On February 17, the driver was clearing the snow-covered roads of South Lake Tahoe when he struck the back of a car that was illegally parked on the street. The driver contacted police to start the process of getting the vehicle towed out of the way, but as police and the driver started to dig out the car, to their surprise, a woman stuck her hand out of the car window waving for help. Courtesy City of South Lake Tahoe This was the back of the car the snowplow driver hit. She said she had been there four to five hours, but the amount of snow covering her car led officials to believe she possibly was there longer. “Being inside of a buried car, or starting a car buried in snow, could have deadly consequences,” said Chris Fiore, communications manager for the City of South Lake Tahoe. “If we had not gotten to her, I’m afraid this story would have a very different ending.” It took some time to dig her out, but the 48-year-old woman was able to walk away from the scene uninjured. City officials released news of the incident on Tuesday to warn residents about parking illegally, especially while the area braces for another winter storm. “One of the biggest issues we’ve had this winter is illegally parked cars,” said Ray Jarvis, public works director, in a statement. “They don’t just delay the snow removal process; they’re dangerous for everyone involved.”<doc-sep>A woman who authorities believe was living in her car was rescued after a snowplow inadvertently bumped into her vehicle, which was buried in snow. South Lake Tahoe, California, city spokesman Chris Fiore highlighted the Feb. 17 incident in a Tuesday news release urging drivers to take safety precautions in winter weather. He said the city has had problems with illegally parked vehicles, which slows snow removal. Fiore said the snowplow driver bumped into the back of the car, which popped the vehicle's trunk open. After that happened, workers from the plow truck started shoveling around the vehicle to prepare to tow it when the woman put her hand on the window from the inside. PARKING LOT BLAZE BURNS OVER 200 CARS "She wasn't trying to get out," he said Wednesday. "She wasn't making any noise." The name of the woman was not released because police did not cite her for any violations, Fiore said. She declined medical attention and left and the vehicle was towed. The woman said she'd been in the car for about five hours and seemed unconcerned about what could have happened had the snowplow not hit her vehicle, he said. The car's battery was dead and she couldn't roll down the windows. "The truth is that this could have turned out very differently," he said.<doc-sep>
