After getting into the car he had parked in the driveway, he put the vehicle on reverse mode and got stuck in the snow. This is where the trouble started for the young man.
He tried driving the car out of the snow but all to no avail. Then he got out of the car to clear the snow with his hands but the car still wouldn't move.
