How the hell do you collide with a snow plow? They're huge! You can't miss them.

We drove by the accident before they shut the road down, emergence crews were just showing up. Its purely speculation of course but from where the vehicles were stopped I would think the snowplow was southbound and the minivan northbound clipped the front of the plow head on. The driver side front of the minivan was caved in and the plow had veered right into the ditch.
Of course I am not an accident scene investigator but thats how it looked to me.
Glad the guy lived!

Yes you are acrider54. I don't, never have, but many do. It is hilarious in the morning when I am going to work. I have never seen so many vehicles in the ditch in my life, and it's not like there are that many curves.

coming down foothills this afternoon at about 1430 a plow came out of the Otway road exit heading south on Foothills and almost took me out ... he didnt even look ... I was about 100 yards behind a pickup ... he came out behind the pick up and had to swerve to avoid him
