Snow Caused Slippery Roads, Crashes

Several inches of snow have fallen since Monday night and that caused slippery travel and multiple crashes.

State police said there were several crashes early Tuesday morning, mostly involving tractor-trailers, and there were several highway closures.

As the storm calms down, they are seeing fewer crashes, but drivers who do not have to be out are asked to stay off the roads and allow the state Department of Transportation to continue to clear the roads.

State police are also urging people to clear off their vehicles. If they do not, they could be fined. They are also urging drivers to leave extra space and give themselves more time than usual to get to their destination.

State police said since Monday night, troopers have responded to over 40 crashes. Minor injuries were reported.
