Whole SUV Found Buried In Snow Near Truckee

TRUCKEE (CBS13) - Anyone happen to be missing their SUV?

While digging out some snow up in the Sierra, a Caltrans plow made a discovery that highlights just how much fresh powder has fallen recently.

As you can see in the first photo, the snow bank is piled higher than the plow's tires.
