WASHINGTON, D.C. — In January 2015, an Illinois man that worked for BNSF Railway Company lost his life while driving to work in a snowstorm when his vehicle slid into a snowplow. The man was told to report to work to help clear snow by a supervisor, as a major snowstorm was predicted. Though the man was not required to come in, he chose to do so, leaving for the 40-mile drive at 5:00 a.m. the following day.
