While the semi was driving south of Robbins Road, a mound of snow piled on top of the semi hit a traffic light.
The deputy stopped the semi, and due to it being a commercial vehicle, they had tocall in a Michigan State Police motor carrier unit for enforcement, WTOL-11 reported.
“It is a great reminder for motorists to clean off their vehicles, license plates, windows, mirrors, and roofs after heavy snowfall,” OCSO Captain Jake Sparks said.
