"I was virtually in shock," Eadie said.

An Omaha plow driver missed the mark, dumping dirt and grass all over her driveway Monday night.

Eadie called the city to complain and then called 7 Can Help.

"She was telling me it's our responsibility for the sidewalk and I said, 'How can we be responsible for what your trucks have been doing?'" Eadie said.

Moments after KETV NewsWatch 7 arrived to record the damage, a city plow drove by and cleaned much of it up. The crew said that situations like this happen sometimes.

"That much snow, you really can't feel the curb from your plow so they run up and scalp it," the crewman said.

"We really appreciate the attention and the service, and I think your coming had a bearing on it and it could be too that we called the mayors hotline that might've also sped the process up a little bit," Eadie said.

The city said it will put sod where the plow tore up the grass, but not until the spring when the ground thaws out.
