A snow plow was hit while clearing roads in Ohio on Sunday, according to a social media post from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).
The accident took place in ODOT’s District 3, which is in North Central Ohio.
This district serves Ashland, Crawford, Erie, Huron, Lorain, Medina, Richland, and Wayne Counties.
According to ODOT, a driver rear-ended the snowplow and then fled the scene of the accident.
The plow driver was not injured in the collision.
“We are all in a hurry, but during a snow and ice event, road conditions can change quickly,” according to the message.
Matt Bruning, ODOT Press Secretary, stated that this is the 36th plow hit this winter.
Drivers are asked to stay alert while it snows and to give snowplows enough space to do their jobs.
“We cannot be everywhere all the time. Heavy snow is difficult to manage, so plan ahead and allow for extra travel time during and after snow events,” according to the post.
