Police SUV helping snow-stranded vehicles gets stuck in snow
Published in Weird News
TRUCKEE, Calif. (UPI) -- California Highway Patrol troopers using their SUVs to push tractor-trailers stuck on a snowy highway ended up having to rescue one of their own -- a "new guy."
A video posted to Facebook by the CHP's station in Truckee shows a patrol SUV being used to pull an identical patrol vehicle after it got stuck in an Interstate 80 snow bank Wednesday.
The CHP said the SUV was being driven by a "new guy" while troopers were using the vehicles to push tractor-trailers that became stuck on the snowy Sierra highway.
The road was closed for several hours due to the snow Wednesday and was reopened in the evening -- but tractor-trailers were encouraged to find alternate routes.
