Jan. 21—A vehicle crash involving a city snowplow occurred Saturday morning at the intersection of E. Woodman Road and Tutt Boulevard in northern Colorado Springs.

Around 10 a.m. Saturday the involved vehicle and plow were driving side-by-side. It is suspected the driver of the vehicle suffered from a medical event, causing him to drift into the right side of the plow, according to Colorado Springs police.
