In Ernest Calvert and Kenneth Williams v. State (1985, 38 Ill. Ct. Cl. 104, Claimant was attempting to make a left turn at the intersection of Route 3 and Old Route 3 in Cairo, Illinois. At the intersection, Claimant testified that there were large piles of snow in the median approximately 5 feet high and 20 feet wide, so as to obstruct his view of oncoming vehicles. Claimant testified that he crept out into the oncoming traffic lane to see if there were any approaching vehicles. When he did so, a vehicle approaching struck his automobile. Claimant argued that the State was negligent in piling the snow around the median in question in a manner, which obstructed drivers' vision. Prior to the collision, there had been a substantial snowfall of some 10-12-inches, which had accumulated over a period of 3-4 nights and had caused the State to plow the area several times. The Court held again that the heavy snow fall in a short period of time did not allow the State sufficient opportunity to clear the snow from the median at that intersection.
