“Hanson” snow plow honors late Webster DOT driver - Dakota News Now 01/10/2023

WEBSTER, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - A Department of Transportation snow plow in Webster has a new name, and it wasn’t one chosen in a contest.

Todd Hanson began driving for the South Dakota Department of Transportation in Webster when he was just 18 years old. After a 35-year career, Hanson passed away in the spring of 2022 after battling colon cancer.

”Todd was a heck of a guy. He was a man of not too many words, so you better listen when he did talk,” said DOT Maintenance Worker Mark Besaw.
