The snow plow broke David's gate: "Could not get in for over a week"
A snow plow in Stockholm has caused significant property damage, leading to multiple claims against the local municipality.
Snow plows in Stockholm have reportedly caused widespread property damage, prompting multiple locals to file claims against the municipality. David Luengo is among those affected, having been unable to access his workplace for over a week after a snow plow broke his electronic gate. Other damages include damaged vehicles and mailboxes, with dozens of residents reporting similar incidents.
The incident occurred on January 14, when a snow-covered mass dumped from a snow plow on Essingebron smashed a car windshield on Pampasleden below. The driver expressed shock at the negligence, fearing for the safety of cyclists who might have been under the falling debris. This incident has raised alarm over the management of snow removal in the city and the responsibility of the municipality to prevent such occurrences.
With around thirty reports of damage related to snow plowing in the area, the municipal response to these claims will be closely scrutinized. Residents are demanding accountability and improved practices to ensure public safety during winter snow removal operations, highlighting the need for better communication and property protection measures from the city.
