Hundreds of drivers in Oregon are coming back for their cars after a powerful snow storm forced them to abandon them Tuesday.

The Oregon Department of Transportation estimates that at least 1,000 vehicles were left on the side of the road by people who got stuck in the strong storm. Many of those vehicles are now being towed away to help reopen roads.

State officials say if people don't come back for their cars soon they could face steep fines.
