The weekend process to remove snow downtown included an accident in which a city of Trenton vehicle backed into a van that was trailing the snowplow.
No injuries were reported from the accident just before midnight Saturday night on Main street near 11th Street.

A southbound van, driven by 52-year-old Shelly Marie Brewer of Trenton, was unable to back up in time. The front of the van, according to police, received moderate damage when struck by the salt and sand spreader attachment. No damage was noted to the city of Trenton vehicle.
