An early evening crash on Route 47 near O'Brien Road, south of Hebron, damaged a Chevrolet Impala driven by an MCSD lieutenant. This one ought to be worth the $5 to find out what happened.Another vehicle, Unit 509 (pictured) incurred damage to the hood, light bar and left-side mirror and spotlight. There is a major dent on the right front of the hood, twigs in the light bar and the spotlight was knocked off. The driver's outside mirror was broken and dangling on the door.
A third vehicle, assigned to an MCSD sergeant, was also damaged during the storm.
The public ought to be curious why three MCSD vehicles were damaged in one storm and whether the other two were parked or in use. Good public relations would result in release of details to media without the necessity of FOIA requests to pry the information loose from MCSD.

Gus, you must not have been out driving in this storm. I was in Harvard when it started, and the drive back to Woodstock was one of the worst of my life.
Personally, I'm surprised it was ONLY three vehicles damaged. The roads were absolutely treacherous.
As a matter of fact, I was out driving in that storm. At 3:30PM I canceled a 6PM appointment in Marengo. I figured that, if I couldn't see 25 feet ahead in daylight in blowing snow, it would be hard as heck to drive home from Marengo after dark.
Yes, the roads were slick and treacherous. Reducing speed and increasing following and stop distance worked well for me. Not pulling out in front of moving vehicles worked well, too.
Not for some others, though.
