'We had 22 all of last winter. Please, give us room to work!' he said on social media back on Jan. 5 when the state got with a winter storm.
ODOT repeated that request on Monday.
A photo showed one snowplow sustained rear-end damage after a crash with an SUV.
'Remember, when you see flashing lights and our crews working, give them plenty of room to do their job,' they said on Facebook.
