With #CaughtOnBlackVue, we spotlight real stories from BlackVue users who’ve experienced firsthand how a dash cam can make all the difference. This week’s submission for CaughtOnBlackVue comes from a professional driver in Yellowknife, Canada, whose quick thinking—and a BlackVue DR750X Plus—helped turn a harrowing crash into a clearly resolved insurance claim.
A Routine Drop-Off Turns into Impact
The incident occurred on January 29, 2025. The user, a ride-hailing driver, was doing a standard passenger drop-off along a residential road blanketed in deep snow. As seen in the front camera footage captured by his DR750X Plus, the car is stationary when a large black GMC SUV appears in the distance, descending a steep, snow-covered slope.
Despite clear attempts to slow down, the SUV is going too fast for the road conditions. Within seconds, it crashes directly into the front of the user’s vehicle.
Dash Cam Footage Clears the Way
Although the vehicle was severely damaged, with the repair estimate reaching around $18,000, the driver walked away unharmed. And thanks to the video footage, he had everything he needed to document the incident.
I’m okay, but my car was wrecked. Thankfully, my BlackVue dash cam recorded everything. I showed the police what happened and the insurance is going to take care of everything.
The footage was submitted to both the police and the insurance company, clearly showing fault. The result? The other driver’s insurance accepted full liability, and the BlackVue user received a full payout of approximately $20,000, the total value of the car.
Choosing a New BlackVue Dash Cam
As a token of appreciation, and recognition for this compelling real-world use case, the user was selected as this week’s winner in the CaughtOnBlackVue event. His choice of prize? The latest BlackVue DR970X Box-2CH Plus—our flagship 4K dual-channel dash cam, packed with enhanced video clarity, secure box-type architecture, and optional Cloud connectivity.
Why It Matters
When winter driving meets unpredictable traffic, having reliable dash cam footage can be the difference between fighting to prove your innocence, or having video do the talking for you.
This story highlights not just the importance of quality video capture, but also the long-term value of being equipped, even with an older generation model like the DR750X Plus. It delivered when it mattered most.
