WKYC Channel 3 It just keeps happening. Yet another Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) plow was struck this week, bringing the 2024 total to 15. And we're still in the month of January.
To put that number into context, ODOT reported only 26 plow strikes for all of 2023.
"It is pretty unusual to have this many plow hits this quickly," ODOT Press Secretary Matt Bruning told 3News.
Bruning recalled that during the Christmas 2022 storm in Ohio, 12 ODOT plows were struck.
But many of these strikes are happening when there is no winter storm taking place. Here's a look at what we know about the incidents and what ODOT officials are saying.
The latest incident
ODOT reports that the 15th plow strike of 2024 happened in Ottawa County. In the Toledo District 2 post on Facebook, the agency stated that while the "pictures are intense, everyone will be OK.' ODOT added that the incident was not ice-related.
