COLUMBUS, Ind. – Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) deputies rescued several motorists this week, including a family with a four-year-old boy who was stranded on County Road 100N. Despite attempts by large tow trucks and four-wheel-drive vehicles to get them out, the family car was impossibly stuck in a deep snowdrift.
Using a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV), BCSO deputies were able to rescue the family and safely transport them home.
“We began using UTV’s in February 2019, when a snowstorm brought motorists to a halt and prevented our usual patrol vehicles from reaching people in need,” said Bartholomew County Sheriff Matt Myers.
