SHAKOPEE, Minn. (FOX 9) - The Shakopee Police Department shared a photo of a person skiing behind an SUV during this week's snowstorm, reminding people that skiing is for the mountains not for behind a car.
The post on Facebook Thursday morning shows a person skiing behind a car crossed out. Then a photo of a person skiing on a mountain with a checkmark.
"We didn’t think we’d have to post something like this, but here we are…," the post said.
While entertaining, doing any activity behind a vehicle in traffic can be dangerous. In 2021, a boy was injured while being pulled on a sled behind a vehicle in Michigan.
