POLK COUNTY (NBC 26) -- The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is using a recent incident to remind the public about safely transporting winter equipment.
WisDOT shared a photo on its Facebook page of an incident Sunday that involved the state patrol. The picture shows a snowmobile mounted sideways on top of a car.
"DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME," the caption reads. WisDOT says Wisconsin State Patrol stopped this vehicle Sunday on US 63 in Polk County because the manner in which the snowmobile was being transported wasn't safe.
"If you’re transporting equipment this winter, you are advised to safely haul it secured on a trailer or in a truck," WisDOT writes.
