Wisconsin DOT Asks Motorists to Give Snowplows Space

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation reminds motorists to give snowplows space while they clear the state’s roads.  A Facebook post from the agency says most winter crashes are caused by drivers going too fast for the conditions.  They urge motorists to slow down, be attentive, and stay at least 200 feet away from a snowplow.  The message comes after the January 20th death of a Milwaukee County snowplow driver that ran off the road.  The family of 71-year-old John Manka says his truck was cut off by another driver before it crashed near I-41 and Beloit Road.
