Trapped by a rolling berm
A funny thing happened to Jamie Sedlmeyer and her boyfriend, Les, while they were delivering papers at Coeur d’Alene Place early this
morning. They got plowed in. We’re not talking about being plowed in while they were in a driveway, tossing newspapers to sleeping customers. They were plowed in WHILE driving on the street. Seems Jamie and her boyfriend were delivering papers with a snowplow on their bumper when they pulled over to let the driver pass. He did, with blade down, creating a snow berm around Jamie’s vehicle, trapping it. Jamie had asked her boyfriend to tag along to help her push her vehicle if it got stuck. For the first time in a long time, the Press had called off delivery of the newspaper the night before, due to snow accumulation. So she was delivering the papers for Monday and Tuesday. While Jamie’s boyfriend tried to dig out her car, she delivered newspapers the old-fashion way. On foot. Jamie, who provided Huckleberries with details to this story, Facebooks: “Moral of the story is, when a snow plow comes up behind and rides your (bumper), you do not kindly move over to let them pass. They won’t be so courteous as they leave you stranded at 2:30 a.m. with a 3 foot frozen berm trapping you.” Ultimately, Jamie and her boyfriend were pulled out of the berm by her district manager at the Press. Be careful out there.
