Brockton Shoveler vs Plow Driver Caught on Camera
A Brockton resident asked the plow driver to skip his driveway and ended up blocked in again.
BROCKTON, MA — A Brockton man had his driveway blocked in, despite pleads to skip his home because his dad had to pick up his mother.
Luri Viega was shoveling his driveway Tuesday when he saw the plow coming. After asking the plow to go around his home, the plow can be seen on surveillance camera intentionally plowing snow into the driveway, at one point turning the truck towards the property.
Mayor Bill Carpenter Told NBC Boston that the behavior endangered Viega’s safety. The city’s contract with the driver has been canceled, he said.
