Idaho Transportation Department issues reminder on plow safety
The Idaho Transportation Department issued a reminder to motorists about plow safety following six incidents involving drivers and plows in the past two weeks.
Drivers should never pass plow trucks on the right, because most trucks used by the Idaho Transportation Department have two plows, one on the front and another which extends to the right side, often called a wing plow.
There are lights to alert drivers to the presence of a wing plow but they can be obscured during storms or from snow. According to the news release from ITD, if a plow is involved in an accident, it must be checked for any damage before it can be returned to service, which causes resources to become thin and could negatively affect driving conditions.
One recent incident, on Dec. 14, occured on U.S. Highway 95 near Moscow. The plow was forced off the road to avoid hitting a vehicle that had lost control and was in the opposing lane. No injuries were reported.
The most recent incident happened on Interstate 90 near Osburn, when a vehicle attempted to pass on the right and collided with the wing plow and forced the plow off the road. For more information or other winter driving tips visits itd.idaho.gov/travel.
