There are several reports of vehicles in the ditches, median and minor collisions this afternoon in the KJAN listening area. Most of the accidents appear to be happening along Interstate 80 in Cass and Adair Counties. The Iowa DOT’s road conditions website at 511ia.org shows roads in and around Atlantic are partially covered with snow, ice and slush. I-80 from about Highway 173 in Cass County to Highway 25 in Adair County is also slushy. Slow down, and allow extra travel time to reach your destination.

Roads in blue are partially covered in snow and slush. Bridges and overpasses may be icy. (Image as of 2:30-p.m. 12/23)
