TWIN FALLS, Idaho — Two more ITD snow plows were struck and knocked out of commission Wednesday.

Early Wednesday morning, one of the Idaho Transportation Department's snow plows was struck while working to clear snowy roads along I-84.

ITD says the vehicle was rear-ended by a semi-truck as it was clearing ice and snow just outside of Twin Falls.

Later in the day, a second snowplow strike happened on another stretch of I-84, also involving a semi-truck rear-ending the back of a snowplow.

This marks the seventh and eighth snowplow strikes of the season. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported but it leaves ITD down two more snowplows for the next 1-2 week for repairs.

As always while out on the roads, officials urge you to slow down and be mindful of snow plows as you drive.
