VIDEO: Dozens Of Cars Stranded In Aurora During Blizzard

Denver's March snowstorm this weekend was one for the books. It became the city's fourth-largest snowstorm since 1881, according to the National Weather Service.

The 23.8 inches of snow caused many major roads, school, and airport closures from March 13 to March 15.

On Sunday afternoon (March 14) dozens of drivers in Aurora were left stranded on Smoky Hill Road due to the heavy snow.

According to CBS4, even vehicles with four-wheel drive were getting stuck in the snow, as well as pickup trucks and plow trucks.

Eventually, people stuck in their cars were rescued by the Aurora Police Department by the evening.

"These are the folks that our SWAT Team rescued out on 64th Ave and Piccadilly in northeast Aurora," tweeted Aurora PD. "They are warming up in the back of our BEAR and on their way to shelter."

Soon after, the department tweeted that there were 48 stranded or stuck motorists throughout the city as of 5:10 P.M.

"The road and weather conditions are so poor that even some of our first responders are waiting for assistance," said officials. "We are working as quickly and safely as we can to get to everyone who has called 911 asking for assistance."
