara Parker, a news reporter for WFAA in Texas, is going viral for keeping it real while giving advice about driving during a snowstorm.
"Look, let me tell you something," Parker told viewers during her weather report, according to a tweet. "If you don't have good tires this morning, you do not wanna be out there this morning. I don't want you out there period. But if your tires aren't good, you are going to run into some not-so-good situations."
When you try to tell people like it is.

If you have a truck, doesn't mean you can't get stuck either. Big tires don't equal good tread SMH

According to The New York Times, at least two people sustained injuries and another died when a major car crash happened near San Antonio during a snowstorm on Friday. Drivers were also stranded for more than 10 hours in the frigid temperature while authorities cleared the highway.
Gov. Greg Abbott said the storm is “one of the most significant icing events that we’ve had in the State of Texas in at least several decades,” the Times reports.
