Attention if your out traveling today!

You’re driving down a snow covered road and come upon a vehicle in the ditch. That vehicle has yellow “caution” style tape around it, what does that mean?

 
As reported by the Missouri Highway Patrol and the Henry County Sheriffs Office, yellow caution style tape around a vehicle off the roadway means that the vehicle has already been checked and there are no occupants inside.

 
This process of marking vehicles is used when there is an extended period of time before the vehicle can be towed and the vehicle presents no hazards to normal traffic flow.

 
If you see caution tape on a vehicle, there is no need to call it in. No tape, PLEASE call it in!
