ILLINOIS (WAND) - "Orange Crush" and "Scoopy Doo" - those are just a few names of snow plows the public helped the Illinois Department of Transportation come up with.Â
IDOT held a contest for the public to help name plows so they can be tracked online in the winter. Winning names out of more than 700 entries were announced Wednesday.Â
The "Orange Crush" name is for the plow in Riverton. "Scoopy Doo" is Quincy's plow.Â
IDOT hopes the change will encourage people to keep an eye out on the road for plows.Â
The department also let the community sign plow blades!Â
