As previously reported by News Center 7, Matt Bruning from ODOT said at least 20 snowplows got hit in 2024.
“We had 22 all of last winter. Please, give us room to work!” he said on social media back on Jan. 5 when the state got with a winter storm.
ODOT repeated that request on Monday.
A photo showed one snowplow sustained rear-end damage after a crash with an SUV.
“Remember, when you see flashing lights and our crews working, give them plenty of room to do their job,” they said on Facebook.
