Snow And Ice Cause Problems For Drivers
Snow and ice on Kentucky roadways contributed to a rash of accident across the state. As snow fell throughout the afternoon and night, roads became slick and hazardous.
In some parts of the state, there were dozens of accidents reported. There were so many, police only had time to respond to the ones involving injuries. In some areas, people involved in less than serious accidents, were asked to exchange driver's license and insurance information, and contact police later for an accident report.
In some larger areas (Lexington, Louisville, Northern Kentucky) state crews called in contractors to help clear and salt roads.
