Michigan police department: Challenging snow plows with your shovel will likely result in death

A Michigan police department has a stern and graphic warning for folks shoveling snow.

The Lowell Police Department, in Kent County, posted the warning to their Facebook page Monday morning.

People people people!!!! Please do not walk out in front of a city snow plow with your shovel challenging our drivers not to plow in your driveway. 26,000 lbs of metal and salt does not stop on a dime.

If the truck doesn’t crush you and kill you instantly, the blade will dismember your body and you’ll bleed out before any help arrives.

Sorry for the graphic detail, but this is serious stuff here. I don’t like shoveling out the end of my driveway either, after I already had it done, but it’s the nature of living in Michigan.

We have someone wanting to be a Darwin Award Candidate. Not something to be proud of.

So, yeah, don't do that.
