BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) -- Virginia State Police say a driver in Bedford County escaped serious injury early Friday morning when his snowplow ran off the road and flipped over.

Troopers said it happened around 5:30 a.m when the plow was removing snow from the shoulder on Goodview Road when the blade hit a soft spot.

Officials said that as the tires sank, the driver lost control and the plow ran off the road.
