Please don’t be this person. I can’t stress enough how dangerous this is. One slip in these conditions and you could end up bouncing between the plow and median. Give our plows space and avoid passing them. We’ve already had one plow hit this morning, we don’t need another.

An independent investigation of the incident is being conducted by the Special Investigations Unit of the Walla Walla Police Department. Their press release is attached.
