This story is proof that even snow plows can struggle in the winter weather.

A viewer sent us this photo, taken on Meadowbrook Road in Berrien County, just off of I-94.

Officials with the county road commission say around 5 a.m., the plow driver hit a slick curve that hadn't been treated yet and slid through the guard rail into the ditch.

The driver is OK.

Crews were waiting until it got a little lighter out to remove the plow. They will probably have to close the road for a short time to get it out but they say they'll reopen it as they see fit if there is a large traffic back up.
