Heavy snowfall keeps Utah's snowplow drivers busy on New Year's Day
SALT LAKE CITY — While most Utahns were enjoying New Year's Day off, some commuters had to brave Sunday's snowy roads to get to work.
Mau also commended the Utah Department of Transportation for being"the best in the country" at making winter roads safe for drivers. "One of our snowplow operators was doing his job on I-84 in Morgan, and unfortunately there was a semi that came by and side-swiped him and pushed him into the guardrail and flipped the snowplow," Gleason said.
"It's definitely foolish. We need to give them their space to do their job. Them being able to get the roads clear allows me to get where I need to go safely," he said."It gives them a space to work, and it gives you the chance to drive around freshly plowed roads... you really shouldn't pass a snowplow if you can avoid it," Gleason said.
