SPOKANE, Wash. — The City of Spokane said its crews are working with the Spokane Police Department to address problem locations due to the slick roads and snow conditions today.

The Washington State Department of Transportation said that one truck was swerving too close behind a tow plow.

According to WSDOT’s tweet, they plow at 35 mph or less even when the speed limit is 70 mph to properly disperse material on the roadway. WSDOT urges drivers to give their plows space to clear the road and to please slow down and drive for conditions.
