    You can see the plow behind the trailer. On the other side of the trailer was the plow upside down & in pieces.

    Couldn't get a pic of the plow.

    Be careful out here and slow down

    Guys, drive for the conditions not for your appointments.....if this keeps up some state(s) will introduce maditory license retesting every "X" months.

    Im still trying to figure out how the heck you hit a snowplow....big yellow thing with flashing lights all over it ......

    Visibility wasn't horrible either. Not the best, but you could definitely see down the road.

    Hit him pretty good. Knocked off the plow & the dump bed and landed upside down.

    That right there is NOT a mega carrier truck. It looks like a "real trucker" truck.

    That's easy, all those lights blind you coming up on it. I've thought about intentionally hitting them, and anything else with all those stupid LED flashing lights all over them.
