"I can't remember the last time we got snow like that," said Sam Gressler, a plow truck driver. The recent storm brought long hours for Gressler and the 50 drivers operating county trucks.
ODOT said the accidents demonstrate why it’s so important that drivers slow down when there is ice and snow on the highway. They urge drivers to give the plow trucks plenty of room to do their work.
