STATE PATROL ASKS FOR A LITTLE HELP

Minnesota State Patrol Sergeant Curt Mowers said this is that time of the year when people slide off roadways and into ditches and sometimes aren't able to get their vehicle pulled back on the road right away. Mowers said if that happens to be you, the patrol would appreciate it if you gave them a call and let them know. Officers are sent out to check on vehicles left on the side of the road or in the ditch and if they know you don't need immediate assistance and you'll be taking care of the matter, they won't have to spend the time and tax money. And Mowers said to keep up the good work on calling in sightings of impaired drivers. More eyes and ears on the road are a good thing.
