VIDEO: Wellesley Police Officer Brushes Snow Off Driver's Roof, Issues Warning
WELLESLEY (CBS) – A Wellesley police officer gave a driver a hand – and a warning – for hitting the road with too much snow on her roof. Officer Derek Harris pulled over a woman Wednesday who was one of many driving dangerously this week following a snowstorm.
The woman had only cleared enough snow to see through her front windshield. She told Harris that she didn't own a snow brush.
Video captured by resident Joanne Chlebogiannis shows Harris using a brush to clear the roof of the car.
