Several ODOT Snow Plows Struck Already

The Ohio Department of Transportation says eight of its snow plows were struck in just one week.

“Every crash takes critical snow-fighting equipment off the road and forces other plows to extend their routes. Please, give our crews room to work,” ODOT said on Facebook.

ODOT Press Secretary Matt Bruning urges drivers to pay better attention on the roadways.

In addition to giving snow plows room to work, the Ohio State Highway Patrol reminds all motorists to obey the state’s Move Over Law, which requires drivers to move over a lane and slow down when they see emergency vehicles and work crews on the side of the road.
