It happened just before 2 p.m. on Jan. 23 when troopers say a plow truck traveling westbound on the turnpike between state Route 4 and state Route 250 caused snow and ice to be thrown into eastbound lanes, the Ohio State Highway Patrol says.

The employee is currently on administrative leave, pending the outcome of an investigation.
