Description
A large, dark green military-style dump truck with a raised bed drives down a snowy, slushy residential street. A light-colored sedan follows behind. Two people wearing winter clothing stand on the left side of the road, facing the approaching vehicles. Snow is visible on the grass and rooftops, and the sky is overcast. Utility poles and wires line the street, and modest homes and evergreen trees are in the background. The truck bears a yellow and red license plate.
