According to authorities. the collision happened on eastbound Interstate 90 while the snowplow was actively treating the roadway.

Emergency crews transported the snowplow driver to a hospital for evaluation. He was later released with no serious injuries reported. Troopers arrested the semi-truck driver at the scene on suspicion of DUI, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Let’s Avoid Traffic Accidents

Avoiding auto accidents involves paying attention and practicing safe driving methods. And as always, you should follow the speed and traffic laws, and don’t text (or use your phone in any way) behind the wheel.

Keep a safe trailing distance to be able to stop, if necessary.

Do not drink and drive, and never get behind the wheel if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if you are tired.

Watch your mirrors and use your turn signals, and check your blind spots, before changing lanes or making a turn. Drive calmly and patiently, especially in heavy traffic or bad weather.

When you drive responsibly and remain alert, you help prevent accidents and keep everyone on the road safe.

Crashes involving impaired driving put road workers and motorists at serious risk. Drivers should never get behind the wheel while impaired and should slow down, keep distance, and avoid passing snowplows while they are working to help prevent serious accidents.
