A city in Missouri employed the use of snow plows in August on Tuesday after a semi truck hauling metal pipes crashed, spilling its load.
The crash happened on the afternoon of August 14th in Kearny, Missouri.
According to Fox 4 Kansas City, the semi truck was involved in an accident that caused the metal pipes to spill across the roadway, blocking traffic, so the Missouri Department of Transportation got creative.

The snow plows, usually reserved for winter months, were taken out of storage and brought to the crash site, pushing the metal piping into piles and making cleanup of the area a bit easier.
No serious injuries were sustained and the exact reason for the crash is unclear, but thanks to the out-of-season snow plows, the area has since been cleared.
