MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho — The Idaho Transportation Department is reminding those on the road to watch for snow plows after an accident with a semi on Saturday took one of the plows off the road permanently.

The collision happened on I-84 southeast of Mountain Home. ITD says this marks the fifth snow plow strike statewide and the second this week alone.

The damage to the plow is significant enough that the vehicle will be retired following the accident. ITD is reminding drivers to stay vigilant and be aware of the extreme weather conditions to keep themselves, other drivers, and snow plow operators safe.
