A snow plough driver has had a day he would rather forget after ending up in a ditch in Calhoun, Georgia.

He was in the process of clearing snow from the upper deck of a parking lot when the truck fell into a snow-covered hole and tipped over on January 12.

The driver was not hurt in the accident. It took a crane to pull the truck from the hole.

The region was hit by a snowstorm early last week that dumped at least half a foot of snow on Calhoun and closed schools for days.
